You are spot on about needing to approach people in other denominations. God never meant for his body to be entirely dismembered and turning on each other over who is doing it right. Sometimes "doing it right" looks like taking help when it is offered.
I do not mean this in any way to bring negativity to the conversation but to shed a little light--one thing I hear in Church of Christ all the time is that 20% of the people are doing all of the work and people need to learn to step up. Well I was not born into Church of Christ, I married into it. I embrace the good teachings but there are other things because of my experience in other churches that I reject.
None of which are "salvation issues". And yet, I am part of the 80% (sitting on fidgety hands LOL) because I'm not from the right denomination to serve.
For those of you who are weary at the work, and I feel for you I really do, reach out to God's Favorite Weirdos when you see them LOL We may not fit the mold but willing hands and willing hearts can do a lot of work to lift your burden and God brought us to CofC for a reason ❤️
