There are obviously those around us who are Christians based on the fruit of the Spirit and gifts of the Spirit in their lives but they do not preach the dress code and preach that all who are not baptized in Jesus' name and do not speak with tongues are going to hell.

I don't think I have ever really doubted that myself, Sam. I see Christ in some who are far more conservative than I, and also in others who are more permissive or liberal than I am.
