I agree with you. If some document or agreement is presented as biblical than I would not want to sign it if in fact it contradicted scripture. As Tom pointed out and I have experienced back in the days when I attended an arminian church, these people try to make scripture say what it does not. In other words they would say that Jesus turned the water into grape juice.

I guess I see a difference between binding one's conscience by trying to tie it to scripture and recognizing that there are certain liberties which we as Christians do enjoy but that we can choose voluntarily to not exercise those freedoms for the sake of say a weaker brother who might be tempted to sin. When I was a member of that church, I had to sign a document agreeing to their terms of not drinking, smoking, dancing, playing cards etc. and etc. I had major problems with it as I learned that they had a flawed view of how to interpret scripture and eventually became convinced of reformed theology in the end. I also gained my freedom to engage in their forbidden activities but with the responsibility of being particularly considerate of others weakness. Many people in the past have chosen to not drink because of the great harm it has done in many homes. I have no problem with that.
