I thought this needed to be repeated. Jesus commanded us to love one another. With oneness He prayed that we would all be one, but it was not the law of liberty. In fact there are many instances in the NT where you would be required to "not be one" with someone.
Uniformity comes to us an angel of light, as "oneness". Unholy allegiance comes to us as an angel of light, as "oneness". Hatred, back biting, insults, and self justification comes to us as an angel of light, by condemning all others for not "caring of the oneness". In this way they ignore the Lord's command to love one another.
