ZNP,

I believe the testimony of the Bible is very clear on this. Before the Lord, I could not compromise on this. This is test to the genuineness of a local church. Does it match the pattern in scripture? If not, it must be rejected. If an assembly compromises this then they do not stand on the ground of oneness of the believers and do not represent locally the oneness of the universal Body of Christ. Therefore, they are not a local church. A genuine local church has a stand. Laodicea may be large and spreadout and so there may be meetings from house to house, nevertheless, the Lord addresses the church (singular) in Laodicea. Laodicea is lukewarm but there is still one church in Laodicea. Division is sin, therefore denominations are also sin. I could never agree with that either. The scripture is straightforward on this.

I agree with this view. It's my view now too.
