Oregon,
I also believe there is a wonderful reality of the church-life where the Lord can move in and among his people. I'm experiencing it right now where I meet and among the believers I know. But tell me, what does that necessarily have to do with the
local ground teaching? That's a genuine question.
As to being a crank, do you know what the word means? It means an eccentric person who is overly enthusiastic for a questionable idea. Like, for example, someone who won't stop talking about the universal benefits of barley fiber, or mother ships, or a flat tax, or something. To me, any Christian teaching which at this late date is only accepted by .0024% of Christians and by no reputable theologians is automatically very questionable.
You've heard the definition of a fanatic, right?
Someone who won't change his mind and won't change the subject. Gosh, I admitted I'd been a crank, the least you could do is admit you've been one, too. Every local churcher has been one. Why do you think they get regularly accused of being in a cult?
I'm not casting aspersions. I really believe that. And I believe the sooner you believe it the happier you will be. Take it for what it's worth. May be none of my business, but this is a public forum.
