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
