I'm asking for the con that outweighs the pro of having more members who can get saved.

I would like to point out that for all of our doctrinal differences there seems to be pretty strong unity in the response to this question. I think that says a lot about how much we have in common before we sift out into denominations and individual congregations. I feel like this supports the point that it is not simple disagreement that would put someone outside the church but something of primary or secondary importance. Cheers brothers!
