All who believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and our personal savior are the body of Christ, the Church. I am so disheartened by this thread and all of the pure antagonism that I am nearly sick. What a witness this kind of thing is for non believers. They would want nothing to do with any of us.

All who believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and our personal savior are the body of Christ, the Church. I agree. But if the differences between Christians are *not* important, then by remaining divided we are dividing Christ's body over petty matters. And Christ prays three times (in John 17) that His disciples would be one, "perfected in unity".
On the other hand, if the differences between Christian *are* important, then we should definitely talk about them.
