1Therefore, leaving the elementary message about the Messiah, let us go on to maturity
Scripture says that we will do this
if God permits. How strange is that? I am struck by how our churches are reflected in this verse (Heb6:1), and our Christians; whether OP or not, we have Christian leaders of 20+ years espousing
Acts 2:38, or whatever their sect's "elementary message" is. I am reminded of 12 step meetings, for some weird reason, where you can never hear more than the first 3 steps. Not that any of these things is "bad," this may be their entire purpose--but the early Church was different. But then we are not in the early Church, and i'm not sure that we should be trying to be.
11And each person will not teach his fellow citizen, and each his brother, saying, "Know the Lord," because they will all know Me, from the least to the greatest of them.
Now i would argue that "Love one another" is the plan, but i might be just agreeing with you, essentially; there is no special ritual to accepting Christ, iow.
13For the One these things are spoken about belonged to a different tribe. No one from it has served at the altar. (Jesus did not come from Levi)
