中国教会的合二为一
耶稣基督曾经说过： “我赐给你们一条新命令， 乃是叫你们彼此相爱； 我怎样爱你们，你们也要怎样相爱。 你们若有彼此相爱的心， 众人因此就认出你们是我的门徒了。” （约翰福音 13：34-5） 按以弗所书4 、约翰福音17等经文的意思， 主内弟兄姊妹的合二为一是一种不可无视的要求、一种不容辩驳的事实。 教会的好见证离不开她的合一性。 随着中国大陆近二十年的发展，以及未登记过的“开放教会”的初步成功，中国基督徒的大团聚之日还有多远？ 就中国目前的状况， 登记过的聚会点信徒与未登记过的聚会点信徒到底有没有同一的信仰？ 若有区别， 这区别多大？ 现在能不能互相认罪、互相原谅、互相接纳，以起来求神复兴中国教会？ 若不行， 为何？ 普通信徒、教牧人员应该如何来推动主内的团结？ 一个不合一的教会肯定没有力量把福音好好传到地极。 求神给我们每一个人聪明智慧，以及谦卑的心来一起分析这个神不喜悦的现象。
