I believe that it is possible to have so many convicitons that those convictions are worshipped more than God Himself. Too heavenly minded and no earthly good.
I agree with you on that point too and i have used that saying on many people - so heavenly minded no earthly good - and sounds like to me those pople that won't go to applebees because they have a TV and a bar would but yet watchs tons of TV are hypocrites and that is between them and God - but like a pastor of mine once said - if you let a hypocrite stand between you and God the hypocrite is closer to God than you - I used to get all caught up in whether things are just convictions or they are bible and I came to the point it isn't worth it - just pray and seek out what you feel like is what you need to do and if you are sincere, God will lead you - not going to worry about the guy that won't go to applebees but will come to my house and watch it all night long
