We need to concentrate on what unites us in following Jesus. In this world, Christianity is under attack from all sides, we cannot focus on debating the equivalent of how many angels can sit on the head of a pin” amongst ourselves while ignoring the assault of secular humanism, Islam and the realm of evil.

I have had people on FR tell me that I am ‘damned to hell’ because I do not believe exactly as their minister and congregation believe, because “it is the only correct interpretation of Jesus’ words.” That is what I see as destructive to Christian unity.

Should we as Christians focus on denominationalism and the separation it brings or do we focus on what unites us? I think it is what unites us.

Whether I am right or wrong, will be up to Jesus to decide.

The non-Catholic born again believers on FR focus on what unites us and that's salvation by grace through faith in Christ.

I don't have a clue where most of the other born again believers I know best go to church, nor do I care.

The primary ones who make it about church affiliation are the Catholics with their (for the most part) bragging about their church and constant harping trying to find out the denominational affiliation of anyone not Catholic.

Yes; I've heard of things like that.

Seems the practice has been around a long time...
