And therein lies the problem with some of these “Church communities”, they are almost gnostic in their requirement for secret knowledge of scripture.

Almost? Mark especially, and I, have been harping about this. There is a whole crop of Gnostics masqueraduing as "Christians." I suppose, each new generation succumbs to the irresistble egotistic appeal inherent in this heresy.

You are right, its a problem unique to the Bible Church Communities and to a lesser extent liturgical Protestant communities (Lutheran, Presbyterian, Anglican . . . because they are firmly grounded in a tradition).
