That’s the problem when your faith is your church.

For those of us whose faith is in Christ alone for salvation, the denominational affiliation is secondary. Therefore, pointing out error or inconsistencies in the denomination are not viewed either as an attack on our faith or us personally.

A person’s reaction to pointing out error in their church tells a lot about what they’re really trusting in.

That’s the truth. I often wonder how some expect to stand before God and blame the “church” when they find out they were wrong. It’s as if they think they have some sort of shield by being part of some organization.
