Godzilla, I don't know which "apostates" you speak of but he opened up his explanation acknowledging that many peers he loves and admires have signed the document. He's not saying that by signing, you've lost your place in heaven or something. Sheesh. He's just giving reasons for why *HE* won't sign it.

Here is part of his statement: "Instead of acknowledging the true depth of our differences, the implicit assumption (from the start of the document until its final paragraph) is that Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Protestant Evangelicals and others all share a common faith in and a common commitment to the gospel’s essential claims. The document repeatedly employs expressions like “we [and] our fellow believers”; “As Christians, we . . .”; and “we claim the heritage of . . . Christians.” That seriously muddles the lines of demarcation between authentic biblical Christianity and various apostate traditions.

Please note the last part of the statement. He may love and admire, but still lists some signatories of the declaration as apostate.
