We do not say " I am of this or that" because we do not have this attitude either, to do so would be natural and not spiritual. Instead we simply prefer to call on the name of Jesus and focus on Christ. We believe it is equally as bad to be for someone or for something than to be against it, to be for Christ is positive but it is natural. We aim to be "in Christ" and that is the difference. We are in Christ but the denominations are not in Christ, we focus on Christ, talk about Christ, pray to Christ, call on His name, praise Christ etc. In the denominations they focus on services, programs, rote prayers, bible studies, activities, etc. In some denominations you rarely hear the word Christ mentioned.
