ZNP, this has been my experience as well. Mutually at a SBC church and at the community church I currently meet with. There's no need to emphasize the ground of the church in order to receive all believers. Perhaps once you do need to emphasize the ground of the church is an indication of a lack. Much more than focusing on doctrinal truths, there is the need of first having a right heart.
