"…That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the MUTUAL FAITH

Any "grace believer" who knows me very well has probably heard me mention this verse. I enjoy discussing bible doctrines with anyone who will, because it stimulates me both to think and reasonably prove my own convictions. But I find particular pleasure in gathering with those of like-mind in "round table" conversation. I feel a special bond with people who understand the scriptures rightly divided and recognize the unique ministry of the apostle Paul. When you have been confused by denominational traditions and then acknowledge the mystery revelation, it is refreshing to fellowship with other saints who have been rescued from similar chaos. God said through Paul, "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment "(I Cor 1: IO) and again ...... let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing" (Phil. 3:16). Paul begged two believers to "be of the same mind in the Lord" (Phil. 4:2). Those of us who discern the differences between law and grace, prophecy and mystery, the twelve disciples/apostles and Paul (the Gentiles' apostle Rom. It: 13), etc. should be compelled to tell

everyone else who will listen. We know the distinctions of Paul's ministry compared to the ministry of Jesus Christ on earth. "We have the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak-" (2 Cor 4:13).

Right division is the ONLY solution for mutual faith.

Don't you agree?
