I'm not too worried for you though, you seem like the type to give it as well as you take it!

I've often thought this would be a major sticking point because to admit such would mean since one followed a stranger, they would not be of Christ.
John 10:4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5 A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.
