1. Engagement with culture
from a thoroughly Christian perspective.
2. A life-focus, both individually and in communion with
others, to glorify God.
3. A nuanced knowledge
of the Bible which involves a hierarchy
of doctrines, a commitment to the Bible’s final, infallible authority, and a profound respect for others who may disagree with
our fallible interpretation.
4. Progressive submission
of all aspects of one’s life to the
lordship of Christ, including character, beliefs, and behavior.
5. A transferable
life, a desire not just to communicate truth, but truth as it bears fruit
in one’s life, to others.
6. A willingness to get
outside one’s comfort zone for the sake of the gospel. In part, this requires a willingness to grow
the church God’s way and to recognize its essentially heterogenous nature.
7. A commitment to be personally
involved with others. The
transferred life must be an accountable life on the most intimate, godly
levels.
8. A leader must be vulnerable,
humble, tolerant.
