This is a common argument from 3-steppers. "Follow the model" etc. The question I have is that Jesus was the flesh of God then why did he complete the three steps? He had to because He was still flesh. But He purchased our salvation on calvary. There is as much shown in the Bible for receiving Christ as there is three steps. I was a three stepper for a long time. The truth is that the three steps should be your goal, but I do not think God will ........ anyone if they did not complete them all, but I am not God.
