I am part of a non-denominational group that is Bible based. They do not teach or preach liberal politics or theology. Politics gets very little attention... less than I would prefer personally. That being said, the focus is not on saving people with a political agenda. Remember, most of the Jews who rejected Jesus did so because they were expecting a political and military savior rather than someone Who would save them from sin. That is exactly what I am talking about here. Homosexuality is identified as sin and preached against. But you do not have to be homosexual to be on your way to hell. And adopting conservative political views will not save you even if it went so far as to abstain from immorality.

My conservative views spring from my Christian world-view, but I do not confuse the two. A conservative world-view is, by itself, not enough to save anyone from sin.

I have to agree with you 100%. I belong to a church that teaches God's Word, and makes no apologies about it. God's Word is not up for debate. A "Conservative world view" and and nothing else comes under the "works clause" in Scripture.
What disturbs me is "Christian denominations" like the PCUSA and ELCA diluting Scripture to be politically correct. God isn't impressed. If what I posted to you offended you, please forgive me.
