Trapped, look at Colossians 4.15. It does use the phrase
"as well as" to make the distinction you noted. What I quoted from Post #2, rightly notes that these verses require assumptions to fit the OCOC model.
This is why the FTT is required for all new members. Lee/LSM always wanted us to "get into the ministry" first, before studying the Bible. Once your mind is convinced that the Bible demands OCOC, then these assumptions fall in place as if scripture demands it.
