Chris.
The Holy Spirit is a Spirit of Unity and a uniting Spirit. There are some Believers who are hell bent on causing division and strife in Churches and Christian organisations. This is never God’s way. Whereas the Church is Holy and belongs to God, the Church should also be a place where people in bondage can come in and find freedom and a place where sinners are gifted with repentance. If there is disunity in the Church these things never happen.
