Dr. Pentecost demonstrates that discipleship is a growing experience of knowledge, commitment, active love, and service. 'There is a vast difference between being saved and being a disciple, ... a relationship based on the knowledge of the person of Christ, submission to to the person of Jesus Christ, and obedience to the commands of Jesus Christ.' Dr. Pentecost observes. 'Our desire in these studies of the New Testament teaching on discipleship is to unsettle you who have become so comfortable, to disquiet you who have become so satisfied, in order that we might become a people who. . . are disciples in truth.'
