The concept of getting and training disciples was hardly or rarely mentioned.



As I recall how we were . . . getting disciples of our own was actually taught against.

We thought in terms that new converts immediately became disciples of Jesus , never of another human being.
We expected that God Himself was actively in their lives discipling them daily in the Word and in the school of trials.

{{{ For Marylin's benefit -> what we called the school of trials was our belief that God would tailor-make tests (trials)
in our lives wherein He would allow the devil to attack us in some way. As we faithfully overcame ( there is that
"overcome in all things" idea ) the test/trial we would learn spiritual lessons - maybe patience, stronger faith, the need
for more holiness, etc. We believed that God was discipling each of us Himself, One on one tutoring, the Holy Spirit
within each of us - through the use of these trials/tests }}}


Then we expected that the 5-fold gift of teaching would instruct us in the Scriptures. New converts would
listen to many, many audio tapes as they learned the various topics.



=============================================

Btw: John the Baptist was before Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came to indwell the believers.
Believers now should have the Holy Spirit within which enables the school of trials
- see John 14:26 <- this was future tense to John the Baptist

Recommended: No faith stands that strongly impact our (our children's) lives until we figure out
why the signs and wonders are missing. Something is wrong.
