I can commend John for loving the Word of God. But I'm careful not to adopt the ecumenical spirit that permeates Christianity in our day. The mutual quest for the truth as it is in Jesus is rapidly being replaced by an all-inclusive attitude of a false sort of love that is already leading many evangelical leaders back to Rome to shake hands with the pope. Not saying that this is part of the current discussion, but it seems to be related in a way.Did I write that he should be followed? If I remember correctly I wrote that his love for the Word should be recognized. I will add that it should even be commended.
Why should he be allowed to have a pulpit? I suppose a Dispensationalist could ask the same question of a pastor who is a Covenant Theologian.
Be careful of throwing out the baby with the bathwater, or for that matter believing that you have some litmus test for doctrinal purity.
As a Baptist, my Presbyterian brethren and I have real differences. In spite of those differences, there is much that we agree on. There are times when it is right and necessary to debate our differences, but it is also right and necessary to recognize those things that we do agree on.
None of us is the standard for doctrine, but if we ask God for ears to hear what the Spirit says to the church through His Word, He will grant it to us.
