They'll pick out verses here and there...some of them have totally gone overboard on to the wrong side...some of them are on the slippery slope. These doctrines that seem to be specialised doctrines are actually wrong doctrines which get people hooked on to you. You may have bigger attendance in those churches than in the churches that teach biblical doctrine" says Apologist and Bible Teacher L.T.

Fundamentals counters False Teaching
