Yeah but people like to form a group and use the uniformity thing to express their identity. It makes them feel safer than just being alone as an individual. That is one reason why we have Methodists, Lutherans, Baptists, Episcopalians, Pentacostals, Brethren, ect. ect. ect. and thirty thousand other groups that you can be a member of each with their unique expression as their identity. People are very good at this as if you talk to anybody about being a christian one of the first things they want to know is what group you belong to. This is one reason why I liked the LC as the concept was we were the no name group in theory. I agree the oneness is in Christ as Paul expressed that idea not to be a follower of a man not even him,, we are not to be Paulines, followers of a man but we are one in Christ. We are not Jews and gentiles, Greek, Sythians, free man or slaves but our oneness is in Christ. The desire for the one expression should just be that when people come in contact us Christ comes out from within and His life is expressed. Sometimes this comes from people you would never think were christians because of their outward appearence

Even Jesus had this problem as the religous people couldn't believe he was serving God when He was. They said isn't this the carpenters son. How could He being doing these things? He must be doing this in cahoots with Satan. Of course underlying this was the fact that they were playing the I belong to the elite spiritual group game. Therefore having the illusion that I am somebody where this dude is just a carpenters son.
