Is the church of Christ a denomination? What about the Restoration Movement?

Is the church of Christ a denomination? How do we respond to those who say we are members of a denomination based on the Restoration Movement? Jesus promised to build his church and prayed for unity among his followers. As long as we are seeking to practice Christianity based on the instructions he left us in the New Testament and uniting on the basis of his word we can give him what he desires. Episode Resources:Passages Referenced: Matthew 16L16-18; John 17:17, 17:20-21; Acts 2:38-47; 1 Corinthians 1:10, 4:17; Romans 12:4-8; Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 3; 1 Timothy 4:1-5; Ephesians 1:20-23, 2:11-18, 3:5-8, 4:4, 5:23; Luke 8:11; Nehemiah 8:8; 2 Kings 22; 2 Chronicles 29-31
