I entered the Inter­net look­ing for some mate­r­ial for cells, and I saw your Sun­day School Class mate­r­ial which was inter­est­ing, then I saw the evan­gel­i­cal tracts and I saw what you think of cells. It made me sad to see the words ‘Fun­da­men­tal Bap­tist’, and I don’t know if I am cor­rect or not, but you are protes­tants right? Why do you attack and des­credit other churches? I believe that this is very bad, and that is the cause why our churches have no cred­i­bil­ity, because we our­selves crit­i­cize our own selves instead of unit­ing and work­ing together to extend the king­dom of God, so why don’t you read about what ‘faith’ means and under­stand that pastor.”

DCox Com­ment — Since when did a prac­tice that is not seen in the Bible become the test of ortho­doxy? The cell group sys­tem was hatched by a Hin­duist Pen­te­costal (David Yonggi Cho) for the express pur­pose of hav­ing the largest church in the world (build­ing his own per­sonal empire) and works using prin­ci­pally women in the lead­er­ship and teach­ing roles (about 80% of all cell groups lead­ers are women). Unity is not going to hap­pen in a world plagued by heresy and every­body break­ing with the norms and com­mands of God. Unity exists only when we all believe and prac­tice what God has dic­tated, oth­er­wise unity in any other con­text will mean true Chris­tians sac­ri­fic­ing their doc­trine and prac­tice to be united with the disobedient.
