Yes, it can be scary, their certitude, but at the same time, if one rests in the importance of following Christ, we shall overcome the misperceived need for certitude in living our faith. The stock they put into certitude tends to unwind easily, which is why they often are so emphatic in expressing it.

Show them a way forward that affirms what you can of what they believe already minus the "extra-biblical" stuff that tends to cause more heat than light.

IMO, we're still struggling to get out from under the polemical spirit that prevailed in almost all of Europe in the aftermath of the 30 years war. I admire reformed-types for their missional holism, but they seem to miss the boat on their own ecclesial fallibilism and cannot handle the interpretive ambiguity that comes from admitting we simply don't see the big picture, with reformed theology being a wooden caricature of such.

Thanks for the link, you should post about it.

I'm better with faces than names.

My dad is a prof at Bethel U and has the same first name as me...
