ONE Faith???...

The ONE FAITH of Ephesians 4
By Mark J. Ward

There is one body, one Spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism and one God and Father above per the teaching of Ephesians 4:4-6. The one body is the one church, the one Spirit is the Holy Spirit, the one Lord is Jesus Christ our Saviour, the one faith is the true, pure, undenominationalized Christianity as found in the New Testament, the one baptism is water baptism for the remission of sins and the one God and Father is the first person of the godhead (the Son and the Holy Spirit being the other members of it).

IF we come to agreement and understand properly God's Word, as He wants us to, we will be united in faith, doctrine and practice (Eph. 3:3,4; John 17; I Cor. 1:10; 2 John 9). The concept of "choose the church of your choice" is error, per the teachings of the New Testament (Matthew 15:9; 7:21; 2 Tim. 2:15; 1 Tim. 4:1-3; 2 Tim. 4:1-5). Let's seek to destroy denominations and simply be Christians!
