I. The Theological Question

The question is not whether “Happiness Group”–style evangelism is right or wrong.

The question is structural:

Does the method preserve the gospel’s internal tensions, or does it collapse them?

Biblical Tension Theology insists that every ecclesial method must be evaluated according to whether it sustains the divinely revealed dual-line structure of the gospel:

• Cross and comfort
• Regeneration and decision
• Church incorporation and event response
• Love and truth
• Means and ends

A method is not judged by numerical success, but by structural fidelity.

II. The Primary Tension: Means and Ends

At the methodological level, this model belongs primarily to the category:

Means ↔ Ends

A healthy structure:

Means → serve → Gospel End

A collapsed structure:

Means → replace → Gospel End

Whenever the evangelistic mechanism becomes self-validating — measured by attendance, emotional atmosphere, or visible decisions — it risks displacing the very gospel it claims to serve.
