Legalists have to label people or else they lose their relgious superiority. Look how they throw around the word charismatic. It's the equivilent of a racial slur. I know one upc minister who has baptized more people in Jesus name than most churches in his district combined. Yet he is labeled charismatic because he doesn't preach a ''dress code''.
It's a shame people require labels. I tell people I'm an athiest that's not taking any chances. Try labelling that one.
