ASCENSION

If a church divides or even worse, splits because of political viewpoints, then the guide of that church is a political spirit, not the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit will always guide us into multi-diverse, multi-cultural, and multi-layered mindsets to form a unique body of believers that gather around the Presence of God in the midst of differences. It is a beautiful display of the power of unity, not uniformity.

If you cannot be in relationships with people that have vastly different viewpoints than you, then you have been resting on the leaven of Herod and/or the Pharisee. You have a higher value for ideology rather than Christology.
