“Born, raised and practicing is the criteria for credibility...”

See, the genius of the priesthood of all believers lies in the obedience to “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you,”. These people are not part of evangelicalism which came out from the liberals and modernists.
What has the Roman Catholic Church done about Teddy Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry and Cornwell? If it has not excommunicated (separated itself) them for their heresy, it condones it.
Bzzzzt. Wrong.
That's logically equivalent to arguing that the state's failure to prosecute so-and-so for some crime amounts to condoning the crime.
I hope you're not a lawyer.
