Is that being sectarian?

Evangelical, you are embarrassing yourself. In this section John is referring to "antichrists" (see verse 2:18). Why are you equating this to people that do not meet with your group?

So Luther was sectarian, and Calvin, and everyone else?
If we pretend that we are all in the same church, we are not sectarian, but if we point out the fact that we are not all in the same church, we are sectarian.
I thought it should be, if we are in a sect, we are sectarian, if we are in the true church, we are not.

Your group is not the "true church."
