If you get a chance, or have children, there’s a good cartoon called The Story Keepers that is precisely about the invisible early church.

I also contended that there are topics of disagreement which aren't crucial for salvation and so are not worth dividing over and I believe the true church IS unified if you can look beyond these issues.
100%. I tend to believe that even on major doctrinal issues like whether we should try to keep the law, there can still be cohesion so long as unintentional adherence to the greater matters of the law is largely kept intact. I wouldn’t accept someone who disagreed teaching my local congregation, (presenting a case would be fine), but cooperating with them and treating them as brethren should still be in place.
The new thing with LGBT acceptance into even the clergy, though? Nope. Way too far. Denounced. Rebuked. Warning, and if not heeded, the dust will be knocked off my shoes atop their blasphemous Ishtar pulpit.
State as god-lite? Lots of “progressive” churches will absolutely advocate this. Nope. Rebuked. Accept it and denounce your intel “clergy” or dust off sandals.
I’ve actually seen a “churxh” (the x was an accidental typo, but I like it) in a hundreds years old building, with a giant sign taking up their entire exterior wall, blocking view of the stained glass windows telling the story of Christ, with the sign reading “PROTECT TRANS KIDS.” Maybe it’s Jonahish of me, but I won’t even rebuke those fiends.
Personally, I want to see the spirit start moving again. NOT seeing that happen is probably a major part of the falling away, and not seeing that movement happen is probably also a sign of our disobedience. We clean up, we repent, we start to see the fruits, people convert en masse. Nothing can stop what’s coming.
Frankly, as we’ve already seen, it only takes one, so if anyone wants, they can blame me. I can’t say it wasn’t my fault.
