How do you guys handle it? We don't anymore, huge chunks of the Church are in schism and nobody dares call it that. Unless of course your theological leanings are "stuck in the 50s" at which point you'll be run out on a rail.

Kinda what I figured. We've got similar issues but it involves doctrine vs seeker sensitive. We have some churches who are still doctrinally strong, and some that aren't.
Both opens us up to apostasy. We, unfortunately don't have a mechanism to keep a common message...but then again...it doesn't matter if you do have that tool if you never use it. Either way, we're screwed. But then again, this is what scripture said would happen in the past days.

Either way, we're screwed. I just found a new tagline, thanks.

I'm not sure how you get from "the apostles and prophets" to then "built on Peter alone". I'm not sure how you get from all of the apostles given the power to bind and loose to the "Peter alone can bind and loose". Why do you write quotes for your comments to try to make them seem like mine when I did not make those quoted comments ? That seems disrespectful and dishonest.

If your theory is built on the premise that there is no holy catholic apostolic church, ie., no universal church containing all believers that ever will be because it has not been called out into assembly yet then you follow the Independent Fundamentalist doctrine. There is no body of Christ except in the generic sense; each local New Testament Baptist Church is the body of Christ and Ephesians 2 , as well as all the other verses about the church only apply to a local church. A church can only be birthed from an apostle like Paul, Peter, etc. or missionary from an existing genuine NT church. Is that what you believe ?
19Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

Kind of hard to see that when for centuries the RCC let their priests have at it with little children by covering up for them. Lots of stones around necks.
