I think the term "One with the ministry" can be considered doublespeak. It is loosely based on verses in Paul's ministry about how some were faithful coworkers and some abandoned him. But it is used in a way similar to calling someone a Jew in Nazi Germany. It is the kiss of death to be labeled as "not one with the ministry".
This creates an ironic twist. Even though the LSM publications teach that the ministry is for the churches and not the other way around, every church is in fear of being labeled "not one with the ministry". |
Right. If it isn't enough to meet on the ground of oneness because you also must be one with a ministry, it seems two onenesses are required. Two onenesses seems absurd. I think only one oneness is possible. What they were advocating was twoness.
