I would be happy to discuss it if you explain it to me at a more elementary level.

I'll start by defining terms:

Position refers to the way God looks at the Christian and is based on the past work of Christ and the Christian's identification with Him. Daily successes and failures play no part in the standing, or position, before God. The position of the Christian before God is unchangeable for all eternity.

Condition refers to the day-to-day experience, which can rise and fall through well-being and adversity, spiritual health and sickness. One day the Christian's condition may be seeking God, while another day fleeing God. One day feeling victorious, another defeat.
