Christian traditions & movements
Reformed / Calvinist
The issue here is not a foreign doctrine placed over Christ but proportion: some true emphases become so dense that other parts of the image recede.

ONE TRUTH COVERS THE REST — AND THAT SKEWS THE TEACHING.
PLATE REGISTRATION: SHIFTEDUp to 3px of drift: the inks are present but no longer meet — the image loses focus and breaks into coloured edges.
PRACTICE-BASED READING
What actually comes off the press
Two true plates are printed very heavily: kingship / sovereignty and divine initiative. Humanity / response is lighter, and the gold plate is weak in cessationist forms.
The reading compares observable congregational life with the apostolic church in Acts. A stated doctrine alone does not raise an ink when the corresponding practice is not visible.Ink density against the reference
100% is the reference density. Below 100% the ink weakens; above 100% it begins to cover the others. This is more precise than an abstract 1–5 scale.

The colours show observed emphasis against the apostolic church in Acts — not a claim about anyone's salvation. Stated doctrine and lived practice may produce different readings.
