And IMHO, I had a sense there were already ppl here of the mentioned 
denominations.  I think we tend to know that, yet I don't recall any 
issue ever being raised over our differences.

The point I'd like to bring to the table is we need to be "inclusive".  
If this virtual group were a physical meeting place, I would hope we 
wouldn't be having this conversation about letting others in the door.  
If there were ppl in this group without faith in God... they too would 
not fit the guidelines and therefore be "excluded".

I have faith in our God who continues to teach me His truths.  I don't 
fear the chance of being swayed by another's' belief/theology/dogma.  I 
put it all to the test God's Word teaches us.

Lets welcome them with open arms!
