From where I sit, my fellow Christians are doing all kinds of things I would not. That includes quite a few in the Mennonite / Anabaptist camp too. And some of them feel the same way about me.lesterb wrote:I don't doubt that there are many good individuals in these settings, and others. But how far can we go in calling them fellow Christians when they are part of a system that we would reject as being unbiblical? Is God going to judge us on whether we were nice people? Or whether we were obedient to clear teachings of the Bible?
I tend to agree with this post, yet I struggle with some of this. Churches like the EO, etc. disobey some pretty clear teachings of the Bible. Yet we say they are fellow Christians.
That makes me very reluctant to judge, but also reluctant to join in where Scriptural commands that seem clear to me are being violated. I will share how I understand things, but I'm quite confident that people I strongly disagree with will be worshipping God eternally in the final days.
