I have noticed that they seldom if ever post or use the official positions of any of the Protestant denominations but only use their misrepresentations or what they would like to portray Protestants to believe.

OK, which denomination do you both accept as the “One True Church” and where is the website that has the “official positions” of that [particular sect?

It's called scripture or more comonly the Bible. It can be found online, in most bookstores, and contains the entirety of my beliefs.

No denomination is the *one true church*.

There is nothing in Scripture that states that the *one true church* is located or headquartered anywhere.

The church is the body of Christ, comprised of all born again believers throughout the church age, where ever they live and where ever they worship.

The church is an organism not an organization.

That is the question I have asked both in the past and received the same hooey for an answer.

Can't say as I blame them; Cult members don't like to name the devil that spawned them.

There is no One True Visible Church.

Actually, there are Many Visible Churches, of which some portion of which are Truer Visible Churches, each of which is the assembly of immersion-baptized believer-disciples in a particular locale, subscribing to a Scriptural statement of faith, keeping all the commands of Christ watchfully secure without change, and maintaining its purity through strong preaching and church discipline.

Today, many of these will have created websites, enough to get an electronic cross-section of their doctrinal emphases. If you can't find them, it's because you didn't look. Don't bring any excuses here that you can't find the secondary differences that separate Presbyterians, Episcopals, Lutherans, Congregationalists, Baptists, and other common like-minded congregations. Do your own work.

Don't try to build a case that they are so divergent that nobody in them are unsaved. That won't wash, and it will just take up time, or be ignored.
