Yup, these are starting to follow the Episcopalians. Women pastors lead to homosexual pastors and then everything goes... If the camel once gets his nose in the tent, his body will soon follow.
Once one part of the Scripture is allowed to be ignored, the whole is up for grabs. Soon, all the little traditions become more important than the Holy Word, and soon we have people saying we cannot literally interpret any of it.
Of course due to the weakening of definitions in this Post Modern society, they will still be called Protestants, but they are falling away from the ideals of the Protestant Reformation.
The doctrinal definitions are being allowed to get muddied. Mormons claim the title Christian, as do up-jumped motivational speakers such as Osteen and Warren, or the univeralist emergents. I just wonder when the Muslims are going to start using the term...
NO!!
