Ok, let me see if I can explain my theory. Take my example of learning Spanish, I had to tutor other students, before I was saved. They needed help with Spanish. If they had to choose an unsaved student, with an A average, or a saved student, with a C average, would they choose the C student because of his faith choice? Or the student that will help them succeed? In the same way, if you struggle with alcoholism, for example, would you go to an AA meeting that got results and helped you not to drink, or go a to a prayer meeting with believers who had similar struggles? Actually in many cases, the suggestion of former alcoholic Christians is to attend AA meetings, and when they mention praying to a faith, pray to Jesus. In essence what I'm saying is sometimes the best sources are not Christian source (although if you have the option of a faith-based support group, I would advise to always side with them, the problem is that is not always a choice). Or, as with AA or ARC, they become lax in their origins of faith and step away from the evangelical side of things and focus primarily on their service, but that doesn't mean their service is bad. I guess you could say it is what you make of it.
