While there are many denominations and doctrinal flavours among all of us, I think that the following Biblical truths are trans-denominational:
The 10 God-Given Rights of the Believer:
1- We are new creatures in Christ Jesus and we have a right to believe that new MEANS new
2- We have 100% Victory because of the Blood Atonement and we have a right to accept that Victory because of what Jesus did for us on the Cross of Calvary 2000 years ago
3- We have the right of being used by God in whatever way He sees fit, be it Tongues, Healing, Discernment, giving to the needy or any other thing which He calls us to
4- We have the right to refuse to bow down to thosew who would seek to convince us that "God doesn't do that today".
5- We have the right to join in fellowship with any Believer of any denominational affiliation if that believer is soundly saved
6- We have the right to expose false prophets by name and warn the Brethren of their approach
7- We have the right to hear from God on a personal level, in accordance with His Word, and we have a right to close our ears to those who would falsely claim "God doesn't speak like that today".
8- We have a right to hold to calvinistic theology, arminian theology or "non denominational" theology....no one can take that from us...yet we do NOT have the right to use our theology as an excuse for sin.
9- We have the right to disagree with one another
10- Lastly, we have a right to walk with God, obey His Word and turn from those who would tell us we're "not doing it right"

"a right to accept that Victory because of what Jesus did for us on the Cross of Calvary 200 years ago"
Lol. Someone needs a refresher course in history... Just a typo I'm sure, but that made me laugh.
