When you deal with the unadulterated facts of scripture you need to understand that christianity has so many generalities in the understanding of it that you must divide that to get to what scripture is even talking about or declaring to the believer.

What is a generality of scripture? It is when wording and words and the way something is presented becomes less of a factor in what you receive from actual fact or meaning.

We can use the term as an example; 'In Christ.' In Christ is a term that is either thrown around to where it really means nothing to a believer as well as a non-believer and has no impact.

Another would be the term; 'born again.' if you watch those that want to impress a group such as say a christian group they will use the term born again. Our best politicians are professionals at reaching groups. Not to say some are not born again, but because of it being thrown around in a general way all is lost or the true meaning is not given or brought out and it becomes a general statement. So when you're favorite politician stands up and declares something like 'born again' it means nothing, it may appeal to your senses but it means nothing. No generality means anything. If you cannot give a factual understanding of a statement you make, it means nothing.

Point being; there is alot of generalities in christianity that will need you to divide to have a proper understanding if you take what is being said as gospel.
