Keith,
You have rightly pointed out the clarification or rather precision I have offered to my first comment. I realize, by seeing your blog, what it is you are aiming at. And yes "any sort" is rather general isn't it. So I will grant you that much. However, what is it that must be believed about Jesus' deity? About Scripture? Do all evangelicals agree? Which so-called 'evangelical' determines the rules for everyone else? Who controls the term? And in that regard, I meant "any sort" of professing Christian. While your focus is analytic (on the terms that are used), my focus in this matter is someone different. Since, you have on your blog advocated a personal interest in philosophy of religion I would love to hear you speak about the limits of religious epistemology. And after having established what is possible to be known, then lets discuss how to adjudicated who is "in" and who is "out" when we demarcate the limits of 'evangelical.'

And by the way, I find your repeated reference to "longing to see the other come to a right relationship with Christ" as a rather untenable approach to dialogue indicative of the problem I have been arguing against from the outset. I would like to *know* how you *know* what *right* is? What justifies your hermeneutic?

Since, I have found your interaction engaging, I have also commented on our discussion at my blog.
