Believing that Christ was crucified means believing in a world where we are sinners, via original sin and subsequent acts, and need forgiveness and salvation to be granted to us by an all-powerful God who has the power to either reward us, or sentence us to eternal punishment if we don't behave properly. Believing in Christ Triumphant, who did not want to promote the reward-punishment notion of God, enables us to free ourselves from self-imposed limits and get started on the journey to realizing that we are powerful eternal spirits who co-create what we experience, and that we can enjoy all sorts of wonderful, positive realities and experiences without end.
