I in fact respect you tremendously when it comes to your heart.

Thanks, Brian.

But, yes, I do think you're misguided in your mind.

LOL

Seriously, I disagree with you on many of the issues of doctrine, but that doesn't mean (speaking for myself of course) that I'm going to view your heart or character negatively.

Does that make sense?

Yes, that makes sense. We both have different understandings of what it means to walk the walk. Our understandings arise in no small part out of who we are--our experiences, what we have learned, and the gifts and inclinations with which we were born.

Its OK to disagree. Its OK to believe, in the privacy of one's own heart, that our way is the *only* way of thinking/believing. But I think it is not OK to tell another he/she has failed the Christianity test simply because he/she has different beliefs/opinions.

peace and love,
