For sure they should. Christians that don't stand up against radicals are in essence succumbing to them by doing nothing. A great example, my home town church is in the middle of disaffiliating with the PCUSA. It has been a huge struggle and we finally did it. They try to control every church and pass legislation that should be offensive to every Christian on the planet. Example: they published a piece that encourages and expects every church to use language other than Father Son and Holy Ghost/Spirit in order to "connect and identify with others' faiths and give a more worldly view of the Trinity". They provide examples such as "Mother, Child, and Womb", somehow completely forgetting that Father, Son and Holy Spirit are their names, not just made up titles that sound cool and can be replaced with others. That was basically the last straw for us. Now, PCUSA is trying to physically take over our church, kick out the pastor and the session (our church's congress of sorts) and boot out the 3/4 of the congregation that voted to disaffiliate.

Its been a painful and divisive process, and it isn't over yet, but we had no choice but to defend our faith from these other Christians who were and are attempting to control our every act of worship.
