But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect. Christianity simply does not teach that, although some protestant churches adopted that belief based on Old Testament readings, while somehow ignoring the New Testament stuff that contradicts it. You can't turn it around and accuse me of emphasis on doctrine when you laid the groundwork for a doctrinal argument with your own doctrinal statement which, in George Fox's words 'pleads for sin'. If you read back over my earliest writings here, you'll find that you can't seriously characterise me as 'emphasizing doctrine and membership over searching and substance'. I think you've 'pegged me wrong' as my mum used to say.
Membership is irrelevant.
