Our salvation, in fact, depends on it. Why? Because if we teach error regarding the boundaries of fellowship, we have gone beyond the doctrine of Christ and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=todddeaver.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6084869&amp;post=172&amp;subd=todddeaver&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
