All the law is FULLFILLED by two commandments; LOVE GOD, LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR. Please Charlie, please start listing the RULES THAT will enable me to properly apply that PRINCIPLE.
I submit...YOU CAN NOT. Because your rules do not know my heart, thus your applications can not safeguard MY HEART.
God is building his church within the individual hearts of men. We, as his bondservants, are mostly to aid in the safeguarding of the very young, the babes in Christ. I accept that to a babe you give ultra refined nurishment but growth will not continue for very long without letting them DIGEST their own food.
So Chuck, I respectfully disagree.
No human, serving as a bondservant of the Lord, can establish uniformity within the membership of God's own body, he and he alone does the work.

So the new convert who adopts decency and morality after a good cleansing of the Holy Ghost is wrong?
We have such a person- educated and hungry- attending our church. No one said anything and this person changed their whole closet and home due to feeling conviction.
