Since most denominations ascribe to the essentials of the faith, we should be able to worship and fellowship together. Why is that a possible problem. It may be because when we begin to peel some of the layers off some denomination's beliefs, we find differences in understanding of the essentials. A man-centered or works belief system cannot be fit into the essentials of the faith. It may depend on how well can we mask those differences in whether we can profit from worshipping together.
