Plus One Happy to be “Alive” in Christ Easily discouraged and might tend to confuse their emotions with spirituality May see themselves as more advanced in their faith than they really are. Attends church Plus Two A spiritual adolescent - Outspoken about their faith, dealing with emotional issues from the past - Struggling with various sins during the maturing process - Personal sinfulness will exist outside their own awareness Plus Three Emerging as a leader/Servant and growing in Christ - Plus Four Leads some type of group, whether official or unofficial - Consistently & Actively engaged in the Church Mission- Seen as an example - Strong Christian character - Words carry a great deal of weight when it comes to spiritual things Zero Someone who has just come to faith in Jesus Christ Plus Five A mature servant leader fully devoted to following Christ- Fully assimilated into a core group of believers - Involved in discipling others
