Sure. Valid point, and I agree many are sincere. However, I fear for many who are stuck in their ways, will not admit when they are wrong, for the sake of tradition, or close their eyes and ears to prevent having to change the way things have always been done. I'm not saying these people are lost, I'm just saying many are teaching phariseical and legalistic standards, and upholding tradition- under the banner of "The Old Paths" and resisting a full NT, apostolic restoration. It's not enough to just have a restoration of Biblical salvation, we need a restoration of church structure, how/which holiness standards should be taught, and how we should model ourselves closer to the apostles.
GOD BLESS!
