say this as tactfully, and as lovingly as I can to all who side with Rick Warren in this ecumenical drive to unite the worlds religeons. Be warned, for this is what the Bible says: God is gracious and merciful, and will forgive those who turn to Him thru Jesus Christ with a repentant heart, and choose to fllow Him. However, He is the Righteous God, and He will judge those who deliberately turned their backs on Him and His Son - Jesus Christ because of their obstinate rebellion and continual rejection of His Son. Read the Bible in context, and then comment on it. We cannot, and should not have felowship with those who claim to be Christians yet don't obey His Word, and HIs Salvation Message. The post modern liberal Emergent church, and it's seeker sensitive counterparts want people to believe that if we all save the environment, and save the whales, the events of the Book of Revelation will not happen, and we can actually prevent it from happening. This similar social gospel which claims that we should make the world a better place, and usher in peace prior to Jesus' second coming, as well as unite with all people of faiths has been adopted by Rick Warren, and has caused whole splits in the Southern Baptist Convention, because he has gone down the Purpose Driven P.E.A.C.E Plan agenda, which by the way is a false doctrine my friends. These movements which align themselves with Bono from U2 and the whole COEXIST crowd have more in common with humanism, one world religeon, and the new age than what the Bible says will transpire. The problem today is that we have so many "Bible teachers" who are more motivational speakers than true shepherd's of the flock of God. No wonder the Body of Christ is split. The Bible talks of a great falling away in the end times. Men will naturally gravitate towards what their "itching ears" want to hear. What more itching do you need than what you hear on TBN, and the like: "find success", "you are the controller of your own destiny" "God will prosper you if you just have faith [and send me your money]". They take Scripture out of context to suit their own desires, and fleece the flock of God for their own matierial gain. OPEN YOUR EYES and STUDY the WORD IN CONTEXT; for Christ will return soon.

According to scripture the true church is the body of believers. Col. 2:10-13 tells us that Jesus is bringing many sons to glory, as He is the captain of our salvation through his sufferings. He is the Sanctifier and we are the sanctified; we are all one through Him. Christ declares all believers (and receivers of Himself) brothers and saints in the body of the true church.

But those believers must follow the Word of God and not deviate from God's teachings. If a "church's" instructions stray from God's doctrine even a little, then it is false teaching and not to be tolerated.

Actually there should be only ONE church. Sectarianism is of the flesh/ carnal says St. Paul in 1Cor. 3:1-4. The 4 marks of the church are: ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC and APOSTOLIC.

This was true until 1054 AD when the first split occurred then the other unfortunate incident of 1517.
So, why shouldn't the Church be united once again? I'm not supporting the Emergent Church Movement for various reasons, but they are not the enemy. The enemy is humanism and the false idea of secularism. You're either for God or against Him, there is no neutral territory.
God Bless You!

As long as it's unity for truth's sake, underpinned by a belief in the plenary inspiration of scripture, and not unity for unity's sake, the go for it.

This is leading us in the direction of the one world church spoken of during the 7 year tribulation period as described in Revelation. The emerging church movement, which is a part of this grand scheme, is helping to lead the unsuspecting down the wide path to destruction. And many of us know who the real "leader" of this plan is.....satan! Christians, pray that the Holy Spirit gives you discernment in this matter.
