I felt like adding something...God doesn't overrule completely your common sense..."switching that off" via leadership-structure is IMO a sign of fascistoid
organisations.God could have forced Adam and Evein the garden,...but He didn't that "senery" says IMO a whole lot...high demand organisations seem to hate failure...fascistic leaders like Berg are control freaks...any blunder or mistake makes them panic...it's also unfortunately a bit my trait,, that I cannot take so easily defeat...notso superpleasant...but prayer always helped gave comfort...
I just wish you to think, that salvation was/is to your benefit on the grounds of Jesus labour for mankind...God'slove for us...if Hedidn't spare His own son...how will He not share everything with us reasons Paul...so HE is for us not the ogre...of course many times in life I wonder why He can't getthat damn opponent off my life...but I guess it must be the school of hard knocks.
So salvation is for you/us...something meant for eternity...and serving should be out of thankfulness not coercion...that is why the picture of marriage is so beautiful...Jesus won His bride through love unto death
So we shouldn't get that picture all into the dark...that was my objection
TFI got a few things right and salvation might be one of it...except, that I miss a bit more the repentance-part...plus I don't know why they skipped baptism...the explanation of Berg I don't consider valid
