Do you still believe the doctrine after leaving?

I don't have a great dislike for the UPCI or anyone who has not dropped standards. I have great respect for anyone who holds to their convictions. However, when someone imposes their convictions upon me or even tells me I'm not even saved if I don't hold their convictions, I have a great dislike for that!

What of the ministers that don't think you're unsaved, but do think you are unwise (on whatever the given issues were). Just as you believe their position is unwise, right? Playing the DA on this one.

Church definitely needs balance. Some act like the teenager raised in a strict home, that at 18 years old they wig out into the far extreme of their newfound liberties. This has been my concern and pain for those who have left -- not that they aren't saved, but how far will that pendulum swing? This also causes me to re-examine these fences in the first place, and make sure they aren't the result of this.
