I Don't Like The Terms Con and Lib!

I've seen this a lot the last few days, people talking about the Cons posting and about the Libs that have been here.

Enough!!

It's not about whether a person is a Conservative or a Liberal. It's about whether they're saved or unsaved, it's about whether they're going to heaven or going to hell!

Without holiness no man shall see the Lord! If you're not born again of the water and of the Spirit, you won't see the Kingdom of heaven! Stop making this about labels! It's all about whether we're going to obey God's Word or just explain it away!

I don't like the terms "oneness" and "trinity" but we continue to use them to pigeon hole Christians.

I don't like the terms "one-stepper" and "three-stepper" but we continue to use them to label Christians.

You can save your sarcasm, youre just the kind of person I'm talking about. You shouldn't be worried about your label, you should be worried about your eternity.

I don't quite agree with you. There aren't any Christians who are trinitarians, and there aren't any Christians who haven't obeyed Acts 2:38, brother.

Well, you are correct about the problematic usage of the labels "liberal" and "conservative" here. You, for example, are no "conservative."

A "conservative" treatment of both the Gospel and other believers would never involve the radical stance that you are projecting.

So... what you are suggesting is that rather than the terms con & lib we need to use saved & unsaved?
