I'm glad you brought this up. I've always been dismayed by the AS stuff found taught in the "high" churches. Of course there are breaks that have been documented, "Nag's Head Fable" aside. Does anyone seriously want to argue otherwise? I suppose so.
But it's worse, as you suggest, when AS teaching is used to unchurch other Christians. Again, it is obvious to anyone who has eyes to see that people get saved in Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist and (!) Bible churches, and they have "valid" (i.e. fruit-bearing) ministries. So these spikes want to argue that all of that is just false fruit from a false church.
That's not a place where I can ever go, which I suppose to some folks marks me as "low church", as if those old high-to-low Anglican categories had meaning any longer.
