First, they are works oriented. IF you don't do their works, you are a second-class citizen in their world. With emergents it's helping the poor and the environment, and with the 3rd Wave Charismatics it's the fasting and "trying real hard to get close to God" along with speical revelations. Second, if you dare to critique them, they react sarcasticlaly, and some, almost violently. So much for the "God's love" these people supposedly are trying to spread.
