I agree with the sentiment expressed given the way "moderate" has been defined. However, I'd like to pose another definition of moderate and see if the same holds true. Many in the Lord's church have gone to one extreme or the other, violating the principle taught in Revelation 22:18-19. A moderate is simply one who is in the middle of two positions. So in this context, a moderate is one who stays in the *middle* of the straight and narrow road. He goes neither to the left (loosing where God has not loosed) nor to the right (binding to where God has not bound), being careful to ensure he falls in neither ditch. Given this definition of "moderate" (which frankly is the definition that has always been in my mind when I think of the church), are we not to be moderates?
