"No one's interpretation of the bible should control how other members of a faith community follow their interpretation of the bible."

A convenient way of saying that anything goes.  Try that philosophy in the corporate world, or even in a small business like mine.  It leads to anarchy.  But that's what many professed Christians seem to want:  Christianity à la carte; pick and choose what one wants to believe, irregardless of what the church in which they claim membership teaches.  In some circles that constitutes rebellion or insubordination.  As Bill said, every church has "the right to define itself and explain what that community believes the bible teaches," and to limit membership to those who believe the same way.  If one doesn't believe in baptism by immersion, why would they want to be a Baptist, and why should the Baptist church extend membership to them?
