"It's the Enneagram, not the Pentagram. Don't panic, people!"
...
"Mainstream evangelicals haven't had too much of a problem for it, but I think people out on the tails, people to the right of evangelicals, probably."

"The Judgment seat, biblically, is inherently ethical...It's not a doctrinal exam. And so you don't get to give the password. The 'I've accepted Christ as my savior'...Doesn't mean it's works righteousness. It just means it's the nature of the judgment." (2/2)
