Chapter V, The author made the following conclusions and suggestions: First, it's needed to increase the understanding of members of the congregation about the influence of disputes and divisions within the congregation for spiritual growth and evangelism, through sermons and reflections. Secondly, it is needed to improve the application of divisions within the Seventh Day Adventist congregations. Because, if the disagreeable spirit that leads to division is in the church, the church will not grow, mature and will not develop in spiritual growth and evangelism. Third, there is a very serious concern of pastors and congregation members about disputes and divisions within the congregation. Therefore, the Spirit of unity, closely united by mind and purpose always preserved in the congregation that will provide the fresh atmosphere in spiritual growth and evangelism.
