On some things they come out a different places. They do on premil/amil, they do on calvarm, they do on baptism, they do on lots of things. I'm not preaching relativism here, but I'm preaching that all of us are growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus.
I ran across an AW Tozer story the other day while surfing. I'm tired of the infighting among Christians on these threads. AW Tozer is one who believed that these inerminable arguments did no one any good. He said once to a young friend who was preparing to attend seminary. "When you get to seminary you will discover many people sitting around arguing with one another about calvinism and arminianism. You should go to your room and pray to God. At the end of your 3 years, you will find that they are still arguing about calvinism and arminianism. But...You will know God." (That's paraphrased but fairly close.)
Somehow there's a way for me to acknowledge the love of Christ both by fortheDeclaration and DrSteveJ and RnMom and Winston Churchill and ShadowAce and Wrigley and Frumanchu and ComputerJunkie.....etc., etc., and at the same time make a comment about scripture that I might see a different way than they do on a particular subject.
It must be loving. It must reflect Christ's love for believers who all follow him. I see no other way.

I wholeheartely agree with you.
I would commend you, personally, for the fruit of the Spirit which you bear; love, patience, and kindness. You set an example for all of us, myself included.
I thought this was an on-line seminary.
I'm in my second year.
Amen!
