Maybe, and let's be honest - some are backslid. I take no enjoyment in that sad fact. But I think the real proof of a person's committment is in their desired proximity to the Master.
Standards and traditions fade in importance when the Holy Ghost's refining fire is applied to the flesh and spirit of a saint of Jesus Christ. A lot of these silly issues we discuss become invalid and inconsequential at that point.
The greatest word I could possibly leave you is this: It is important to be separate FROM the world. But even more important to be separate UNTO my Jesus.
I find the closer I get to Him, the less I want my own desires to be met.
No manual or bylaws can accomplish a sovereign imputation of righteousness.
Only me and Jesus can do that.
