Yes, you ARE. That article represents the position well.
So are many other groups.

I don't find labels and terms to be divisive. I find them to be very helpful in communication.
> I hate terms that attemt to divide the precious body of Christ.
Terms enable communication. They do not divide.

I love those terms....and find they help discussions.
> Why can't we Ray just all be Christians and promote the unity of the spirit through a bond of peace?
"Christian" is a label..UNITY is a term....SPIRIT is a term....'bond of peace' is a phrase (term). YOU didn't succeed in escaping them.
> Why don't we just practice the ONE ANOTHERS in love? (see below)

Without labels we can't talk....would be hard to practice the one anothers without them.
