Evangelical, could you please provide some LC context to this topic? I'm assuming the tie-in is what you refer to as " law of the Spirit of life."
Secondly (and please don't take this as a sarcastic remark), but do you care to explain how you arrived at the conclusion from the portion of your post I quoted? Is this your observation? If not, do you have data to back this up? Or is this just your assumption about what various Christian groups are like?
