There’s a story* told by a Grace Believer who met another Grace Believer in the middle of the Golden Gate Bridge. He said:
“I was standing in the middle of the Golden Gate Bridge admiring the view when another man walked up alongside of me. I heard him say quietly, ‘What an awesome God.’
“I turned to him and said, ‘Are you a Christian?’
“He said, ‘Yes, I am a Christian.’
“I said, ‘So am I,’ and we shook hands. I said, ‘Are you a liberal or a fundamental Christian?’
“He said, ‘I am a fundamental Christian.’
“I said, ‘So am I!’ and we smiled at each other. I said, ‘Are you a Covenant or a dispensational, fundamental Christian?’
“He said, ‘I am a dispensational, fundamental Christian.’
“I said, ‘So am I,’ and we slapped each other on the back. I said, ‘Are you an early Acts, mid-Acts or late Acts, dispensational, fundamental Christian?’
“He said ‘I am a mid-Acts, dispensational, fundamental Christian.’
“I said, ‘So am I’ and we agreed to exchange Christmas cards every year. I said, ‘Are you a pre-trib, mid-trib, or post-trib, mid-Acts, dispensational, fundamental Christian?’
“He said, ‘I am a pre-trib, mid-Acts, dispensational, fundamental Christian.’
“I said, ‘So am I,’ and we decided to exchange kids for the summer. I said, ‘Are you a 12 in or 12 out, pre-trib, mid-Acts, dispensational, fundamental Christian?’
“He said, ‘I am a 12 out, pre-trib, mid-Acts, dispensational, fundamental Christian.”
“I said, ‘So am I!’ and we made vacation plans together. I said, ‘So, on the Gap Theory, are you for a Gap between Gen. 1:1-2 or against it?”
“He said, ‘I am a pro-Gap, 12 out, pre-trib, mid-Acts, dispensational, fundamental, Christian.’ And I said, ‘You heretic,’ and pushed him off the bridge!”
