Little Red Book Ministry

You must never allow yourself to be drawn into a loud or acrimonious discussion in front of unsaved people. This will either bring ridicule on the Church and our Savior from those that are watching, or it will convince those who may be wondering that there is nothing about Christianity that is any different from any other philosophy of life.

B. When circumstances of life put you together. . . .
It can be a great blessing to work or go to school together with a Christian of another denomination. Many people, in many denominations, truly love the Lord and His Kingdom work. These mature Christians can provide wonderful fellowship and encouragement. It is usually easy to find common grounds over which to fellowship and on which to concentrate. It is also much easier to respect another person’s viewpoint on doctrinal differences if they have enough sense to not make an issue of it. It is important (and usually easy) to establish a strong relationship with such people without compromising your beliefs.

1. Work together to win others to Christ
It is often much easier to put doctrinal differences aside if you are channeling your energies into a common, important goal. The number one area of cooperation with members of other denominations should be to win others to our Lord. Other areas in which it is proper to cooperate with people of different denominations would be in various areas of community service. People in need are the responsibility of all Christians and our service to them often opens a door to present the gospel to them.
