The two positions you put forth have little "moderate" ground.

I have to agree with William on this. I'm an active member in a church who are predominately free willed. So I attend Sunday school classes, committee meetings, small groups, bible studies and functions firm in my stance on Sovereign Grace. I don't see too many people that are very moderate on these two faith foundations. You're either in one camp or the other.

Why is being a moderate looked down upon in some areas? Let's take theology for example.

I would like to add something to this statement. I find myself forced to act moderately in many ways. I really have no other choice. I catch myself becoming too intolerant and having to settle for compromise. I find myself finding errancy and wanting to push for reform. I also am led to want to push for reformed classes and to push for reformed thinking in the ministries that I'm involved with.

But I pray about it and I realize that too much of a good thing can actually hinder progress. So I work my reformed ministry in my church slowly and in moderation.

Y.b.I.C,

Dave.

Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. - Galatians 2:16
