Shane, for those of us who don't know, what position was/is John Kwon in?

>>It is a Biblical *principle* to welcome a leader as if

>>himself."

What a disturbing stretch it is to take Galatians 4:14 and turn it into a *principle* to "welcome" (welcome = absolutely obey?) a leader as if he were God himself. In fact, the Galatians were just practicing a principle that Christ himself gave long before Paul (Mt. 25:34-40), a principle, incidentally, that UBF does not practice.

So something can be "not a good practice" but still be biblical?

And, BTW, this is the first time you answered the simple yes/no question.

And, BTW, your simple "No" answer is again, disturbing.
