Default Re: Eternal Salvation Is Free; Ruling With Christ Is Earned

Just a quick addendum to my previous post -

If it did nothing else, our Local Church experience should have taught us to always be soberly and carefully considering the practical implications and eventual consequences of any doctrine, teaching or practice. Of course this falls under the "hindsight is 20/20" category, but I guess this is all that is left for us former LC members to do at this point.

This being said, what were the practical implications and eventual consequence of this Kingdom Exclusion teaching in the Local Church of Witness Lee? Did it cause those who imbibed it to love the Lord their God, love their families, love and serve their neighbors and to become a profitable servant for the sake of the gospel and God's Kingdom? Did we become disciples, servants and promoters of the Person and work of our Lord Jesus Christ, or did we become a fan and promoter of the person and work of a mere man and his so-called "Ministry of the Age"?

For your consideration I would present to you one Minoru Chen, who proudly proclaimed that he was "full of Witness Lee's spirit". There is a short video of this out there but I can't seem to find it at this time.
