Emmanuel experience can never be a private affair. God has pitched His tent among his people. It is both a blessing and a challenge. When God restores the integrity /righteousness as a free gift, it is an experience also of being clothed with garment of salvation/gladness. Since it is not a private joy, the tent expands. Since its God who dwells, there cannot be boundaries either. Whenever we fix limits to salvation, its a sign that we have never known the joy of salvation. Salvation limited to an elite group is an ideological salvation. That 'salvation' experienced is a surgical-action pleasant feeling on some built up emotions. They don't need an Emmanuel though they speak of God in thousand words.
