I am moderate in my approach to the application but the bright line in the reading of scriptures.  They are what they are and that's it.   What I allow is for how a person applies those scriptures to their life.   I have always felt a person journey to God is theirs and not mine to dictate.  I will give my guidance and thoughts if asked, but nothing more. 

I had an incident as a Chaplain with a motorcycle group of a young lady and baptism that drove that point home, where the ultra-conservative minister in the group had condemned her and told her she was going to rot in hell and that was a good thing.  Me I talked to her at length.

Our words as people of faith have a huge impact on those in need and pain, we should always think and chose our words wisely.   That is what John MacArthur did in his commentaries.  He knew the power of his words and he chose them wisely.
