It is time that this devilish concept be buried!
This kind of teaching needs yet another new thread!
We don't need much encouragement to leave behind the sinful and worldy things (although the RELIGIOUS worldly things could get more focus in the Local Church, this is true.) Rather, the perversion of the story of Lot's wife and "pressing on" in Christ has justified all the damage to relationships with friends and family and brothers and sisters in Christ because this is how this teaching is most commonly applied in the Local Church.
The testimony of Scripture is that Christ bears His wounds in eternity and we are given to share in His suffereings with all joy.
Your religion's doctrine is in error and reveals its source in the absence of the real experiences of Christ.
