Controversy Continues Over CHURCH UNITY - Lester L Grabbe - 1971

Lester L Grabbe

The United States alone has more than 250 separate denominations. Major ecumenical movements are afoot to bring all differing and conflicting sects and denominations together. But what are the chances for success? Will the near future see all Christians unffed? HOLY FATHER, keep through your own name those whom you have given me, that they may be one even as we are one," prayed Jesus Christ, the founder of Christianity, just before His crucifixion. Later, the Apostle Paul, in writing to the early church at Ephesus, stated, "There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism'' (Eph. 4:4-5). But is there really one faith, body, and baptism in Christendom today? Hardly. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
