Nonetheless, denominations are a problem. So, someone has to chose between a Methodist church or a Baptist church, or the other 30000.
In the beginning it was not so .
I agree with what you're saying testallthings. Having met with several groups over the years (LC and Baptists) and having Christian brothers from different denominations (Lutheran), there's one common theme and that's an unwillingness to meet apart from respective LC, Baptists, and Lutherans. Where one meets on Sundays is an invisible barrier. Doctrines and ministry publications becomes the basis for fellowship and not the Bible.
How good and pleasant it would be to set aside doctrines and ministry publications and just make the Bible the basis of fellowship.
