Agree. The 2nd and 3rd generations have, by their own words on this forum, suffered the consequences of Lee's "programs, ways and means" and dead traditions and legalism. I've had the thought before that Witness Lee was, at heart, a "methodist".
Salvation from sins is foundational of the Christian faith as we are told by an angel of the Lord in Matthew. "Calling on the Lord" while virtually ignoring our need of being saved from sins is without balance.
The verses in Romans give us details of what was announced to Joseph in a dream.
Matthew 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus:for he shall save his people from their sins.
Hebrews 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
So this brief note is for anyone who may rely on "calling on the Lord" for a walk with the Lord: there are more verses in the Bible than Acts 2:21. Consider the verses in Romans.
