* CT's immediate ministry efforts are in the publication of literature, websites, and the ultimate publication of the CT Reference Bible wherein the above postulates will be expanded in commentary and linguistic commitment to the original languages in which the Canon of Scripture was written--primarily Hebrew and Greek.
- Vision – what do we see from Scripture? We see in CT God's Eternal Plan and Purpose - from Adam's Creation to the Holy City, New Jerusalem - is to call out an elect people from humanity to be His Holy People and Kingdom seen as a great multitude, yet a remnant, under the headship of Christ, the Messiah & King. A multiplicity of terms express the diversity and unity of His Purpose: The Temple of the Lord, the Household of Faith, the One New Man, the New Creation, the Body of Christ, One Olive Tree, the Kingdom of God, the United Kingdom of David/Tabernacle of David, the Ekklesia, the "Fullness of Christ" - the New Jerusalem, the Bride of Christ, the Israel of God and the Commonwealth of Israel. All, and more such terms, reflect and are wrought by the Person and Work of Christ--His salvation, His abundant Life in gathering such a people.
- Propagation - this message expressing His Ultimate Intention in salvation and inclusion into His One Body – is in sum the "Gospel of the Kingdom" & "those things concerning our Lord Jesus Christ" - this message is to be preached in all the world - i.e., "peace with God" (salvation) and "peace among His people" (unity) -- its manifestation in the present age is not abstract but by the Power of His Holy Spirit manifested on earth now. (Matt. 24:14; Rom. 16:31; Lu. 24:27). The Law (Torah) and the Prophets reveal Messiah's Person & Work (Lu. 24:27) as the King of Israel - both Son of God and Son of Man.
- All ministry, under the headship of Christ, should "equip the saints" in the expansion or building up of His One Body--"unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ" - all enmity between Jew and Gentile is, therefore, terminated bringing "peace through the blood of His cross" - although there abides the "wild" and "natural" branches; yet, there is but One Root which bore them - one Olive Tree. There is one New Covenant, one New Commandment which expresses and empowers the Almighty's commitment to sustain the Commonwealth of Israel. This Commonwealth is assured by our Lord's High Priestly prayer wherein His disciples are sustained by the Father's Life, the Son's Truth, expressed in Oneness and Glory by the Spirit. (John 17; Eph. 2, 4)
- Call to Action:
- Actively preaching this "Gospel of the Kingdom" to the world and displaying it in fellowship with all saints.*
- Equip and Gather His elect, today's Ekklesia, in ministry and environments where God's people share with one another the "riches of Christ" -
- Team up with other ministries who celebrate and propagate the message of His salvation and the Oneness of His People as described in #1. (Phil. 1:27)
