In religion everything is a feeling because it is a outer doing of something to make it happen. In spirituality - it is a KNOWING - an understanding and above all get understanding the scriptures say because it is what will mold and make the mind to know. One of the greatest scriptures for moving in God is John 14: 20, in that day you shall know. You know something and what you know does not make a person better in their creation over another person - we are all in the image and likeness of God. What it does is make a person better off. How is a person better off in their creation and in the world? Their established in the things of God, nolonger tossed to and fro but growing into what God's intention for a human being is. And as we witness in the body of Christ it is a process until Christ be formed in you'.

Christ' in you.

Seems logical enough in scripture to lead a believer by their understanding and that is what happens we are all led by what we know. What do I mean by that? What you know is how you are led - that is good news because you will not have to know everything about everything for God to lead you - do your home work if you will and be led but at the same time don't get to hung up on your religion because it will change - it is supposed to as you GROW.

So how does body ministry work? By you gaining Knowledge according to the way you are led and giving to the body what it is you know. You can trust that the 'knowledge of good and evil will fit that bill.' But that is the only way you can be led because you are growing and there will be growing pains as well. I'm not saying the knowledge of good and evil is the answer - what I'm saying is that is the knowledge that God is working through to get me to see the greater knowing (revelation knowledge - which is Spirit taught Knowledge) of 'Christ in you the hope of glory.'

So we can come to the understanding in God and say with scripture "it is nolonger I that lives but Christ in me is the life - pertaining to all life and Knowledge. The wisdom of God is the person of 'Christ in you'. So you gain the person (in my understanding I gain the person in mind - in knowing - he is already complete in spirit I just don't KNOW it) not just words but life and Knowledge, the knowing of the greater God understanding by the scriptures that put Knowledge in the form of a person 'Christ' in you the hope of glory.'

Why not just words? Because we have a witness that all men will have words but words do not make wisdom - you ever hear those that sounds real smart and we think they are full of wisdom - what most have is riddles - poems - a point here and a point there. But you cannot witness from their words that what they say have life because the life is the person of Christ in you and to us (the born again) that is the wisdom of God - it is foolishness to the world and those that believe but have not received the witness of the wisdom of God as of yet.

So how do we handle each other? Patience - we are patient because you cannot pressure wisdom, it is a process in the 'molding and making of a son.' Wisdom shines through! Then can we understand the levels of understanding a believer is led into to see wisdom.

12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. - 1 John 2:12-14.

Bless you.

I would say salvation is a growing relationship, out of which good works can come.

Religion is about works attempting to build a relationship. See what I did God? Now you have to approve me...I deserve it! :)
I see that in Cain and Abel.
God did not have respect to Cain's offering, because God is not a repector of persons to begin with.

Abel's offering came from his heart, while Cain's came from expecting in return.

Great topic
Thank You
