Their message can be summed up with....
"Come over to our side. We'll let you do more without fussing at you. We'll just teach the "fundamentals" of the faith.
Just don't pay attention when we remind you to give. Don't pay attention that we're dictating to you what the fundamental are and that you should believe them just like we believe them. Don't pay attention that we like our "photo ops" as good as the next person. We can stand by a river with a young man that requested that we baptize him there. It was just a coincident we were in the picture too. After all, we are the servants.
Just much of the same with just a fewer demands. Don't you resist us though. Or get mad when we tell you to switch teaching sunday schools you've taught for 30 years. After all, its not your choice. It is our demand. You should obey God and recognize my authority. Yes, we still have authority even though we've told you that you answer to Jesus and not us. Yes. I know better than you do, doesn't matter if Paul said that widow indeed is worthy of DOUBLE honor or not. That means money for me and nothing for you.....
Same old same ole.
