(Note: I am writing these attributes exactly as I wrote them when they came from the Holy Spirit, from the asterisks to the references. The reference came later & the full meaning.)
Does this mean someone is being saved everyday? No. That is why I put the note. It does mean that people are being saved. Wherever the Holy Spirit is operating, people will not be able to remain unchanged. They will have to leave or change. Sin will never be comfortable in the Presence of God.
It also means that the church is mission minded and the growth is sought from lost people coming into the Kingdom. When Luke wrote in Acts 2:47, "...added to the church...," he meant the Body, the Kingdom, etc., not church membership forth sake of numbers.
It simply means that the mission of the local Ecclesia is the same as Jesus' mission since we are His body, i.e., "...to seek and to save that which was lost. (Luke 19:10 NKJV)."
This goes with #1 in that here they come into the Kingdom, then they are sent back out into the harvest to bring the Kingdom to others. This begins from the beginning, not after a specific call, on a one on one personal basis in whatever sphere of influence the individual functions in.
Go warriors,
