The inherent corruption of human nature and the lostness of mankind without Christ. Salvation as a supernatural work of regeneration and justification, which comes by grace through faith in Christ as Lord and Savior, by means of His death and blood atonement. The second coming of Christ. These fundamental truths are the basis of unity and fellowship among those who profess to be Christians. We should not only beware of the sins of division, we should also beware of the sins of false unity.
True unity depend on both love and truth.
This is all well and good, if we are speaking about a firm foundation of doctrinal, as well as of moral and ethical truth, and if we are speaking about true unity within the body of Christ. But if, as some suggest, this be broadened to include those who are not in agreement with the essentials of Biblical Christianity, we must resolutely oppose it. Although we may vigorously debate secondary matters within the church, we must never divide over them. When it comes to the nonessentials, we ought to agree to differ, but still unite in worship and service. It is a discredit to the cause of Christ when Christians who hold the same beliefs and goals separate.
