Key Themes:
- Unity within the church
- Christians should build the church body by:
- Being more sensitive to believers of weak faith
- Being culturally sensitive to people when sharing the Gospel
- Church services should be done in a way that new people feel welcome and may come to know the Lord
- Spiritual gifts when done corporately should be done to build up the church rather than to edify one self
- Sex between a man and woman creates unity- so as the relationship between a believer and Christ creates unity, it is very sacred and should be kept within marriage.
- Baptism and the Lord's Supper (Communion) are very important, but even more so the trust and obedience to the Gospel
- The resurrection of Jesus and all who follow Jesus is a very important part of Christianity
