Bible Note: Dear Joe! Yes, it seems almost like Martin Luther was human, huh? (as I recall, the 12 were pretty human, too :-) 'Non-denominational denomination!' I like that! :-) I can't speak for anybody else, so I don't know about 'anti-denominational bias that leads to rejection of cooperative efforts with denominational churches,' but I have first-hand experience with the other way round. Many denominations are not very cooperative with 'non-aligned' ministries, too, my friend. I see a distinct polarization in this issue. Either a total rejection of two key ministerial gifts of the Holy Spirit (often accompanied by a rejection of certain manifestational gifts), or a irresponsible, abusive perversion of these gifts. I, myself, prefer a place near Jesus, embracing all of the gifts He has made available, without embellishment or human 'modernization.' Blessings and peace, Joe! In Jesus, charis |
