I caution against referring to “carnal” and “spiritual” as rigid categories or classes of Christians. The idea of a distinctive class or category implies a strict line of demarcation between one group of believers and another. It suggests there are readily identifiable stages in the Christian life into which one may enter if certain things are done or out of which one may fall if other things are done. Sanctification, however, is far too fluid for such strict categorization. In other words, sanctification is a process which, because of its constantly dynamic and progressive nature, defies rigid classifications.

MINISTRY SURVEY – A Form for
indicating my involvement in ministry

“So we, numerous as we are, are one body in Christ, the Messiah,
and individually we are parts one of another – mutually dependant on
one another.” – Romans 12:5

Please circle the number of any ministry in which you have an interest
or in which you are already involved. Circling a number does not
mean that you will be called constantly or that you must be available when
called; it simply means that, when available, you would like to be involved.
