To place the word "unique" into the discussion is to imply that there is something special and focused and that is not found in the whole of the moving of God on the earth. It implies that it could be only found in a certain kind of outreach to the unsaved and not in other kinds.

But the accounts given by Paul would make a lie of that kind of thinking. He took every way that he could find to his benefit. He went to some places and just made tents and preached a little as he did. In others he made more robust speeches to the people in general. In one place he found a shrine to an unknown god and made hay out of it.

And when he discovered that some were even preaching the gospel in regions that would potentially cause his present captors to possibly give him a worse time in his imprisonment, he still commended them as preaching the gospel. Even if they did it to give him problems, it was the preaching of the gospel. There was no hint that any who were converted as a result of such preaching were deficient Christians that were not truly part of the body of Christ.

The truth is that the only "unique" in God's move is that it is God that is moving, not someone else. You use the terms as a pejorative to denigrate what others are dong because you think it is not "God's move" because it is not what you are doing. That suggests that God only speaks to, and moves in an infinitesimally small part of his body to the exclusion of all others.

But Christ/God moves in his people. We are all his people. He moves in more than some singular "move of God" as if it is only door knocking and baptizing people in their bath tubs at one point in time, and going to the campuses at another. And based on current LRC rhetoric, it is currently looking only for "good material' by ignoring the highways and byways and instead seeking only university students.
