Well, isn’t that the point of orthodoxy?  As the Apostle Paul writes in 1Cor. 1:10:  Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.  And elsewhere in Gal. 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. In other words, there is orthodoxy, and there is heterodoxy. These should not be self proclaimed, of course, but should be those which follow the Word of God (by the gracious regenerating and instructing work of the Holy Spirit, and not perfectly this side of the grave).
Apparently this does not sit well with the progressive “faithful”.  According to God, though, this kind of thinking is accursed. Why even bother retaining the ‘faithful’ portion of the name?
