Introduction
- Ephesians 4:1-6 – There is one faith.
Let’s content ourselves with what the New Testament reveals about the church.
- Ephesians 5:22-30 – Jesus is the savior of the church (body). Notice that the church does not save – the church is the saved.
- Hebrews 12:23
- Philippians 4:15; 1:1
- Let’s just do what the New Testament says the church should do and leave it at that!
Let’s not content ourselves with doctrinal divisions.
- Matthew 7:21
- John 17:17-23
- Ephesians 4:5
- Jude 1:3
- Ephesians 4:11
- Acts 18:5-11
- This is Jesus’ church – He gets to make the rules!
Let’s just be Christians, not types of Christians.
- Acts 11:19-26 – They were brought “to the Lord.”
- You can’t read in the Bible about a Baptist Christian or a Lutheran Christian. You only read about Christians.
