Much of the reason for the division in the church I think ties much into when "Christianity" became the major religion by Constantine, "Catholocism. Since then we have had "breaks" I believe that each denomination has some truth. It's just a matter of finding the absolute truth and putting it altogether. I mean honestly, I believe that whether we're talking about baptism, the HG, standards, etc., I believe that the church should all speak the same language.
The "religious spirit" is usually coined to people that aren't wanting to hear this "new revelation". However, a saying that I'm hearing more and more and I believe has much truth is "If it's new, it's probably not true". There is an order to what we as the body should do. All working together. can't have the hand wanting to clap but the other hand wants to write a poem.... it won't work.
Really, we should all just continue in the apostle's doctrine, their teachings. Organized religion isn't the "issue" but rather not being able to go completely to the way things were before Catholocism is one of the biggest problems

I agree, and it doesn't help matters much when the Catholic Church, the Greek Orthodox Church, among others go around arguing that they're the original, "true" church. Just doesn't do much for unity of the Body.

One thing I will say about the RCC and the Eastern Orthodox Church though: they don't have any renegades in their ranks. Within Protestantism, if you feel "offended" or "slighted," then you can just make up your own little organization/denomination, set yourself up as a bishop, etc. At least those two branches have true order in ministry.

Since we are also talking about the Python Spirit, I thought we should review this one as well.
