Take your toys and go home (Ban the Fellowship)
5 ways to prevent pietism
Be firmly grounded in Scripture.
Practice doctrinal & moral discipline because that is what you are in Christ, not because it proves anything to you or to anyone else.
Aim at the head and the heart in preaching & teaching and properly distinguish between the law & the gospel as you do so.
Trust the Holy Spirit’s promise to accomplish what he desires through His means. 
Don’t make ad hominem attacks or judge hearts and motivation based on what you see.
