I don't think it is as easy as that Axehead. There are some very significant distinctions between Christian groups, and not all division is a bad thing. Obviously, many doctrines are things we can all agree on and be comfortable with. However, others are not comfortable with certain teachings or church structures and do not want to be under the leadership or teaching of such groups. Also, there are issues about inerrancy, homosexuality, the nature of the cross, the meaning of salvation, the nature of the Gospel, the nature of God, etc. that are all very significant issues that churches do not agree on. Personally, I would separate from and not want my children being taught in a church that affirms homosexuality or rejects the inerrancy of the Bible. So, while just having one great big group of believers that meet as an undefined church in each city would be wonderful, it is not that simple. Moreover, would it even be practical? If we were all the same church, would we all meet together? If not, when would we start turning people away to go somewhere else? What about those who only want to be in a house church? There are so many issues here that go beyond doctrine. I think the most important thing is that we learn to talk together, find ways to do joint ministry together, and love one another even if we meet in a different building with different worship and different doctrinal views.
