The ideal of wholeness must apply to our plea for restoration of New Testament Christianity. It is not enough to restore ordinances and doctrines. The end of doctrine and ordinance is Christ-likeness. To be doctrinally and ritually right is insufficient. It is only as deeper insights into religious truth are manifested in a higher quality of life and spirit that New Testament Christianity is restored and commended.
Differences are natural to man.
Uniformity is impossible and unnecessary. Unity can be maintained only by allowing room for differences. It is the genius of our movement to maintain unity in spite of differences. If differences led to division our witness would be undermined and we would fail to fulfil our mission. If we are to fulfil our mission in relationship with others we must develop a culture that is expressed in our life, worship, witness and ministry.
