The gospel is the great equalizer in that it is available to all. It is also the great enabler in that it is sufficient to empower and transform all who receive it.  There is no distinction of people within the Kingdom in terms of class or type of spirituality - we all receive the same salvation from the same Savior through the same process. The New Testament speaks of this salvation as being absolutely sufficient to fulfill its work within all of us!
