God the Father is saving the world through His son Jesus Christ.  "how one understands..." doesn't determine salvation.  God determines salvation and God is determined to save the world.   There are no limits to His saving power.  "Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them." Heb. 7

We avoid the "Cox Brethren Dilemma"  by not joining the Brethren church.  The Brethren Church was, I suppose, is, congregational.  Every gathered congregation is responsible for its doctrine and its elders.  Just like the Amish and Mennonites. You got the Beechy Amish and the New Order Amish and the Old Order Amish, and the Schwartzentrooper Amish and the Nebraska Amish, (Nebraska Amish live in Pennsylvania - long story) and lots of other Amish too.  I'm wild Amish myself.

We have our California Adventists, and if Monte gets his way, it will no longer be figurative.
