I counter by saying that if you have a "doctrine" you want to state, you need to have a specific texts that you get the doctrine from. The burden of proof is on you to prove that what you stated is true.

I'll gurantee you that the Christ in your heart doesn't match the Christ in your mind.

I don’t have a problem with Easter, with sunrise services, hunting eggs after church, &c., as long as the kiddies are taught that those things like the bunny and egg don’t have anything to with Christianity.
Either we celebrate and commemorate the Lord's resurrection or we celebrate the fertility rites of a pagan goddess. If you try to mix them you loose track of what the day is about.
2 Cor 6:16-18
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
KJV
The problem, as I see it, is that participation in pagan fertility rites could possibly unknowingly compromise our witness with someone who has not yet learned not to approach life legalistically.
When we get saved we are immediately indwelt by the spirit of Christ. Then as we study we start to develop an image of Christ in our minds. That image of Christ is no where near the true image of Christ in our hearts.
So stone me for calling the image of Christ in our minds "another Christ". I don't know how else to put it.
But it to say there’s two Christs is blasphemous. What you posted in no way means there’s two Christs.
Paul is talking to saved Galatians who already have the Spirit of Christ in them yet he is trying to birth Christ in them... that Christ is the image of Christ in their minds.
[h=1]Galatians 4:19 King James Version (KJV)[/h][FONT="]19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,[/FONT]
I have never said that there were 2 literal Christs. I'm not stupid, I know there is only one Christ. I chose to call the the Christ in our minds the second Christ - not a literal 2nd Christ but figurative.

One problem with that we have "dominion" over animals not God or Jesus's names nor them at all.
This deals with progressive sanctification. As we mature in our walk with Him, we become more and more of His image.
