Shut up, Dr. Dobson

The presumptuous arrogance by which certain Protestants of the more peculiarly American mutation claim to look into the hearts of others has been manifested quite scandalously by Dr. James Dobson, who has opined that former Sen. Fred Thompson- baptized a member of the Christian Church (a denomination which denies being a denomination)- is "not a Christian" because he doesn't talk about his faith enough.

Dr. Dobson is bearing false witness, and needs to publicly repent- and be publicly rebuked by every more orthodox believer in order to help him see the error of the false teaching (or outrageously inappropriate and uncharitable word choice) which motivates his outrageous presumption.

At least he said he doesn't THINK he's a Christian, but that's way too much in itself. Someone with Dobson's level of influence needs to be more careful about airing casual half-baked impressions.

So Thompson's a Campbellite, eh? The only group I know of that both 1) teaches baptismal regeneration, and 2) rejects infant baptism. Wacky combination.
You can say that about Campbellites. Just leave the Mormons alone. And whatever you do, don't suggest that we don't worship the same god they do!
