| Feb 4 at 17:09 | comment | added | Anne | Thank-you. It was a lovely lady in a local Church of the Nazarene who was used of the Lord to help get me away from the grips of a pseudo-Christian group. I went with her to one of their services. I know they are firmly Trinitarian. A booklet of theirs says they began in 1895, out of the 'Holiness' revival in Methodism. Also, that the atonement is for the whole human race and whoever repents and believes on Christ is saved; they have 'representative' church governance; believers are identified with the church but are saved by faith first. But see my answer. | |

| Feb 4 at 13:56 | comment | added | Anne | This is an interesting Q because if Christ's death applies to the Church, which is made up of millions / billions of individuals, then how can it be possible to claim that it does not apply to individuals directly? All those who make up the spiritual 'body' of Christ, his Church, are directly 'joined' to him, whether or not they are on the membership role of any Christian denomination. I've never heard of this 'Governmental' theory of atonement. Can you identify for us some denominations that hold to it, please? | |
