I attended a Nazarene church while traveling...their central teachings of Christianity are clearly their focus so I had no issues. Most churches deviate when it comes to other issues to some degree or another....but the centrality of Jesus Christ and the Gospel message is pretty much across the board in most Evangelical churches....though even they are under attack today by “popular” culture and the Emergent Church teachings.

yeah—that’s why we go to this one. They are pretty Christ-centered, and the one or two issues in which we differ are not that important or vital to the faith.

This is true, and is due to a shared conversion by faith in the word of Truth, and relationship with the Lord Jesus, resulting in a basic essential unity of the Spirit - Christ in them and they in Christ - that is greater than their differences, and manifest in the multitudinous ministries consisting of believers from various evang. churches.

Yet this is still basically a remnant, as many are not actually converted, or many of us are yet not humbled and committed enough to accept one another as Christ accepted us, and to contend for the Truth and rescue the perishing.
