Union and Communion With Christ: Clarifying Our Theological Vision

This essay clarifies terms used in Grace Communion International to describe the salvation we have been given in Christ. Particularly important are the phrases "All are included," "union [and communion] with Christ," and "vicarious humanity of Christ." Although the original context is the way that GCI pastors used the phrases, the discussion is a clarification of what incarnational, Trinitarian theology teaches about the scope of the salvation work done by Christ and by the Holy Spirit.
