I have no problem with folks who follow their personal convictions. But when those convictions become a requirement for salvation, then we have a problem!

Tell me that you do whatever it is that you do because you feel that it is the right thing to do. But don't tell me that I'm lost unless I do it YOUR way! The LAST thing I want to do is to require more from folks than God does for their salvation. I'm fairly fearless and a "pioneer" type, but I ain't treadin' on that ground.

As we judge, we shall be judged. I want mercy! I need mercy! I had better extend mercy!
Think about it.
