We are not a denomination because we do not "denominate" (that is, classify) ourselves. We just call ourselves Christian.
In your last point it said:
""We are all from different denominations. For this weekend we put them aside and we worship and grow together. When we go home we can go to our denominations again".
It's kind of funny because a weekend it seems is all they can tolerate of each other.
But we are made up of people from all sorts of denominations (originally), and can meet week to week as "Christians".
So we don't have to have weekend unity, we can have regular ongoing unity.
Even if we meet with these denominations for a weekend, they would not come with us and join us week to week. So they are the divisive ones, not us.
The denominations can too, if they drop the denomination thing, but as you can see from their words, they can't wait to "go home to our denominations again".
The thing is, Christ did not build the rooms in the halls of Christianity. We did. They actually do not exist, only in the minds of those who think that division is normal.
