What you’ve written gives a view very similar to what I would give.

I believe that the compromises are surely due to pressure from the world, but also from the ranking of essentials and non-essentials that is vital to an evangelical understanding of unity. The struggle is between the doctrine of separation and the doctrine of unity. I believe that the problem stems from another doctrine that I won’t mention, since you have read me and you know what I think it is. Scripture presents a perfect practice of separation and unity and that must be the one we must practice, but it requires a right understanding of another Scriptural doctrine.
