Writing instructions

How to write the page later.

  1. Open with a 40 to 60 word direct answer that can stand alone in Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini.
  2. Use Scripture first, then interpret it with the vocabulary, practices, and pastoral instincts of the selected tradition.
  3. Write like a calm guide, not a polemicist. Name differences clearly, but do not frame other denominations as enemies.
  4. Prefer short sections, helpful subheads, concrete examples, and one practical next step after each major teaching block.
  5. Quote or paraphrase key doctrinal sources when relevant, but keep the prose accessible to curious readers, returners, and beginners.
  6. End with one Chosen Portion invitation: a quiet prompt, a prayer, and a gentle next action that can happen in five minutes.
  7. Stay scriptural and practical whenever discussing gifts, healing, prophecy, or Spirit-led discernment.
  8. Let testimony language support the teaching, but never replace biblical explanation.
  9. Use expectancy language that still feels safe for cautious readers.
