First the call. Then the going forth. After that the consecration.. Then Water and Spirit Baptism. Then comes the Sanctification process.
Application.. 'be doers of the Word and not only hearers'.
This is the difficult part. Living among nice Gentiles is okay. If they are not believers, they are still human and they have a form of 'common courtesy' which is even appreciated by themselves. But for those who are non believers and who are without common courtesy, to live among, is the road of Sanctification.
A very mis-handled 'rumor' is that U.S. citizens, mainly the caucasions, are nice and hospitable.. not with their private homes, but with common areas, which is shared by many. They are rumored to be hospitable, to be friendly and to be extending. They do not step, intentionally, on another person's toes. And if their toes are stepped on, they desire a certain kind of 'common courtesy' apology. Which is very fine. Believer or not, they have this 'common courtesy', or so it was rumored.
The U.S. citizens of today, even the Caucasions, are now beginning to be as all the others. They have accepted every culture, every faith, every lifestyle and they have forgotten who they were. For a pretense of remaining within their hospitality, they are now beginning to step on the toes of those of who they were as, at one time.
But as time goes on, traditional caucasions become Modern caucasions. The U.S. is only 231 years 'old'.
