For example, some churches have communion weekly and some monthly. <br /><br />Baptisms are also handled differently. It's clear in Scripture that baptizing a baby doesn't save them. They have to make a personal decision for Christ. But some genuine believers choose to have infants baptized as a sign of including them in the community of God, not a sign of salvation. Regarding marriage, some churches require premarital counseling and they will not marry non-believers, other churches are okay marrying non-believers.<br /><br />We all will decide what church we want to attend based on these differences, and I personally have my preferences, but we shouldn't let these things prevent us from having fellowship with believers who do things differently than we do.<br /><br />I hope that helps explain.

So often, sometimes even withn smaller divisions of the same denomination, we are separated by our different interprtations and opinions about doctrine and Scripture. We need to focus on what binds us together rather than what divides us, so that as Jesus said we can be one. How do we set examples of Chrisitanity to non-Christians if we are always nitpicking and fighting among ourselves?Roisinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13351402751154671705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538057051911243767.post-34691241176498802742012-11-27T17:29:47.596-05:002012-11-27T17:29:47.596-05:00I don't like green tea either, but there are s...I don't like green tea either, but there are some teas that I like. We should 'hung up' on what the Bible says instead of disagreements on issues that often are not even found in the Bible. I always love how you give an interesting example and then use it to bring out a valuable spiritual lesson.<br /><br />Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303626433109140676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538057051911243767.post-39561215485402489782012-11-27T15:43:59.034-05:002012-11-27T15:43:59.034-05:00I love this!

As for me, I don't care for it all. Well, there are certain reasons for being careful, especially when we are in the same ministry. The Scripture teach us to test spirits, too. It's not about difference of tastes, but the same Christ. Otherwise there is the command of love!<br />Love, MagdiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538057051911243767.post-11580397055917864692012-11-27T13:43:01.266-05:002012-11-27T13:43:01.266-05:00Gail, I love ya' but I almost skipped this one...Gail, I love ya' but I almost skipped this one!

I believe that the root cause of why some Christians are fearful of "variety" is because they have a hard time feeling justified in their own beliefs and the way they live and look. When everyone "looks" (and "tastes") the same, that "look" then becomes the basis on which to judge other Christian's righteousness. Comparisons among themselves become more important than comparing themselves to Christ and measuring up to His standards. The liberty for variety and pursuing personal convictions should lead us to rely on Christ and His approval and acceptance alone. <br />Thanks again for speaking the truth boldly! ♥ Dave ~ Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06969488242088890863noreply@blogger.com
