How do you identify yourself?

[Herald]

So much of this is essentially meaningless. The Reformation was a big step forward for Christ's church, but to get hung up on nuances of interpretation from that period of time, to the point where it affects how you look at other people and the sincerity of their faith is counterproductive to the mission and purpose of the church. Once individual identities get wrapped up in attempting to fill in the gaps in security in their own faith, fellowship gets broken when it shouldn't.

So, Jack, are you willing to accept known error into your church for the sake of "unity" or the supposed "mission and purpose of the church"?

In the fine tuning of doctrine, and the quest for doctrinal purity, I don't think you can put forth an argument that confirms everything you believe and teach to be error-free. The gospel is pretty clear, and that is intentional. Not everything else is. There is error in every church, but on this side of perfection, there always will be.

Wow. That is an incredible statement. So, outside of the Gospel, doctrines such as the Trinity, inspiration of scripture, inerrancy of scripture, the deity of Christ, God's omniscience, God's omnipresence, heaven, hell, et. al. are things are not clear? Not intentional? Thank you, Emergent Church, for post-modern theology that says nothing and means nothing.
