I think what is needed is to show this in a Scriptural way. Your use of "Zion" is not how many people think of and speak of Zion.
I'm using the word Zion in a spiritual way....to show how Zion (replacing the natural Zion) is another term for the New Jerusalem (the spiritual version of natural Jerusalem) A simple study (and some spiritual discernment) makes this evident)
If you mean this as a description of living a spiritual life, you can show that. If you mean this as a description of interacting in the celestial realm, you can show that. Or to clarify what you mean by "walking in Zion", and show this in the Bible.
It is both. We live a spiritual life by interacting in the celestial kingdom realm. Walking in the Spirit is a kingdom walk, or a walk in resurrection life. To be where He is. There are too many references that all relate to one another. But it takes spiritual understanding to see the links.
We are given the initial grace to be regenerated corporately into the Body of Christ. The Body of Christ is a corporate entity. To actually walk as Jesus walked requires the further step of entering PERSONALLY INTO Christ. So then those who seek to do wonders without having been admitted into the heavenly realm and a walk on that level and who defend their righteous standing because of an initial grace risk being shut out of the kingdom on judgment day...as in...go away I never KNEW you. (At least not in a PERSONAL way)Scripturally, if we are reborn, we are in Christ now. This is very plainly stated in the Bible, Romans 6 for one example. Do you disagree with that?
Much love!
There is a divine Binaty (duality) to consider...a two step process of salvation. Those who neglect the second step are also neglecting so great a salvation as is found by abiding IN Christ.
How many believers do you know that walk as Jesus walked...without sin? And yet scripturally speaking, we are told to abide in Him and walk like He walked. We need the grace power to do this that is only found at the throne of grace. Do we live at the throne of grace or do we need to go there? That is something each believer must PERSONALLY wrestle with.
