MISLED:
1. Fanatics - One who is close minded and uses one line argument, jabby
and reverses the question when can't answer, arrogant, not too sharp, don't
question/contend just follow, no sense of logic, monkey say monkey do attitude.
(the likes of jeri).
2. Shaky - One who is looking for excuse to exit out, does not care about the doctrine, goes to church when feels like it, follow along, questions/contend every chance he gets.
3. Open - One who studies other beliefs, validate own/other's, willing to argue the points, sincere, respectfull, seeking knowledge, questions/contend if needed, willing to accept other belief if own belief is proven wrong.
4. Believer - One who speak of the doctrine exactly as taught, try to re-interpret verses to fit own doctrine, respect other doctrines but pre-judge their basis as invalid, questions/contend silently. (the likes of Ato, Glenn, Luke)
SIR:
No offense...
but what does this have to do with the Church at all? I think all churches have those categories of believers. I also think the description of a "fanatic" is a little harsh. So Misled, don't apply it only to the INC.
