Pretty good list. A few comments:

Allegorizing. This is an interesting point. Nee and Lee were fans of the idea. They used it more than the NT writers did themselves.

And this is even a problem in reverse. If things were allegories, metaphors, etc., they sometimes tried to make them into facts. (And many Christian writers of all kind do this.) The most common place is with Revelation. A book of pictures and metaphors constantly understood as literal.

Rapture and Dispensational Issues. Popular ideas of the last 200 years that were never thought of in these ways in the 1,800 years prior. Not saying there couldn't be anything true about them. But they are too vaguely embedded in parables and metaphorical writings to generate the kinds of certainty that are being taught. If anything, the whole purpose was to instill the idea that we need to be ready, not to spend time trying to figure out how literal the words might or might not be.

Gap Theory. While I have little use for claims of certainty on this idea, I am fairly certain that from the beginnings of creation until the appearance of man, and the events up to the flood are likely to have involved much more significant amounts of time than the 6 days and the limited number of years recorded in Genesis. The detailed chronology of creation was not its purpose and therefore I have no problem with this. As for a pre-Adamic race that was destroyed, I cannot say, but I have reasonable skepticism about it.

But there is one question. You seem to have been warned about the LC early in your stay there and rather consistently used "unapproved" sources and methods in your study, yet stayed around long enough to have that many things to disagree with. If I had started seeing many errors like that, I would have moved on before the list got that long. Something made you want to stay. What was it? You indicate that there was nowhere else to go. Was this because you were influenced by the notion that the LC gives of "nowhere else to go," or was it that isolated a place with truly nowhere else?
