Evangelical's (and the LCM's) attitude is in fact judgmentalism. It is not presented in spirit of love or care, even for oneness, let alone people. I get no sense of their being heartbroken for oneness, just of cold legalism. I'm reminded of these words of Jesus:
"The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach." Matt 23:2-3.
Evangelical is sometimes "right" in letter. But he is almost always wrong in spirit. His grasp of oneness is superficial and according to law, not according to the actual spirit of what oneness is. True oneness can never be the fruit of such an approach.
