Would You Do It?

I recently voluntarily left a church over major doctrinal differences concerning salvation, as well as some issues which I say at best are non-essentials, at worst are legalism.

The church members have appearently spoken with their pastor (or vice versa) and they want me to come and "explain" why I left in front of the whole church.

I am very confident about the things I left over, and have no issues dealing with questions, if I am indeed given an oppertunity to answer them (instead of being shouted down-I'm not getting involved in a carnal shouting match).

However, part of the reason I left quietly was because the things I preached already hit a boiling point, and I am not interested in or attempting to bring about disunity or a church split.

Those things said, my household members have received numberous text messages demanding an explaination why we left "the body".

I truly believe if the members listened to the things I said it would bring about some extremely controversial issues regarding pentecostal doctrine.
I do not at all wish to cause someone to backslide, and that is my biggest concern.
