We are the body

These men cannot prove the things they accuse me of doing. “But I admit that I follow the Way, which they call a cult. I worship the God of our ancestors, and I firmly believe the Jewish law and everything written in the prophets. I have the same hope in God that these men have, that he will raise both the righteous and the unrighteous. Because of this, I always try to maintain a clear conscience before God and all people.--Acts 24:13-16

I don't understand the division in the church today... It truly makes no sense to me. I believe that Jesus Christ was born, He was was crucified, and He rose! Because of what He did on the cross I am saved--PERIOD!! The rest are simply details that have separated and divided the Church for centuries!!

I don't care if you tag yourself as a Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal, or whatever if you call Christ your Lord and Savior then I call you brother or sister--PERIOD!!!

We all serve the same God, have the same commission, and have the same goal--WIN PEOPLE to Christ!! God called us to reach an unreached world and make disciples--NOT to argue and criticize one another over doctrinal differences!

I am not concerned with how you worship, or how you dress, or any other detail of your doctrinal beliefs...what I am concerned with is PEOPLE, after all PEOPLE are the reason Christ came and died...
Are they being reached, are they being saved are they being loved by the Church. Do they see the love and unity of Christ when they look at the church, or do they see a bunch of irrational rioting between denominations?

Let's just agree to disagree. LIVES are depending on it!!!

Jesus went into some pretty peculiar places and did some pretty controversial things; people didn't understand Him either... I follow the Way--call it a cult if you like; but the Word calls it Christ (John 14:6) 

We are the Church...We are the body of Christ...Let's join hands and build the Kingdom together
