My point is that a romantic experience of Christ trumps everything else. Ephesus had it and lost it. Most who contribute to this site had such an experience as well.
Jacob had such an experience at Bethel, then he went off and had a romantic life experiencing God in ways both hidden and overt. He wrestled all night against him ... and fought him to a draw.
Too much criticism here of the LC experience is shortsighted, seeing only the negative side of such Jacobian struggles. I prefer to look at all these bends and crooks in the road as opportunities to have an all-night battle with God. I've lost them all but I cherish the scars.
(Note to God: I just making a rhetorical point here with some perhaps overly-zealous flourish. No need to reinforce past lessons.
