Members JerryNumbers Posted May 4, 2011 Members Share Posted May 4, 2011 Your more than welcome to disagree. Are you also disagreeing with this, there is only one way to be saved, its by grace though faith in Jesus, not of self, its a gift? Many of those other denominations do not believe this. Most denominations teach works based salvation. Historically the number one reason there is so many denominations is because of false teachings.

Historically the number one reason there is so many denominations is because of false teachings. I have to agree with this because in looking at many denominations it seems most are there because of their standing with regards to certain or variations of certain false teachings. Whether they teach salvation through baptism, good works or other methods, most hold to a false teaching regarding salvation. After this, most also hold to various other false teachings.

Have you ever been to a Evangelical Free church, or a Conservative Bible Church? Theologically they are almost identical to most Baptist denominations. Even denominations like Church of Christ and Assembly of God, you have the theological point of beliving one can lose their salvation, but does believing that make one lost? There's a big difference between wrong and lost. I doubt any of us are dead on on everything, so let's hope our salvation isn't dependant on hving every nuance of theology correct. There's a core of beliefs that are crucial to salvation, and that's the real factor. They rest falls in to place if you are sincerely seeking Christ. I've met plenty of people saved in one denomination that then migrated to another one they reached a place where they were ready to accept the truth on some point (like once saved always saved or whether or not Baptism is required for salvation) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one way to be saved and if one adds works, baptism or anything else to that, then that's "another gospel", which Scritpure declares is no gospel at all.

And of course, you can't lose what you don't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
