In regards to Church of Christ churches, my understanding is that they do not believe in denominations or any governing body above the local church. They will fellowship with other CoC churches, yet they feel it imperative to remain independent. I am not too familiar with the CoC, but my understanding in their rejections of denominations is that they do not find this to be scriptural. What would be the best argument against this?
I think it safe to say the majority of us are members of churches that belong to denominations, so we don't have a problemw with this, yet I am finding it difficult to explain to someone that denominations are acceptable, commendable, and/or biblical. I do believe that accountability would be a argument for a church beyond the local congregation, but what might be some verses to back this up?
