What supersedes the calling(s) of God?

Church addresses in the same city (about 80,000 give or take), perhaps the overall outreach focuses are in opposite directions or different areas....

There is no reason to care if the churches aren't hostile to each other. Of course, you probably don't know anything about that kind of thing happening...

If I were looking for a church one of the things I would look for is how the leadership gets along with other leaders INSIDE their own circles -- especially one congregation with another. If a church can't get along with the people within it's own denomination then there's something lacking in the fruit department.

unfortunately, the answer you would mostly likely get is "we get along fine".... its really tough to accurately gauge that aspect unless you become apart of the church and find out for yourself.... or know local ministries that could vouch for the church ahead of time....

Yes, I do as a matter of fact.

I also know of a city much smaller than yours that has several UP churches and several other Oneness type of churches as well. There have been problems over the years and yet there is no doubt but what the largest number of Christians in that city (percentage-wise) are most likely Oneness Pentecostals when you combine them all together. And the work of God goes FORWARD.

I was thinking of all the stories we have on the forum where neighboring churches aren't talking to each other. But you probably realized that.

I am not suggesting that retail stores or Apostolic Churches be limited. I am only suggesting that particular labels should be spread out instead of creating potential conflicts in relatively small areas given the great need in other areas.

no one mentions walgreens???



We have then ACROSS the STREET from each other....

Yes. You would absolutley have to become somewhat involved and see for yourself what the attitude is.
