The enemy seeks to divide Christendom with labels: "Methodist," "Baptist," "Evangelical," "Dispensationalist." He's been extremely successful. Once you label you can then sever, isolate, and dismiss. It's a powerful, Machiavellian tactic, but in the end, it can only divide the institutional churches, not the capital 'C' Church—the mystical Body of Christ.

Which is why some of us refuse to be baited with the questions about what church we attend or what denomination we affiliate with.

For the believer, the unifying factor is faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross as taught in Scripture, by grace are you saved through faith, not of yourselves, it is the GIFT of God, not as a result of works SO THAT NO MAN CAN BOAST, not denominational affiliation or doctrine.
