There is frequent mention of a coming Christian union, or, as some express it, denominational union. There are frequent optimistic expressions of desire for such a union, and of demand for it, and of belief in the possibility of such a consummation. The one query that perplexes the divided professors of Christianity is, What shall be the creed and the polity of the united church? That the Lord has a people in all of them is settled by the fact that He calls them to come out of “Babylon.” This indicates that when all of His people shall have come out, there will be others left. Then there never will be a union of all who profess His name. There will be some whom the Lord will disown in the judgment; He will say to them, “I never knew you; depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.” They will have on them the “mark of the beast,” they will not have come out from the confusion and the corruption of “Babylon.” Those who heed His call are “they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” By this we know the creed and the polity of the truly united and recognized church of Christ.
