A church formed on minimal theology produces minimal Christians. When the doctrinal standard is so broad that virtually any Protestant position may shelter beneath it, the people are given no substantive framework within which to grow. They cannot be catechized in what they have never been taught to hold with precision. They cannot defend a faith they have never been equipped to articulate. And when cultural pressure or theological novelty arrives, as it invariably does in every generation, they have no deep root system to hold them fast.
