Yes! Your assessment is accurate. The emphasis on what they consider "good material" is completely unbiblical and relegates the finished work of Christ to a few special people. It appears they do not believe that Christ can save anyone He pleases to the uttermost. He needs a little help. The Lord tells us in Luke 4:23 and 5:23 that he came for the sick. They must have missed this in their Life Studies. If they only knew how Christ is revealing Himself and forming Himself in the hearts of His people (no matter what kind of material they were) outside of their organization they would be shocked. As you said it's all about the business.
