Honestly, the "BR" and "TR" designations have already worn out their usefulness, in my unlearned opinion. The "TRs" created that label to distinguish themselves from those that they perceived as straying from the great doctrinal standards of the Reformed faith. Many of those that they've termed "Barely Reformed", in fact, hold fast to those standards . . . they their differences with the TRs largely as methodological rather than theological. For a while, I proudly (and probably sinfully) held to the "BR" label as some sort of badge of honor and used "TR" as a term of derision for those who didn't "get it".

These labels have together become altogether useless for anything but dividing Christ's church. We can (and should) each learn from the other.
