Please, please keep your odd, unbiblical doctrines. Those of us who cling to Jesus, alone, who recognize that we have been chosen before the foundation of the world, who realize that it does not depend on the, “...the man who works or the man who chooses, but on God who has mercy” (Rom 9) will continue to stand because He is able to make us stand. If your organization needs props, just keep them. We pray that the scales will drop from your eyes and that God will drag you into His family...absent the “religion”.
