Re-Posted from "Meditations of a Charismatic Calvinist Who Does Not Speak in Tongues"
Some would equate Christian unity to uniformity. That the ideal is that
of a series of people exactly alike who are virtual clones of each
other. But the Bible calls for a unity in diversity, different people
with different abilities working together to accomplish God's purposes
(1 Corinthians 12:12-27; Romans 12:3-8; 1 Peter 4:10,11). This does not
mean that we are individualists each following what we think best but
that we bring together our own individual contributions within a common
principle and purpose (Philippians 2:1-11; Ephesians 4:11-16; Galatians
3:26-29). This careful balance is harder to produce then simply pressing
everyone into a mold or encouraging them to follow their own
inclinations. But it is what God has called us to.
