Most students coming into the study already have an idea of what a Christian is, and whether they are one. But after presenting the ICC’s concept of discipleship, the Discipleship Study will ask recruits “Are you a disciple?” Most students will answer that they’re not disciples – not Christians – sometimes to their own surprise. (The ICC teaches study leaders to use the Disciple=Christian=saved equation as basis for a damning logic chain: if recruits aren’t doing what the ICC defines a disciple to do, then they’re not Christians, and they’re not saved.) In truth, the way the Discipleship Study is presented, it would be a surprise if any student would be considered a disciple by the ICC. Dan Conner, leading a New York “equipping class” on how to teach the studies, outlines just one impossible standard of the Discipleship Study: “If someone’s not denying himself every single day. If someone’s not asking himself the question, ‘Okay, what would Jesus do’ and if his [own] will goes against it, saying, ‘...I’m going to do what Jesus wants.’ If someone’s not living that way every single day, is that person living the life of a disciple? No. So is that person a Christian? No. So is that person saved? No.” Dan Conner (Geographic Sector Leader), Discipleship, Equipping Classes for Men, icoc.cc, New York, 1996. Actually, Conner here uses a fallacy of argumentation called Argument by Demanding Impossible Perfection. It will always be possible to argue that a student didn’t deny himself every day or give up everything for God. If ICC study leaders raise the bar high enough, no incoming students will ever qualify as “disciples.”
