Until the number is 100% we still have our praying, teaching, and encouraging cut out for us.

Your fellowship/church is the exception then. I can't figure as a movment why they would want to move away from something that defined them from the beginning and the fact the Jesus said believers should receive it.
By the way I all for Biblical scholarship, exposition and sound teaching enhanced by the contributions of other notable scholars. But I think you can have the best of both worlds.
