My earlier question found very little benefit arising from the existence of multiple Christian denominations. However, there remain hundreds of denominations in the US alone.
What would you be willing to forfeit to help bring about Christian unity? What would you ask others to give up?

I don't know that I want complete Christian unity in every single belief, but there are common beliefs that I can hold with others that can allow us to celebrate what we have in common while keeping the specifics as a separate part of our lives that can be handled in a different way. It can work, I've seen it happen. Some believe this to be "watered-down" religion, but I kind of like getting along with others and showing that I don't bite.

I would say that we should all have an honest and open mind. Prating faithfully to know and do Gods will.
The Bible says there is a small End Time remnant Church, and God will call His people out of all the others into this Church.
What Church is it ??? well it will be a Church that keeps all Ten Commandments (including the 4th) and teaches strictly from the Bible and has the Bible as there only Creed...
God Bless & keep the Faith !

Peace and unity with others is only possible (or worthwhile) if we have peace with God. I think most issues would be solved if we resolved to let God handle our differences and concentrate on becoming who He wants us to be. That means me concentrating on my own faults and not on yours.
I believe we still have a responsibility to each other - to tell each other when we see danger, but not responsible for making each other change or for condemning each other.
I don't know if we'll ever see an end to the denominations. I think unity with God as individuals is key to unity with each other.

The only way for all Christians to be in one mind and one spirit is if they forfeit their own lives to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and truly follow Him before ALL things.

I wouldn't be willing to sacrifice anything. What would the price of unity be to me personally? What would I have to change about myself, about my beliefs to conform? To me, the price would be to high.
