I'm sorry that I've upset you with my response to your thread. I actually think that this is a great topic for discussion. You did ask, "Do you agree? If so why? If not why not?" So, I'm disagreeing and saying why not.
I'm sure that there are some, many, so-called "Christians" who are in church just going through the motions. Jesus referred to them as tares among the wheat that will be sifted out. My point was that we cannot really tell who is a tare and who is wheat by outward observation.
I would submit that the tares aren't really putting God in a box...but rather that they really don't believe in God, period.
As for actual born-again Christians, I don't know of any that really have "God in a box"...I truly don't know that. And, I've been a Christian for over 35 years now.
Everyone has different scopes of ministry and what's important. My mom would be one that one could easily think has put "God in a box"...she would have absolutely NO desire to attend what many would describe a "Spirit filled worship" service (ie...loud rock music). To her, church is this: Call to worship, sing a hymn, have a prayer, sing another hymn, read a passage from Scripture, sing a hymn while the collection plate is passed, Pastor (always male, NEVER female) sermon, prayer, sing hymn, benediction and dismissal, home for roast beef supper. This is the Orthodox Presbyterian order of worship...it happens in every OPC pretty much every Sunday and has for years.
But, if you have a prayer need, she'll be the one praying for you...and believe me, when my mom prays...things happen! Also, she loves to read God's word. She's not really open to the whole "new and improved" forms of worship...but her faith in God and strength in the word and in prayer is amazing.
I also know a woman who is a member of a church and never goes to worship on Sunday at all. Never. However, whenever there is a Vacation Bible School, she always helps out. She'll also bring a casserole if there is a funeral. One might think she has "God in a box"...but the thing is, her husband is a non-believer and works very long hours during the week and doesn't want to cut into family time by going to church...so they stay home. She prays for her husband daily and chooses to honor his wish for her to stay with him on Sunday morning. I support her in her decision. Her testimony is really an interesting one, and she fully clings to the promise that the unbelieving husband will be sanctified through the believing wife. She truly does trust in God...but isn't there Sunday mornings.
There are lots of folks whose testimonies can be similar to this. The thing about tares and wheat is that they look almost identical from the outside. Which was why in the parable, Jesus' point was to not try to separate them...but allow Him to winnow the tares out on judgment day.
(PS, I also went back and saw your testimony of healing. Great testimony!
