  1. Some #theological hills I am willing to die on:
    1) The plenary inspiration of #scripture
    2) At bare minimum, adherence to the #doctrines proclaimed by the first four Councils of the undivided #church must be upheld.

    4) The #eucharist / #lordssupper , while symbolic, is not merely symbolic but also a true/real encounter/communion with Jesus.
    5) #Baptism *must* be done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
    6) Baptism is #regenerative
    7) #Liturgical #worship is essential because the #bible itself reveals the Church’s worship as liturgical.
    8) The #unity of the Church is not merely a spiritual reality (i.e. invisible), but a reality that ought to be visible for all the world to see.
    9) Except in the cases of #heresy or wholesale unrepentant #sin within a portion of the Church, rending the Church’s unity is sinful. (So, disagreements over adiaphora are not worthy of division -- no matter how much one love's their pet theological theory)
    10) All #christians must pray for and actively work towards and for the reunification of the Church.
