Cecil Hooks – “Free As Sons” – Chapter 20, ACCORDING
TO THE PATTERN
Patternism is another facet of legalism, a seeking to find holy, sacramental rituals
through which we maintain righteousness and an official, mediatorial organization through
which we work our righteousness, and by which we are kept in controlled conformity. It
encroaches on our individual freedom in serving God. It would make our individual relationship with God dependent upon an
organizational relationship. Disciples are parts of the community of believers, but that
fellowship is not an organization.
