not clear your followers will not know what to do which opens the door for mistakes. I realized that I am the vessel and the Holy Spirit is the leader/teacher. Ministry can not be fully planned out. We do the physical scene/story and the Holy Spirit does the rest. Always be slow to speak and quick to listen to everyone. I am rendered speechless by how strong the Holy Spirit moves on this campus.

that of other major denominations of his day (i.e., Lutheran, Catholic), Wesley’s order of salvation was unique. Where most soteriology almost ignored the third person of the Trinity, much of Wesley’s salvation theory and practice emphasized the Holy Spirit. Another unique aspect was the progression a person would take through each stage of salvation. Once a stage was completed, so to speak, a person would not repeat or regress back to that stage.

Thirdly, in hebrew they do not use special pronouns; therefore, all of the possible translation Steinbeck offers are in invalid. However, the best option Steinbeck offered is for sure thou shalt.

Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Festival of Weeks (Pentecost), Feast of Trumpets, The Day of Atonement, and finally The Feast of Tabernacles make up these required holy observances.
