[Risky-Riskerdo]

Sometimes I do disagree with my own pastor on what he preaches, since I am a staunch Reformer. Most of his preaching is in line with my view of classic Reformed theology, and the few times it is not, it just isn't that big a deal. I also disagree with other good Reformers on minor matters. Again, no big deal. We are all learning and being sanctified.

I've heard RC Sproul say many times that due to sin, the best that any theologian(which ALL Christians should be) can hope for is to be 80% correct, and even that is a stretch. However, there are the essentials which must be correct for one's eternity depends on it.

But of course this statement itself is exempt from being 20% incorrect.

That sounds reasonable to me, with your proviso that the 80% includes the essentials of Christianity. Some things really are non-negotiable, despite what we see some churches doing.
