We should remember, therefore, the use of Christian words is no guarantee that the thinking or the view of reality being offered is biblical.
The mind which asks for a non-miraculous Christianity is a mind in process of relapsing from Christianity into mere "religion."
New Age replacements for religion soothe the conscience instead of rubbing it the wrong way.
All roads lead to the judgment seat of Christ.
Every error may be based upon some part of Scripture taken from its connection; But no error can stand the test of all Scripture.
A person does not usually join a cult because he has done an exhaustive analysis of world religions and has decided that a particular cult presents the best theology available.

Heresy is the school of pride.
As Christ is the end of the Law and the Gospel and has within himself all the treasures of wisdom and understanding, so also is he the mark at which all heretics aim and direct their arrows.
...he that will blow the Coals must not wonder if some Sparks do fly in his face...
