To What Should We Be Loyal?

What do you think of the person who says, “My parents were members of this denomination. I was born in it, and I’ll die in it.”

“Oh,” you say, “I think he’s wrong to talk like that.”

“Yes, but why is he wrong?”

“I suppose because he assumes his denomination is right and will always be right.”

“Well, then, to what denomination or group should he be loyal?”

“I guess he shouldn’t be loyal to any denomination, because no denomination is perfect.”

“One final question. If he shouldn’t be loyal to any denomination or group of Christians, to what should he be loyal?”
