The enemy seeks to divide Christendom with labels: "Methodist," "Baptist," "Evangelical," "Dispensationalist." He's been extremely successful. Once you label you can then sever, isolate, and dismiss. It's a powerful, Machiavellian tactic, but in the end, it can only divide the institutional churches, not the capital 'C' Churchthe mystical Body of Christ. Which is why some of us refuse to be baited with the questions about what church we attend or what denomination we affiliate with.
For the believer, the unifying factor is faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross as taught in Scripture, by grace are you saved through faith, not of yourselves, it is the GIFT of God, not as a result of works SO THAT NO MAN CAN BOAST, not denominational affiliation or doctrine.

To counter his attack, we need to use the labels that the Bible providesbeliever and unbelieverThank God I do not belong to that false religion anymore, 😁👍 the one that brings 💀🔥 I gotta agree with that statement. There are ONLY two kinds of people in the world. Believers and unbelievers. Until one is a born again believer, one is AUTOMATICALLY in the devils camp. There is no fence sitting. The only thing in the middle of the road, is yellow lines, and dead skunks.
