The Regulative Principle: The Scriptures are the “only infallible rule of faith and practice, no rite or ceremony ought to have a place in the public worship of God, which is not warranted in Scripture, either by direct precept or example, or by good and sufficient inference” (Samuel Miller).

Interesting and accurate.

I have said before that the FV is not just a theology but a way of life. Those who have been caught up in the movement often exhibit certain traits to the chagrin of those who know them and love them.

One of those traits was identified in the post cited above: loyalty. Despite obvious wrong doings and aberrant theology, intelligent and seemingly otherwise normal young Christians are defending the FV men left and right. It is disturbing to see how deep this loyalty goes; almost to the point of fanaticism for some. Jeremiah 17:5-7 comes to mind.

Thank you all for your kind words. And for the record, it was indeed intended as friendly advice. Better that as many as possible repent and return to the fold.

I hope they take your advice seriousely. The more I find out about FV the more it sounds like a road leading our reformed brethren to Rome.
