Look at the Charter and Bylaws.

If you are going to play by the Govt’s rules of incorporation, etc. that is what you play by (failed man’s system).

That said, I believe in the unity of the Spirit, which I interpret as, if you and I disagree, one or both of us is wrong. Meanwhile, God is right. Finding His will may be difficult, or may take patience.

Recall Paul and his desire to go to Rome (I think), and the opposition by other Christians. The Holy Spirit worked it out.

I would like all leaders to agree in making a decision. Upper room — all of one accord. But Christianity is not a cut-and-dried set of rules that we humans desire, but obedience to the Spirit of God.

Only in matters of doctrine, my FRiend. There is an eternity of distance between a decision whether to build an addition, and whether to alter the church's stance on baptismal regeneration. If in the former case you insist on the unity of the Spirit, you would have to accept that same scrutiny in the choice of the color of the choir robes, and be prepared to say that the misguided sinful souls who insist on navy rather than royal blue are outside of the Will of God.

I think you would agree that last case is just silly. Are we in unity of the Spirit there?
