In this week's episode, Pastor J.D. explores the biblical basis for denominations while addressing common criticisms. While denominations may not be explicitly mentioned in the Bible, the concept of cooperation in the mission of the church is prevalent. Denominations serve as a practical tool for collaboration in advancing the mission of God.
* Denominations are not explicitly mentioned in the Bible.
* Cooperation among churches is a biblical principle.
* Different levels of cooperation require varying levels of doctrinal conformity.

* A unified authority does not guarantee doctrinal purity.
* Protestantism allows for recognition of valid churches outside its own.
* Denominations can facilitate mission advancement.
* The Bible is the ultimate authority for Christians.
* Historical context is crucial in understanding church authority.
* Denominations are tools for cooperation, not division.
