Is there something we can take from the modern day approach to youth sports, "Everyone wins, there are no losers, everyone gets a trophy" and apply it to the "church" today. Is this the view the majority have when it comes to salvation? There are no winners, no one did better than anyone else, we ALL get a trophy.
Everyone Wins....

Because, of course, there is no such thing as objective truth. There is only my version of the truth and your version. Neither is wrong. To suggest that you are wrong might damage your tender self-esteem. I know it would mine. We need to put aside all those things which divide us and concentrate on those things about which we agree.
Unity among Christians is to be desired above everything. Everything else is secondary or non-essential.
So, let's shut down the Baptist Board. Too much dissension going on here. -
I'm a huge proponent of having kids play at least a few years or a civic sport in their youth. It teaches them to earn a win (rather than be entitled to it), and to lose gracefully.
Now in regards to the church, salvation is salvation. Everyone gets a trophy. There is no such thing as being "more saved" than someone else. -
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 1 Cor 9:24
So, I disagree with modern ideas in this regard. Everyone runs, but not everyone gets a prize. In our Christians lives let us run that we may obtain the prize.
