Without even touching the details of the twelve numbered items, your final statement makes me wonder. People serve God at a multitude of different levels according to their own experiences and gifts and opportunities or the lack of certain things.
In more than one place, I have been hushed or asked to leave because of what I would or would not embrace. I have seen others cast out of places for similar reasons. We must of course stand where we believe, but because someone differs in some point or points, should that be a good reason for us to make such a final judgment? Is a Christian not one who is Christ-like or is striving to become Christ-like? If they miss on one or more of listed points, does that make them a non-Christian?
When a person who is completely heathen in practices and beliefs first comes to Christ, will he immediately embrace all of those things in this creed? Should he? Even if he should eventually, what is he in the interim? A non-Christian and therefore not saved until he gets it all together?
