It has been said that "No one causes more dissension in the body of Christ than Martin Zender." This is because I emphasize the patently obvious truth (at least I thought it was obvious) that our fellowship revolves around teaching.

Such an emphasize sends the "Kumbaya Krowd" into emotional seizures, as this sort habitually insists on lowering the bar of truth (or, better, eliminating it altogether) so that as many people as possible can be called "members of the Body of Christ"—never mind if essential body-of-Christ teaching is believed or not.

Two of the most vociferous proponents of "teaching doesn't really matter" are Clyde Pilkington and Gerry Beauchemin. Here is my account of how Gerry Beauchemin called me out at a conference in Sacramento twelve years ago for "raising the bar of truth" so high that his brother (his literal brother), who "prays three times a day" would not be (could not be) in the body of Christ because he espouses the Trinity.

Comedic and tragic at the same time, folks. You can't make this stuff up.
