“No assembly, no church, no movement, no testimony, no fellowship, is justified in its existence from God’s standpoint except insofar as Christ is expressed by it.”
The house Church movement in China has some separations into different networks. Yet this underground Church is unified. They all agree with each other and declare there are no denominations or sects in China but one faith, one Baptism and one Lord.
Of course there is the activity of some cults and even some denominations yet surprisingly there is a great unity in the body of Christ there, just like we find in the Book of Acts. At times we feel the prayer of Jesus for the unity of the body of Christ
rarely sees fulfillment, but not so in China!
Yet as persecution—even worldwide persecution—ensues against the Church there will be unity that will come, which will only be explainable as a miracle. There are such carnal strong walls that men have built up against each other in the body of Christ that for all those walls to crumble requires the power of God Himself.
This will happen as God unifies and gathers the body of Christ in local areas for a last days testimony
of His grace and love to a lost world. May those who are gathering under the Headship of Jesus Christ seek to find unity with any true believer no matter what sect they are involved in or church they still attend.

“Christianity was birthed in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and will only continue as we have this empowering from above. God is always looking for the willing vessels that will trust Him afresh for the impossible.” from: Principles for the gathering of Believers under the Headship of Jesus Christ.Since 2012, a growing group of believers in North America started to warn of coming persecution to western countries. This message was shared in a variety of ways. One of the responses to this was to compile a book taking principles from underground Churches around the world of how they thrived under pressure and persecution. The volume, Principles for the Gathering of Believers, had in a short time over 50,000 downloads in ebook format and much interest was shown. Some new house churches started through this and other existing groups were encouraged.
