Humility in Application

  • Be willing to change; Bible critiques us.

  • Rules: Text can’t mean what it never meant; same particulars = same application.

  • Application can’t contradict NT elsewhere.

  • Avoid extremes (over/underspiritualize).

Application Process

  • Bridge gap: Comparable particulars vs. cultural customs (e.g., holy kiss = handshake).

  • Specific to general principles.

Problems

  • Particularizing: Over-apply specifics.

  • Generalizing: Ignore details.

  • Misgrouping: Too few/many texts, wrong combos.

Questions

  • If people switched to this doctrine/practice how would it affect their lives?
  • If a church switched to this doctrine/practice how would they implement it?
  • If a group of churches switched to this doctrine/practice, what would the implications be?
  • Are there any challenges with getting along with other Christians, the government, or other institutions?
  • Revise the doctrine/practice accordingly
