It goes both ways. I know and speak from experience.

Yes, I was not disputing anything about things going "both ways" and I, too, speak from experience.
I wasn't speaking about those who talk about love, grace, and mercy...I mentioned the "love" chapter to say that there sometimes is so much emphasis on doctrine and not enough love. (not just in preachers, but church members).
Doctrine for doctrine's sake without the love, grace and mercy doesn't mean anything. All of the grace, mercy, and love without sound doctrine doesn't mean anything either. I agree it goes both ways.
