The problem is that I consider sin within the camp to be serious. When some take it upon themselves to falsely accuse another while at the same time claim to be proponents of grace theology, that is the height of hypocrisy and cause for deep concern. The fear of the Lord seems to be a lost concept among those who herald the concept of grace the loudest.

I have never fallen prey to this Shepherdness deception because I was blessed with good Christian parents who recognized the problem with this. My father and mother actually sat under Mumford and Prince's teachings in California back in the late 1960's and early 1970's when we lived in Southern California. Mumford and Prince had asked my dad to move to Florida and be one of the elders with them. My dad declined and warned them about the error of the teaching which they were following. Just a little history trivia for you since you brought up names from the past. :-) I am much more of a Libertarian than you perceive me to be. The problem is that I am in the middle when it comes to authority and tradition. I believe in authority and tradition, but I also recognize the error of those who have abused their authority and those who have been enslaved by it. To the anti-authoritarians, I appear to be in favor of authority and to the authoritarians I appear to be anti-authoritarian. Peace be with you.
