A helpful category for understanding gray areas of faith is Albert Mohler’s concept of “Theological Triage.” This concept helps us identify which areas are essential and how we can respectfully disagree with other believers in other areas. We aren’t relativizing the faith; we are simply recognizing some matters of practice require us to rely more upon the Spirit’s guidance.
