I'm talking about denominations.  Specifically, the wedge that exists among Christians due to denominational loyalties.  I'm sure you all have seen it yourselves and can give some examples of what you have experienced. I know I've experienced it.

The church was built on the foundation of Jesus Christ, the son of The Living God. Unfortunately, there are too many church leaders and members who have forgotten that and have allowed the foundation of their church and their faith to be their denomination - its beliefs, its traditions, its leaders. Unfortunately, when it comes to choosing between their denomination and the foundation which is Jesus, too often the wrong choice is made.

It is to the point that some denominations actually base salvation on whether one is part of their denomination or not.   Did someone say, "The family of God?"

(I would be remiss if I did not at this time mention that The Southern Baptist Convention and New Hope New York had been EXTREMELY supportive, including us in their church planters training sessions and monthly church planters meetings.  Kudos and thanks for not allowing denominational boundaries to prevent a relationship with other Christians.)  

The point of all this is that denominations have become a barrier to building the Kingdom of God on this planet.  I understand that we do not want to see a watering down of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for the sake of fellowship and communion.  However, it also appears to me that the great majority of denominational differences are typically secondary in importance, even when theological in basis.  Towards that end, it should be more important to us as Christians that we understand what Paul is saying in Romans 14:13-23 - that we can agree to disagree on secondary issues without decreasing the importance of the primary issues - and it seems to me that most Christian denominations would agree upon those - just look at their creeds.
