My concern is that you may be binding men's consciences not by scripture but by church edicts. If you wish to declare Warren a heresy based on a rejection of fundamentals of the gospel, that's fine (but I do not agree). But I cringe when you argue that he is a heretic based on the rejection of doctrines formulated by fallible church declarations.
Do you believe you can only be saved by grace alone, through faith alone, because of Christ alone? Can you find that verse, or is it a good summary of scripture? My guess is that Rick Warren would probably affirm those three solas while not using the protestant definitions for them. And so we need to review the confessions in order to have unity; in order to discern whom is approved.
Everyone uses the Bible as their sole authority! So why are there so many differences of opinion? The church has codified doctrine for unity.
If the confession divides people, that is a good thing.
