A Reprise of Who Is My Brother?
A quiet revolution is taking place among the churches of Christ, raising troubling questions about identity and fellowship.
Never before in the history of the restoration movement has so dramatic a change occurred in such short a time with such little opposition."
Is baptism essential for forgiveness and salvation?
How should we regard believers whose doctrine is different?
Can there be Christian unity without compromising truth?
For a younger audience who may have missed Who Is My Brother?, Smith proposes a comprehensive five-fold fellowship:
Universal Fellowship (The Family of Man)
Faith Fellowship (Like Family)
"In Christ" Fellowship (The Extended Family)
Conscience Fellowship (Close Family)
Congregational Fellowship (Immediate Family)
