Bible Note: Greetings Reighnskye! You wrote: "I have never anywhere personally suggested that anyone has a clear conscience, but rather I have heard such a thing suggested in various church circles that I've encountered. Churches with 5000 to 20,000 plus members in Illinois. I view their doctrine as well nigh heretical. Nonetheless, the doctrine is taught by the largest Protestant congregation in the entire United States, as located in Illinois. Many other churches here have followed suit." Are you suggesting that Willow Creek teaches this doctrine? I would be quite surprized! Can you document this doctrine? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
