Avi K well the Baal Hatanya says that the tzaddik and the beinoni look the same from the outside, both appear to be frum Yidden only the tzaddik has no yeitzer hora anymore (since his nefesh habahamis takes pleasure in serving the nefesh haelokis). So according to every single one of your opinion you brought down, they are reshoyim. Sure some other ‘frum’ Yidden can also fall into the category of a rosho but this does not mean it’s ok. The leaders of this movement are NOT tinokei shenishba. They looked at the chumash and read what’s there. Moreover there are several poskim in who say there are no tinokei shenishba in EY. But in America there are obviously many, however reform and especially conservative rabbi’s are NOT tinokei shenishba and we have to stop using that term to (in a naive way) cover up for these reshoyim, as R’ Chaim Brisker said: a nebech apikoros is still an apikoros.
