Missional church is the group of believers that have centered everything they do to fullfiling God’s command of discipling or reconciling the world with Him. They understand that the resources, gifts, talents are used for that purpose alone. Making disciples implies evangelizing, equiping the new believer with God’s word to give them roots in the Gospel, and teaching them to use their God given gifts and talents to take the mission to the ends of the earth. A missional church is people working as one with one sole purpose in mind…reach every soul with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The belief of evangelical Gnosticism definately affects the fullfilment of the mission in that there is no need of repentance in the people. They have a different belief in God, nature of the world and salvation. It is hard to reach a person with a message of forgiveness when they don’t think they have done wrong.

An aspect of the Reformation legacy that stands to me the most is the accesibility to the Bible. Having it available in many languages has truly made a way to the preaching of the gospel to all the nations.

I think that a practical implication of the priesthood of all believers is the accountability it puts on all of us to fullfill God’s mission. Because we all have equal access to His Presence and have equal potential to minister God. Therefore we can all testify and reach others.

For the sake of debate…how will we know as a church if we are accomplishing the mission if we don’t set goals? I believe Jesus set goals to the disciples when He said to reach Jerusalem, then Samaria, then the ends of the earth.
