so....... if a person agrees with you on all but one of those points...... even fighting on your side the majority of the time .......but stands fast in the firm belief that you have erred on one of these issues....... is that person still a freebird and a heathen?.... ???..... ...... do we get any fundy points for being in agreement with you 90% of the time?........ ???
First, what a joy to see you posting again sister. I've continued to pray for you.
Secondly, a freebird, even in the most pejorative sense possible, may certainly still be saved. It's not my job to determine who is saved, so I wouldn't call them a heathen.
Third, to your central point, of percentage of agreement with another Christian, I can't even agree with myself 100% of the time.
Seriously though, I disagree with my own pastor on some issues, and we get along just fine. I'm sure that in the real world, were I to rub elbows with many of the freebirds on here that we'd get along just fine. But there are certain personalities that will always rub me wrong, Christian or not, and a couple on here fit that bill. When people mock for fun, and want nothing more than to argue, rather than discuss, then when discussion is offered they act like Pee-Wee Herman, well, they'll get the respect that PeeWee gets.
