In fact, UBF has always wanted to be "more than christianity", "better than christianity", "beyond christianity", "super christianity", a "christian minority (*)", a "remnant". They have always derided "old Christians."

Sam Lee clearly expressed UBF's vision of "super-christianity" this way, "Believing in Jesus is not enough. Believing in Jesus is not enough. you must have a vision for yourself and your nation." Genesis 12:2 (yourself as blessing) is studied first and emphasized much more than John 3:16 (Christ as blessing).

(*) There is irony in the fact that UBF members want to be considered "fellow christians" but consider themselves to be a "minority" in Christianity.
