I suppose it is only the universalists and any other group lumped with them, who honor him with their lips but their hearts are far from him, and whose faith is called into question, because they have something more and know something more than the easy believing of giving their assent to the belief system of the fundamentalists(something Jesus never taught). There is something fundamentally wrong with that.

I don't know. You'd have to ask Nate and Mystic about lumping people into groups, because they are the ones insisting on dividing Christians into separate groups. It doesn't make sense to me either.

That's what I have been saying. Seems like my time was not wasted after all.

Depends on how much you value nit-picking.

"There are really only two kinds,; those who make Christianity what one believes about God and our relation to Him, and those who live what Christ taught regardless of what denomination they may work within."

Nothing in there that would indicate that the people who make Christianity a way of action in regard to love expressed may not be concerned with perceptions about God, just that they clearly don't make it all about doctrine as many seem to.

Doesn't matter now that you already defeated your own argument.
