For Christians to be linked in association with ministries who do not preach the gospel of Christ is to incur moral guilt. A Union which can continue irrespective of whether its member churches belong to a common faith is not fulfilling any scriptural function.

It is error which breaks the unity of churches, and to remain in a denominational alignment which condones error is to support schism.
