    Absolutely God does the work as it is written

    John 3 NKJV
    20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
    21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been (wrought) done in God (God's power worked in them to bring about the truth so then the deeds).”

    KJV
    21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

    This is the way.

    I accept a person as a Christian based on their professed acceptance of the Gospel as outlined by the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 and therefore would willingly fellowship with them.

    "For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures"
    1 Corinthians 15:3-4 (NIV)

    The Apostle Paul lists this as being "of first importance". Theologians refer to the Gospel as of Primary Importance with all other teachings being of Secondary Importance.

    Breaking fellowship with a brother or sister is a serious decision and one that should not be taken lightly.

    I was taught that only issues of Primary Importance are considered geuine grounds for breaking fellowship.

    We can only break from each other when Primary truths are being affected, such as denying the Trinity, Denying Jesus is God, denying Second Coming, denying Physical resurrection of Christ, not due to say modes of baptism or bible version used!

    Should Arminians and Calvinists Attend the Same Church?
    In my opinion it would only cause absolute confusion.

    Is that the fine print under the Evangelical Free Church signs?

    Still looking for where the Holy Spirit commands us to keep the unity, unless are Cals and Arms!

    Generally in a church where Arminians and Calvinists both worship, it's the Calvinists who are persevering to try keep the Arminians from losing their salvation.
