Worried for myself. As a teacher, I occasionally uncover ideas of others (like the 'rapture’, and 'what Jesus did when he went to hell') that have very little if any support in the whole of Scripture. Folks are ready to fight for a position of 'doctrine' that is not of the Apostles doctrine, but something they heard from a charismatic individual who tells good stories. If I challenge the class to think for themselves, read for themselves, I feel as though I am causing division in the congregation. I know that the word heretic doesn't mean only 'those who cause division' but there is a continual spirit of dissension present when we draw near to certain subjects.
