KitKat :
In grace, it is not a personal scheme, and the believer’s curriculum is not a collection of content specifically designed around their individual destiny. Scripture does not support that way of thinking, regardless of which direction you approach it from. If you look at it from the perspective of salvation, salvation is not a personal scheme. It is a provision made available to all humanity. The Gospel is continually preached so that, irrespective of a person’s background, level of exposure, or natural limitations, they can encounter the message of salvation and respond to it. If you approach it from the perspective of spiritual growth and ministry, it is still not a personal scheme. Christianity is historical and apostolic. It is not built upon our individual experiences with the supernatural as though each believer receives a private revelation that becomes their standard for truth. Our experiences must therefore be examined in light of the written testimony we have received through Scripture, the foundational apostles, and the pattern of the early Church. So while God may deal with individuals in different circumstances and give people different areas of service within the body of Christ, that does not mean God gives each believer a private body of truth or a personalized theological curriculum like paying of tithe. The Gospel is common. The apostolic foundation is common. Scripture is the common standard. Our individual experiences and assignments exist within that framework, not above it.
