“This sect...everywhere is spoken against.”~ Acts 28:22
In the real sense of its meaning today, I am not a Calvinist, though I believe in the sovereignty of God and election. Nor am I an Arminian, yet I believe, “whosoever will” is a legitimate offer. I am not a Dispensationalist, but I try to rightly dispense God’s Word. I am not a Fundamentalist, or an Evangelical, but I do believe in the fundamentals of the Faith, and the great historic doctrines of the Church. I am not in every sense a Baptist, but I am Baptistic in doctrine.
In other words, the only “sect” I belong to is the one that is known as “Christian.” This historic group takes in all the above beliefs—plus. By belonging only to this body I can love, and fellowship with, all God’s people, no matter what their name or the minor beliefs they subscribe to. The one and only issue is the doctrine of Christ. This is what John emphasized in his three small Epistles.
It’s a good and liberating feeling to know you no longer live in a pigeon hole with others just like you, continually rehashing the same old things, year after year. This type of person never grows spiritually or intellectually. What a blessing to listen to, and learn about, other points of view, from good and godly people of a different persuasion.
I want all men to know I am His disciple. But this can never be, till I love all God’s people. Nothing can separate me from God’s love (Rom.8). If I am to be God-like, nothing should separate my brothers and sisters from my love.
