Random Revival Rhetoric

Well, yes, I agree.
There cannot be revival without Christians being in unity.

I agree. The whole point is unity is key

You are verbally harming his ministry by talking ill of him to the public. I wouldn't recommend doing this. Just a warning.

Way to completely take the verse out of context!

Warning!?! Surely ye jest.

Harming "his" ministry?? Since when is it HIS ministry.

I would agree that unity could bring revival; however revival neither requires unity, nor needs more than a single individual.

To say revival can only come with unity isn't entirely correct. People can be in unity and be without revival.

Revival doesn't need a Pastor and praiser to make a connection.

Revival isn't about numbers.

I really hate the term "revival." Anyway... If everyone had their own personal revival (like I am experiencing) there would be a corporate revival.

One issue with the group revival mentality (other than the term) is that everyone is waiting on someone else in the group to start it. Well, the devil got some folk real good with this religiosity.

The multitude who shouted, "Crucify Him!" were in unity. Just saying...

Pretty low expectations, I would say. What else could you hope to gain if you couldn't achieve anything with the ultimate goal of unity.

If the Word had not said, “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” Matthew 18:19-20, I might have agreed with you.

But there are a lot of things in the Bible which are conditional, including our salvation - when Jesus tells the Jews that "IF" they continue in His word, they will be His disciples. Which means if they don't continue, they won't be.

Paul teaches that we will be holy, unblameable and unreproveable in His sight, IF we continue in the faith, grounded and settled.

So, to some degree, revival is conditional as well. Because someone is going to be present who is in agreement.
