Are they sheep or goats, going to heaven or going to hell. This is the main point
here, you say you wish for more interaction or is it more acceptance? There is no
middle ground, no grey areas; it is one or the other.

I agree, I can treat them well and with respect but they are not my brethern. I do
a great deal of doctrinal discussion in my life and in email. I have many friends
that do not have life faith and I pray for them I talk to them and witness to
them...but I fear they are not saved...they beleive the lie that the religious
world portrays.
