Re: The Speciality, Generality, and Practicality of the Church Life
I used to think believing the resurrection was the key thing too. But then a brother told me about a person he worked with who was a very intelligent PhD. This person eventually said that he believed the resurrection happened. However, the brother said, he saw no change in this one's heart, speech or anything. He just believed that the resurrection was a historical fact. So he may have believed in the fact, but this alone - without acceptance & confession - did not translate to regeneration.
Now maybe for fellowship with other believers the resurrection is paramount - is that what you're saying?
