And that's the way the "bashings" start.

If folks want to add stuff to what's essential, that's their call. But if we all agree on the essential (Jesus Christ crucified and risen), then we all have something in common to celebrate.

When Jehovah's Witnesses come to my door, I tell them that I am already a believer and a member of a church. But I tell them, "God bless you for going door to door for Him when you could be sitting at home watching TV."

I don't have to be the same denomination as someone to love them in Christ, and support them in their work for God.

What we believers on the Campfire need to do is to go feed the homeless together or do some other work for the Lord... that will bind us together pretty quickly, and no one will want to argue theology.
