"Vision" and "oneness"; two terms used in LC fellowship regardless of geographic regions. As brothers and sisters in Christ, we all have oneness in Christ. Apart from Christ, we do not have oneness. When distinctions of ministries becomes essential for fellowship, the oneness becomes "we love those that love the ministry". See Luke 6:32; If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. Talk about vision. Is that vision according to the Word being revealed to you or is it vision according to a ministry? When I read the Word, that is my relationship to vision.
