Separation of Church
I have to say this . So many believers so many workers in the field yet how many will pick up the cross and go all the way?
Do you know why there is division in the body of Christ?
Church hopping?
Well my comment to that is this Who is our church?
The actual church is the body of Christ. That is church there is not division in the true body of Christ. If you think there is your saying Christ was divided.
We are all to be in one accord with Christ the Father and Holy spirit. We are to welcome all who chooses to be of the same tree. To love them to forgive them for who can judge us except the Father.
So many people get tangled up in doctrines but there is only one word one father one Christ one holy spirit. I see nothing wrong with going to evangelize in other churches. Pastors go from place to place to minister Gods word but in all honesty Jesus Christ was all over ministering he didn’t have a building called a church for he knew the true church is not divided.
In fact Jesus told his disciples to go out and heal all the sick preach his word to all the people
Mark 16:15-18
15 He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.
16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;
18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."
from The Holy Bible: New International Version.
Col 1:24-29
24 Now I rejoice in what was suffered for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ's afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church.
25I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness-
26 the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints.
27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
28 We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.
29 To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me.
(from The Holy Bible: New International Version.
Heb 12:22-24
22 But you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, 23 to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the judge of all men, to the spirits of righteous men made perfect, 24
to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.

There is many buildings t worship in but there is only one church that church is Jesus.
, John 15:18-25
18" If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20 Remember the words I spoke to you: `No servant is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21 They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. 23 He who hates me hates my Father as well. 24 If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. 25 But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: `They hated me without reason.'
