Unity in the Faith is non-existent apart from "speaking and thinking the same thing"
John writes: Anyone who believes that
(as extended to a specific set of teachings) is a legalist. JD
jt: Depends what kind of faith you are unified around -
We are free to think and speak whatever we please but if you are off doing your own thing then you will have no part in
the unity of faith in the Christ of scripture.
Now the Mormons are being taught to speak and think the same thing. Would you call this sect legalistic?
The Magisterium of the RCC requires thinking and speaking the same thing - what about them?
The writer of the Epistles also says it is desires but that we grow into it in Christ. So what about that?
Take your pick....
"Nevertheless whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the SAME RULE, let us MIND THE SAME THING" (Phil 3:16)
I am not sure as to your point. We (you and I) already agree on my comment as per your post.
