Emerging paradigm

According to Marcus Borg in his excellent book The Heart of Christianity, I am part of an emerging paradigm and "believers" are part of an earlier paradigm. The difference is that what is important to me is a transformed life, which seems to me to be exactly what Jesus was talking about. Instead of "believing" something, we should "be" something ... persons who LOVE. When I become a changed (transformed) person, I will be loving as Jesus "commanded" (though I think that word has unfortunate connotations).
