Church Unity Is More Important Than Being Theologically Correct

Would you be a member of a church that has historically practiced/endorsed speaking in tongues but does not make it a requirement for membership?

Yes.

The Church I belong to is SBC. Our pastor is a professor at a Pentecostal seminary.
You probably know what the church position on tongues is.

What does this mean? Does it mean you can believe whatever you want, as long as you don't believe it's true?

Andy Stanley: Church Unity Is More Important Than 'Being Theologically Correct'

"Church unity is more important than 'theological correctness', according to North Point Community Church Senior Pastor Andy Stanley at a conference with approximately 8,000 attendees.

At the Orange Conference, which focuses on issues of church leadership, Stanley spoke on Thursday about the importance of Christians of different denominations being 'one' in their mission.

Stanley centered on John 17, in which Jesus prayed that His followers 'may be one as we are one — I in them and you in me — so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.'"

Hello all:

I was wondering if Bro. Stanley had ever read Al Mohler's "Theological Triage" piece?

For those among us who have not read it here it is A Call for Theological Triage and Christian

I am sure this will generate some discussion, I hope more light than heat....

That is pretty sad. I understand reaching people in the name of love for the sake of Christ, but to say that we worship the same God? that is pretty sad coming from a very influential pastor.

How can there unity between the two groups, as we worship the true God and His Son Jesus the Lord, while Muslims worship a false god, really satan in disguise!

His break down is really good, as there are indeed issues within Christian that mandates that we need to divide over, but I fear that we have kept separated far too many times over secondary issues!

Did you read what Stanley said? He did not in any way advocate compromising primary doctrine.

[Yeshua1]

Yes.

Just as long as the church does not hold to we must speak in tongues to be saved, or that God is giving additional revelation to us today!

VStanley spoke of how he came to believe that believing in Jesus Christ was more important than theological arguments like how communion should be served or if babies should be baptized."

If he means that we should not be so much humg up on secondary issues, and forget that we agree on main ones, that is correct.
