Content with the status quo, they do not realize what they fear is not a doctrine but the concept of change.

New pastors rising up willing to try new methodologies to promulgate an immutable gospel.

Organizational leaders, on state level as well as national so afraid of things like home churches, marketplace evangelism, the empowerment of the pew, that they condemn all as heresy rather than even contemplate dialogue.

Good post ...

And yet they speak of the ever-so-evasive REVIVAL ... been talking about it for years.

Now their existing structures are threatened and rather than dialogue ...they seek to disfellowship.
