Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns

[Peacemaker]

CC1 that's the meat of where we disagree. Viewing something you disagree with as a closed culture is an opinion that anyone believing in a similar fashion will hold. I contest the view that because we have views that are different from yours does not make us a closed culture. Clearly even in a supposedly open culture like Swaggarts AG church, there were many blind loyalists. Having a belief in our type of standards does not mean that we are a closed culture or more likely to be blindly loyal. Those are simply unrelated. What SHOULD be the case is that neither of us or "our groups" would be willing to follow failed leadership, because of a deep desire for righteousness in our spirits.
