Are you a Baptist, a Methodist, a Church of Christ, a Charismatic, a Non-Denominational, a Roman Catholic, C&MA, an Evangelical...etc.? Are you of Wesley, Calvin, Simpson, MacArthur, Hagee, Chan, Cymbala, Evans...etc?
It is amazing how long this list could go and yet how it must grieve the Lord when His Church can get so caught up in sizing each other up and making celebrities out of pastors/teachers instead of lifting the name of Jesus Christ!
We quench the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, crucified for our sins, when we begin making more out of a label or person than we do Jesus and Jesus alone!
1 Corinthians 3:4 For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," are you not mere men? (1 Cor. 3:4 NAU)
