My Church is the Only One That is Right

How can people come up with this statement and believe it themselves?

1. Your church has been around less than 100 years.
2. Only you and the 10,00 people in your Diocese know about your church.
3. What about those who will never hear about your church? Will they be lost too?
4. Why doesn't the Bible mention anything about your church?

Re: My Church is the Only One That is Right

Are you saying that kind of thinking is spewed from the pulpit, and it is adopted by the membership?

Personally, if it were me, they could say it, but I wouldn't believe it.

There is nothing wrong with saying your Church is the True Church if it is true. But if you deny others who also are then you err.

Re: My Church is the Only One That is Right

If you are telling folks that they can't get to heaven unless they go through your church then you are still saying your church is the ONLY one that is right.

If you are saying that the teaching you receive there is true... great! We all hope that it is! However, boxing Jesus into one very small church/denomination is wrong.

But even you Steve must admit that One Body does not mean one particular church or one particular church organization.

EVERYONE outside the Acts 2:38 message is lost and not all of them are saved.
