Well, see this is where the Apostles and the Scriptures clash with other ideologies because just as a chocolate chip cookie recipe may vary in that some might have nuts in them, they don't cease to produce chocolate chip cookies. Then there are other recipes that might add other base ingredients that completely change the chocolate chip cookie and it is no longer a chocolate chip cookie but maybe a peanut butter cookie that might include chocolate chips. So, it can no longer be called a chocolate chip cookie. There are unchanging foundations of the faith of Christianity. People may have variations in the non-essentials, and that is fine, but once the foundation begins to be chipped away and the foundation begins to really have little or no resemblence to the faith once delivered unto the saints, it ceases to have the right to be called "Christian beliefs" just as the foundation of the chocolate chip cookie changed to the foundation for a peanut butter cookie and just because there are still included some chocolate chips doesn't mean it is still a chocolate chip cookie. Does that make sense?
It makes perfect sense.
Who should get to decide when a Christian is no longer a Christian?
