As you study the Bible, you’ll find there is no doctrine or basis for denominationalism.
If you find yourself in a denomination, you should know it’s unbiblical.
“One Lord, one faith, one baptism”
~~~Ephesians 4:5.
“If you find yourself in a denomination, you should know it’s unbiblical.”
So...the Episcopal denomination that supports abortion, sexual mutilation and lesbian bishops is no different from the Southern Baptist denomination, that rejects those
AND that consists of 45,000 INDEPENDENT churches who have banded together to support missions and seminaries?
Because in the New Testament, no church ever received support or consulted another church about doctrine or supported missions?
That same form of argument could as easily be used to claim the church shouldn’t exist in more than one location, because there would be different people leading each location who could grasp some point of Scripture differently.
