We are called to attain unity of faith, and be one in the Spirit, since we are born of one Spirit.
Only this remains impossible as long as we divide according to doctrine. The Lord has said his disciples will be recognized by their love for each other, and John says that if we do not love our brother, the love of God is not us.
This is how we recognize each other; because we have the same spirit, and the same love is in us, and by this we unite to form one church with those around us that are of this same spirit.
Today's division according to doctrine and beliefs is of the evil one, and sadly, even those who have of this Spirit choose to go to one meeting or another according to doctrine and beliefs. As it is said, the devil is attempting to deceive even the elect. We must be sure we are walking according to the spirit.
One aspect of following the Spirit is uniting according to it, and thus being with the brothers who are of it. We have great failures in this, and the church must awaken!
