I know I fail to spell check and at times am a little dyslexic, and sometimes I'm typing too fast and add letters where they don't belong. My intention isn't to obfuscate any points though and I appreciate your patience.
The church of God movement is a step away from the segregation of Christianity through doctrine. We have jewish, muslim, pentacostal, orthodox and evangelical members. Well, we don't have a set membership really (we do have a voting membership), if you're a Christian you're a member. We try and keep the dogma to a minimum. For example : Some churches say that We believe in God and god is this, and that and everyone must do this but not that, etc. Where we say We believe in God and leave the individual path to that up to the individual. Some structure is of course necessary as an organization, but it's kept to a minimum where possible.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
