Author Description

Christ is the basis of Christian unity, and when Paul exhorts believers to be "likeminded" he is not entreating them to comply with the same code or creed, or to conform to the same confession or catechism. Rather he is appealing to them to accept others as Christ, Himself, accepts them. In this publication Daniel Andersen (editor of This I Believe) opens his heart to his readers confessing that, in the past, he would have reacted with some indignation to those who differed with him doctrinally. However, his continual study of the Scriptures over many years has led him to conclude that, even though certain doctrines may be of supreme importance to him, they should not obscure the one basic fact that Christians of all persuasions are to accept whosoever the Savior accepts.
