Plan A relies on Acts as the inspired account of how the Great Commission was implemented after the promised Holy Spirit came at Pentecost. Acts demonstrates the post-Pentecost mission strategy, and the epistles of the New Testament further describe this strategy. The historical event of Acts can’t be replicated, but the distinctives of the Acts discipleship pattern should shape and correct our mission strategies.
Plan A confronts and corrects the way we usually understand evangelism, discipleship, and church planting. Plan A exposes prideful attempts to improve on the original Great Commission strategy, and our faulty biblical interpretation of applying pre-Pentecost concepts to post-Pentecost discipleship. It will also challenge us to evaluate our complicated modern methods of discipleship in light of the radical simplicity of first-century ones.
