The Sin of Segregation.
In the world of believer segregation fostered by denominationalism is
in direct violation to the admonishment of Paul in Romans 15:7. The
division that believer segregation spawns is denominational thievery
because it robs God of the very reason He created man therefore it is
sin. The scripture tells us that man was created to praise God, yet
because of denomination's refusal to
accept each other as equals and shuns one-anothering is robbing God of
praise: “Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order
to bring praise to God” (Romans 15:17). Accepting one another is an
effective means of praise and worship.
Notice there’s no mention of a twenty minutes set aside in a Sunday-go-meeting known as the "worship time", there is no mention of music, raising of hands, shouting hallelujahs, amening the preacher or any other phrases of adoration that we practice. There is no mention of the functions we normally associate with worship. Just accepting one another so His UNITY PRAYER would be fulfilled.
