Converts vs Disciples

Converts change religions
Disciples change masters

Converts follow a system
Disciples follow a Person

Converts build Christendom (基督教世界)
Disciples build the Kingdom of God

Converts embrace rituals
Disciples embrace a way of life

Converts love the commandment to "baptize them" the Great Commission, but that is all
Disciples baptize others but only in the context of "teaching them to observe all that I commanded you"

Converts love conversion
Disciples love transformation
