Template:Common Denomination
Denominate in truth
A Christian denomination is identified by the common denominator of Christ and His Doctrines. Claiming to be Christian or followers of Christ is not enough to make a group Christian. They cannot be doing things that Christ condemned or forbid.[1] And they should be doing what Christ said to do.[2]
Wrong Ways
There can be more than one way to do things right but there are always more wrong ways than right.
