The reason I ask is that I'm part of a new Christian outreach program, and as soon as we reach 35,000 denominations I win a fresh set of tires for the Explorer!

I am glad you have your wordly priorities straight, FK. However, our Lord Jesus Christ did not teach that we should be 33,000 denominations, but one. So, while the Prots and Baptists may rejoice in their never-ending splintering and man-made churches, in their endless protests against anyone's "magistrerium" by their own, it is not fulfilling the wish of our Lord and God.

Actually, all that are indwelled by the Holy Spirit are one.

ICor. 6:19-20 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
