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 "e;All are included,"e; "e;union [and communion] with Christ,"e; and "e;vicarious humanity of Christ."e; 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.
