Better than being labeled heretics or blasphemers. Truth Seeker sought to tell us how much we are blaspheming and engaging in heresy. Instead, we call him out on how Protestant his beliefs are. It's not so much that we are labeling him, but we are calling it as it is.
Being a servant, a Jew, a Gentile, a weakling is not being a heretic. St. Paul did not say "I became a heretic that I may be all things in Christ for your sake."
Granted we do meet Truth Seeker halfway, by offering verses from the Bible and simple rational logic.
And if he is non-denominational, it all the more makes a difference in the discussion, because one can point out the irrationality of being called "non-denominational" while trying to refute our Apostolic "denomination". He needs to know that non-denominational is a denomination in and of itself and is rooted in Protestant theological precepts, all of which leads to the non-inclusive nature of the group he is part of while deceptively marketing a name that makes it as of they are inclusive of all so-called Christians. Put yourself in St. Paul's shoes for a second. Would he call anyone a "Christian" who denies the reality of the Eucharist?
