Why All Christians are Actually Non-Denominational


Your church building may have a denominational name on it. Your mouth might speak often of your own particular denomination. And the majority of your friends may all belong to your denomination. But I'll tell this much....there is no denominational label imprinted on your soul....and there will be no denominations in heaven.

When you think of your "brand" of Christianity, you may tend to view it with at least a small sense of superiority relative to the other brands out there. After all, you probably wouldn't be part of it unless you were convinced that it is the closest thing to New Testament Christianity available today. Amidst all the denominations out there, you have carefully chosen to belong to your particular group.

He has only one body. He has only one family. There is only one Christian faith by which people enter the kingdom of God. You are either in, or you are out. There are people within all Christian denominations who are in.....and others within those denominations who are out. The true church is an "invisible" church made up of all Christians, regardless of denomination. Keep reading
