Now, I am willing to get dirty to win a sinner but I don't have any respect for false doctrine. This may sound harsh but I don't see much different between a Charismatic and a Catholic. I believe both are in false doctrine and while I may be willing to go out of the way to reach unchurched sinners I will not subject our saints to false doctrine. Would you fellowship your church with a Muslim church? I don't think you would. Why? Because you believe totally different things and that's how I feel about fellowshipping with liberals.
Let me put a disclaimer on this. I am speaking mainly of ministry. It's not the congrgation of the other churches that I don't respect, it's the ministry that is leading that church.

You identify those who disagree with you and refuse to fellowship with them and then there are millions who believe you are in false doctrine. So, folks polarize and refuse to acknowledge one another's common identity in Christ. Was the Church the Body of Christ in the first century even though doctrine wasn't fully developed? If so, what placed them there. It wasn't there doctrinal position.
