It should be easy, but men have different ideas, different levels of Sprituality, differing needs in worship. As I have stated, I have no problem going to any church that holds to the Bible as their source of wisdom. I do not feel that “my” church is the only true church, but it is right for me. Is there a “one size fits all” church out there? Not until we are all in heaven. And I believe that all who confess belief in Jesus Christ will be in heaven, regardless of which church they belong to.

As to your question... visible unity is essential, that is why we must love one another, united in Spirit. That does not mean, however, that we will all agree on everything. How you handle disagreement, that is where love comes in.

As is clearly evidenced in scripture... er... somewhere... right... er not! "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" is marx not Christ.

Wow. Is it worth sacrificing visible unity in order to meet our "differing needs in worship"? Who in fact is being worshipped: the people who have to multiply schisms in order to personalize their worship styles in order to meet their differing needs in worship, or God?
