Until we deal with how that can be accomplished we will continue to be a facade. A shell. No matter how much we splash around in the waters of water baptism. No matter how much we speak in tongues and debate all this doctrinal... we will continue to be wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: Rev 3:17 |

Unity is a very key issue. They know that we are His disciples because of our love one for another... and in Christiandom today there are a hundred different groups with a hundred different teachings. (more actually)
So, One God, Jesus Name Baptising, Holy Ghost filled, Holy living people, how do WE, the ones who hold to the original teaching and pattern of the Apostles, strike the balance? How do we hold to the doctrine that is extremely important, while showing the love of God to our fellow "believers".
So that those in our communities and cities can believe and be baptised?
I asked my husband this... his answer was that we not fight with the other denom's but that we continue to preach, and continue to teach home Bible studies, continue to show love and light at the same time.. and God will look after the disunity or perceived disunity.
One thing I know One Accord... Unity is key, but so is Truth. And you've got to have both. But we can't walk together for very long unless we agree.
