I have a dream. In a ballroom-style hotel room, I gather 50 smart, pious people who each profess: \u201cOne doesn\u2019t need a divinely authorized church to tell us all what God wants us to believe. All you need is the Bible and the Holy Spirit.\u201d Then I seat them round ten tables and listen to their discussions of theology. Before long, some will say to others things like: \u201cYour Christology is demonstrably false.\u201d \u201cYou can\u2019t be serious. We\u2019re supposed to worship on Sundays, not Saturdays.\u201d \u201cIf you ever lose your faith, you never had it.\u201d In due course somebody will say: \u201cYou know, none of us are infallible. Let\u2019s just all be tolerant.\u201d At that point, I say to them all: \u201cQ.E.D.\u201d Finally, seeing them rush as one toward me, I wake up.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
And John Farrell adds:<\/p>\n
