In my Christian walk I find myself growing quite alone because of my beliefs but that's OK because I have to answer to God not man.
William,

I am quite accepting and actually pleased to see that those who embrace the doctrines of grace find themselves "growing alone" in comparison to the majority of professing Christians and that which is currently in vogue among most denominations/churches. However, IF one finds that they are "growing alone" in comparison to those who embrace the historical and biblical doctrines known as the Reformed faith, then that should give one reason to examine their "unique" beliefs with sobriety. Lone rangers are most always at variance with the truth once delivered unto the saints as the truth is not individual but corporate truth because it is the Spirit of God Who reveals the truth first and foremost to the Church and preserves it.

It is essential to make such distinctions both to guard against error from without AND from within ourselves for we are all prone to wander. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/Ponder.gif" alt="" />

In His grace,
