When you say traditional churches, do you mean the more prominent denominations?

I would say that any church or church denomination that would join the National Council of Churches might be suspect. While I am sure that there are many fine pastors in those denominations, the fact that the majority of them would vote to join an organization that essentially stands for everything a Christian ought to oppose would be a good indicator of a problem. A problem, I'd say, which is much worse than any soft or mushy doctrines taught by Osteen or Warren.

Sorry, but I am not familiar with the National Council of Churches (been saved under 2 years and only attend an expositional teaching church). Are these really Christian churches (as opposed to Jehovah's Witness or Mormon church)? Does the National Council of Churches have an unbiblical stance on beliefs that the churches agree to or something? Really curious if you have the time...our church is"independently owned and run" if you know what I mean and do not favor centrally run denomination-type stuff.
