"...people who only define themselves by what they're against" This is so right on! I wonder why some focus so much on how others are "wrong" and less on what they actually affirm. Of course we need to have a spirit that corrects but simply out of love for the Gospel and the person, not to win an argument.

Good post. I've never been one to care too much about others theology. After all, they have be debating theology for centuries and information hasn't changed so much that we are going to come to a conclusion today. But, as with all things, I have found out that as a Youth Pastor 1. I need to have a theology of my own and be confident in those beliefs. 2. I can learn from anyone and any situation. It's when we stop learning that we start becoming less effective. And 3. As you said, be gospel centered and not compromise Christ. You have some solid points here Jeremy. Good post.
