Let's not overly disparage LCers . . . God shed His blood for them as well. Are their warts bigger? Perhaps, but we could go round and round trying to ascertain the exact degree of all that (and we do on this forum)! Theology and practice doesn't make anybody one. Shoot, I've heard incredible, living, Christ-centered things spoke by Roman Church people! And they definitely have some warts going on . . .
Personally, I would not exclude the LC either, as they're definitely members of the body of Christ. But my vision of the body has grown far beyond the exclusive view that I had while part of the LC. If the LC was the only Christian group in town, I wouldn't be afraid of meeting with them (at least occasionally).
