The Origin Of Denominationalism There
are more than six hundred different denominational churches, each teaching
different man-made doctrines, each with different forms of worship, each with
different human devised plans of salvation, and each wearing different religious
names. There is no scriptural
justification for this confusion, “For God is not the author of confusion”
(1 Corinthians 14:33). Such cannot
be pleasing to the Lord. God’s
word says, “Now I plead with you, brethern, by the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among
you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same
judgment” (1 Corinthians 1:10). This is not happening
in denominationalism. Denominations
are of human origin and have no scriptural authority to exist.
Every denomination is in conflict with the one church, which Jesus built.
By Ron Boatwright
The denominations have had their beginnings
during the past 500 years.
Now there are literally hundreds of differing denominations, each with
its own peculiar man-made doctrine and practice which contradicts the Bible.
How can any of these differing doctrines be true?
They can’t.
Anything that contradicts or is different from the Bible is false
doctrine.
Their divisive human creeds that govern them come from the minds of men
and not from God.
Their creed books hold their group together as a denomination.
The main reason for the religious division of denominationalism is man
will not accept God’s word as final authority.
Jesus says in Matthew 16:18, “I will build My
church”.
The word “church” is singular, meaning one and only one and the word
“My” is possessive, meaning it belongs to the Lord.
The Lord only built His one church.
Jesus never promised to build even one denomination.
