“The debate is important, for clearly discipleship is a foundational concept of the Christian life which dictates all that we are to be and much of what we are to be doing. If discipleship is becoming a Christian, as Lordship Salvation teaches, then the church must preach a gospel of commitment, surrender, and sacrifice as conditions of salvation, for these are the conditions of discipleship. To do less is to lead people to a false assurance of salvation. On the other hand, if discipleship is a commitment different from the salvation experience, as Free Grace proponents assert, then to teach a ‘costly’ salvation is to pervert the Gospel.” (Volume 5, Number 1, Page 37)
“In a progression of commitment, a disciple requires continual challenges or calls to become more of a disciple.” (Volume 5, Number 2, Page 36)
“This supports our understanding of discipleship as a direction or orientation, not a state.” (Volume 5, Number 2, Page 42)
“The other participles in Matthew, ‘baptizing’ and ‘teaching,’ tell how to ‘make disciples.’” (Volume 5, Number 1, Page 46)
“To be a disciple in the broadest sense is to be a follower or learner of Jesus Christ” (Volume 5, Number 1, Page 49)
