What is the best way to explain this concept called Subjective Christianity?
I'm gonna try to explain it to you using rock, paper, scissors.
The Rock represents the (Law), written in stone, what Moses brought down from the mountains.
The Rock breaks the Paper the (Spirit), but it is engulfed by Paper (The Word of God)
Rock - Written Law
1. Old Covenant Approach to God
2. Joseph Smith
3. Legalisms
4. Temple Rights, Priesthood
5. Certain Religiosity
Summarized:
"We believe all mankind may be saved by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel, by and through the atonement of Christ"
Paper - Word of God
1. Is The written word of God
2. New Testament Approach to God
3. Chuck Smith - Christian man, established non-denominational church which is no Calvary Chapel which is pretty much denominational now.
4. Attempt at Objective Religion - We can take the word of God, and we can objectively practice religion using it's tenants.
5. Ist, Isms. This is the result of Calvinism, Arminianism, or whatever ist or ism. That can causes divisions.
6. Factions and sectarianism - Because of different beliefs because of division of ist and isms. Causing some to say this way is better, we are doing it right, that way is wrong you are in the wrong.
Summarized:
"Accepting our view of our view of biblical interpretation mandatory to be considered a saved christian, to make sure they are legitimate in their Faith."
The Spirit Cuts through the Word of God, and From what we have learned from the Word of God and What Jesus Christ has taught us we know we are to Love God to love others, so that may love triumph over everything in your life in Christ Jesus.
Religious traditions, are not our not primary and secondary objective on how we live the christian life.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Thank you for reading this, and I hope that it makes some sense to you, God bless.

Scissors - The Spirit
1. Spirit
2. The Holy Spirit Approach - where the holy spirit leads and guides a believer in God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and governs.
3. Subjective relationship with God through Christ.
4. Freedom in Christ Jesus to Love, God and Others.
Summarized:
The Spirit is primary and preferential
The Word of God is secondary, referential (We refer and look to understand what we are reading and what we are being taught)
Remember that the Scissors or the Spirit is broken by the Rock, and all of it's authorities and demands that is placed on a believer in Christ Jesus who has been set free of these burdens by the holy spirit (the Law kills the Spirit).1. Spirit
