The kind of men of The Gospel & of the Kingdom

The gospel of the kingdom produces Christ in people's lives and makes them less worldly. It transforms hearts and minds into the character of Christ.
It involves foundational doctrines like faith, repentance, baptisms, etc. But it also leads people beyond the elementary into deeper spiritual maturity, learning to hear God's voice and follow the Spirit's leading.
Ministers should focus on the fruit of their labors - are people becoming more like Jesus? Do they hunger for God's word and his presence? The kingdom is evidenced by transformed lives.
There was discussion around ensuring the gospel message remains pure, not mixed with worldly ideas or practices. The boundaries were discussed such as not falling into deliverance rituals, prosperity teachings, etc.
Knowing the Scripture is vital, but experiencing its truth is also key. We learn doctrines to come into spiritual maturity and a deeper walk with Christ.
Overall, the kingdom produces people who live for God's will above their own ambitions. It raises us above worldliness into laying down our lives for God's purposes.
