I see what you're saying, and I think this is a hard one, but (1) I'm trying to find some middle ground, and (2) in a way, it's an affiliation, which isn't a bad thing to know...

Jesus says, "If you deny Me in front of men, I will deny YOU in front of my Heavenly Father." Therefore, if one is not open about their faith in Christ, he will not go to heaven.

And this seems to have settled down, at least for now, yes?
