Each of these groups use the same Bible but emphasize different aspects.

It just so happened that most of western Christianity was not familiar with the third inner life group teachings, so they seemed strange, different, even new. But actually they were not new teachings, just teachings that were less emphasized. So while a fundamentalist would draw out the facts and figures of a certain passage, and the pentecostal would draw out the outward miracles and works of power, the inner lifers would draw out the aspects of subjective experience.

Yeah, I just love how Lee would relate his move to Los Angeles as an aspect of subjective experience, when it was simply a matter of getting thrown out of Taipei for financial corruption.

So much for inner life teachings.
