Let's say I create my own church and the two tenants for salvation are...

1) Being a faithful follower of Christ

2) Being an active, participating, member of MY church.

Is my church a "Christian" church or is it something else? My answer is that it's something else. To me, a Christian Church believes that the only requirement for salvation is to be a faithful follower of Christ.

What do you say?

You’d be better to tell people about Jesus and the gospel and let them be part of his church because they believe the gospel

let's think this out: "bound by a fear or have another reason not to leave". the Holy Spirit overcomes ALL problems. so imagine a catholic thinking he or she is born again & let's say for 20 years. said person is missing the message about forsaking fears. & leaving. now cogitate on someone who is b.a. said person will recognize & answer the H.S.'s message to release fears & leave. remember 2nd Corinthians 5:17: "therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, old things aRe passed away, behold, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW"! "see the light"? when, 30 years from now? doesn't make sense. "correct doctrine.... soul saved..." that's a switch from topic. here's another way to look at this: if what you said is true about fears & another reason to leave, then millions of people, by the law of averages, would suffer the same issue. no, can't happen. i don't believe someone can be b.a. but remain catholic.

We'll have to agree to disagree.
