By simply categorizing, we often create subcategories that detract from the more important, all-inclusive category of the body of Christ. Before we know it, whether people are pro-life or pro-choice, Calvinist or Arminian, or black or white is more important than whether they are part of the family of God. Further, these subcategory distinctions may start out as mere descriptive labels (such as pro-life or pro-choice), but they often deteriorate into value labels (Right Christian and Wrong Christian) that afford our group higher status.
