>>That is why Christians are not opposed to identifying their fellowship so that others can understand the basics of the doctrines that they believe.<<

So you think that belonging to some “denomination” protects from false doctrine or error. Think the Reformed Church and it’s college Calvin College are holding strictly to Biblical doctrine? Here’s a slippery slope for you.

From the “FAQs about Calvin College, LGBT Students and Homosexuality.”

“we believe that homosexual orientation is not a sin”

The Reformed Church of America also appointed a committee to reassess their views and position on homosexuality.

The recommendation to create the "new committee" to resolve the denomination's issues pertaining to homosexuality was passed by voting delegates who were elders and ministers from regional synods and church bodies in the RCA.

And how do you know that you are immune from falling into error? It can happen to you.

Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. 1 Cor 10:12

I hate to break the news to you CB, but your interpretations of scripture are not infallible. You are fully as capable of falling into error as those you so freely mock.
