Dave in Tenn:
Other than hell/heaven and free will (and maybe tithing), what other idols of the heart or false doctrines have you had smashed in you since coming to B-T? 

I ask 'you' because it's easy for me to see the 'wrong' in other traditions, but I mostly want to know where and how I am wrong and I hope some of ytou who have trodden this path ahead of me can help.

Others of you may also be able to answer from an 'observers' perspective.

Graci.

Patrick:
Trinity, death, winning souls, and "church" are a few.

Jackie Lee:
Soul winning was a biggie for me, I felt I had did God a great favor by bringing people to church with me.
It was like a feather in my cap, so I thought.

David:
Dipping yourself in water in order to recieve the Holy Spirit. Something I never did but kind of felt I should because of all the preasure to do so. "Getting saved" past tense. That was a favourite mantra in my Church. "So and so got saved, lets praise God everyone" or "when and how did you get saved", all talked about as though it were a done deal, you said the prayer, dipped yourself, had the pastor lay his hands on you, that was all there was to it in their minds. I was in that mindset too until I saw Rays two videos "how hard is it to get saved" about two years ago.

kweli:
I had a few...

* Speaking in tongues
* Romans 8 (I always thought the book of Romans suggests that no matter what I do, good or bad, I'm justified)
* Revelations being literal
* Being seen/approved by men, especially of the clothTithing was always a bitter pill to swallow. Ray's paper on it was my first step to freedom. Then everything else was just wrong. I mean I cant tell you one thing that I thought was right in the sight of GOD. Imagine that...
