IT REALLY DOESN’T MATTER!
Missionary Pat Bates,
Hi Everybody! I hope you are being
as blessed as you are supposed to be! I
think more blessings will come to the body of CHRIST, if we stop majoring on
the minors. I am really tired of one
Christian denomination thinking they are better than the others. Remember, denominations were formed by man,
not by God. I was abused in a denomination when I moved over to an
inter-denominational church . . . it was not a “Christian” way to act. Please
read the following and think about it! Selah!
If you baptize by
sprinkling, and we immerse . . . it
doesn’t matter.
If you praise without
musical instruments, and I praise with a band . . . it doesn’t matter.
If you quietly bow your
head in worship, and I raise my hands . . . it doesn’t matter.
If you pray in English,
and I pray in tongues . . . it doesn’t
matter.
If your Pastor wears a
robe and mine wears a suit and tie . . . it doesn’t matter.
If you say a prayer for
the sick, and I lay hands on them . . . it
doesn’t matter.
If you stand in your
church, and I dance in mine . . . it
doesn’t matter.
If we wear makeup in my
church, and you don’t in yours . . . it
doesn’t matter.
If we speak forth prophecy
in my church, and you don’t in yours . . . it doesn’t matter.
If my church is racially
integrated, and yours is not . . . it
doesn’t matter.
If your services are
based on tradition, and mine flows in the Holy Spirit .
. it doesn’t matter.
If you do not accept
divorced clergy or women in the pulpit, and we do in ours . . . it doesn’t matter.
If you have Jesus in your heart, and I do too . .
. that is all that matters!
I think I’ve got it!
