Not taking a name is still "Christ PLUS Something". There isn't a way for a group of people to take a stand for oneness without implicitly dividing themselves from even that one little true believer hiding in the back of the Baptist church down the street. You can only make the choice in your heart. God sees it and it is evidenced when you are with other believers by your receiving of them. No men can control this. Our God will be honored as Lord.

Matt, in earlier posts I made this is along the lines of what I was saying. It's a matter of our heart. When interacting with fellow brothers and sisters, are we building walls or tearing down the walls? I'm sure many of us are in a workplace where we interact with fellow believers. How do we recieve them? Is where they meet really important? Or is all that matters is they're are brother or sister in the Lord?
