“For Christians to be linked in association with ministries who do not preach the gospel of Christ is to incur moral guilt. A Union which can continue irrespective of whether its member churches belong to a common faith is not fulfilling any scriptural function. The preservation of a denominational association when it is powerless to discipline heretics cannot be justified on the grounds of the preservation of 'Christian unity'... It is error which breaks the unity of churches, and to remain in a denominational alignment which condones error is to support schism.” ChristianChristChurchCommonMoralBreakSupportDisciplineMembersFunctionGuiltUnionsErrorsUnityAssociationMinistryFulfillingPreservationLinkedPowerlessJustifiedAlignmentHereticSchismChristian Unity Author:Charles Haddon

“This is the amazing story of God’s grace. God saves us by His grace and transforms us more and more into the likeness of His Son by His grace. In all our trials and afflictions, He sustains and strengthens us by His grace. He calls us by grace to perform our own unique function within the Body of Christ. Then, again by grace, He gives to each of us the spiritual gifts necessary to fulfill our calling. As we serve Him, He makes that service acceptable to Himself by grace, and then rewards us a hundredfold by grace.” GivingStoriesBodySpiritualChristGraceSonCallingUniqueFunctionRewardsTrialsAcceptableAfflictionGod's GraceBody Of ChristSpiritual Gifts Author:Jerry Bridges
