Words are for This World
Those in the various disciplines usually develop a lingo to keep other people out. Also, I find it quite amusing that everyone believes their own salvations, if only in a slightly different manner. They often get upset, even if only internally, if they think someone has a slightly different view than theirs. In fact, the pressure is so great that they just as often seem to differ with another's views even when both views agree.
This is because, I think, they are basically deep down trying to persuade themselves. There is no accounting for all the different views people have and another reason could be our variety in the means of communication. Everyone are inside themselves thinking everyone else is understanding.
Vocabulary is the culprit. Words are powerful but are just not the most accurate way to communicate. Spiritually, is the best, the quickest way to communicate. I think is easily seen that, Wait, wait, oh oh, oh no. Many people are not fully aware of spirit, even if they say they are.
Jesus spoke often spiritually, although not metaphorically. Words require the hearer to interject much of themselves into their reading. What we hear tells more about ourselves than those whom we are talking about. Forgiveness is for the benefit of the forgiver.
