Those who demand uniformity to supposedly "please the Lord" are unwilling to unite with other brethren who do not think like them. In essence... they want EVERYONE to believe exactly like them on those subjects that they deem essential.
We need to move beyond this. Unity in Christ is a unity of spirit through the Holy Spirit not a legalistic uniformity on all teachings and/or points of view. |
Just to make my point a little clearer...I agree wholeheartedly with your position. Historically and even today many oneness higher ups have been open to dialogue with the broader body. Thats my experience and prayer for today. Praying that God would direct me to fulfill His prayer; "That they all may be one".
