I agree that it’s definitely good for Christians of all denominations to get along, and as I stated earlier, some of my best friends are Presbyterian or Anglican. However, no matter what you do, there’s going to be doctrinal differences and different schools of thought among pretty much anybody, and sometimes it’s better for there to be separations so as not to create animosity. I think when there are different denominations the Christians in the different denominations sometimes understand their differences in doctrine/interpretation of scripture better, and accept that there are differences. Sometimes people that are in the same denomination butt heads more because they think that their view of a subject should be the view of the denomination, and the other person has a different view so obviously they should be somewhere else. However, that’s not all encompassing and often being a part of a good church family that cares for each is more important then necessarily agreeing on everything. There have been both Calvinists and Arminians that have attended my church, but we all still usually get along. However, if the pastor is teaching things that you don’t believe in/you don’t agree with, and those are really important issues, that’s obviously an issue, and maybe you should find a different church. Basically you have to find a good balance between being somewhere that you fit in, and being somewhere that has sound Biblical teaching.
