Downfall of Denominationalism and Organization in Church

(Unfinished) What we will discuss:

• Denominationalism introduces bibilical distractions in its pursuit of order and procedure.
• Membership becomes a process of recruiting instead of a process of discipleship
• Denominationalism stifles discipleship and hinders the big picture of the Kingdom of God.
• New members are ushered into a process which the first century church never required. Yet the first century converts had more commitment, more testimony of the power of grace and the Spirit.
• Denominationalism tends to impose extra-biblical standards that become bones of contention involving a total waste of time and resources instead of developing the congregants in grace, wisdom and spirit.
• Members leave anyway for any reason, so what is the real point of membership in terms of eternal values?
• The ONLY Biblical benefit of denominationalism is probably accountability, and yet there are better informal ways to accomplish this like the embarassment of non-conformity to well accepted norms in limited social groups

If you put denomination above the Kingdom of God, you are MOST certainly working for the WRONG kingdom!
