The “one true church” is not a building or a denomination.

Jesus gave us a very clear answer - the “true church” is “those who follow me”.

If you believe Jesus is the Son of GOD, that He died on the cross for your sins, YOU ARE SAVED by GRACE and that not of yourselves, lest any man should boast .. and, you are considered a CHRISTIAN, after accepting Christ as your Savior. None of those actions require a building or a denomination.

That is correct.
Only one bunch of self -professed Christians on FR think they have the only way.

And that is the sign of a cult.

Very well stated for the church is not a building, nor a manmade organization, but rather it is everyone who receives Jesus Christ as his Redeemer. If a church group requires dues and a membership card to participate it is merely a club.

The Papists alway claim THEY are the only true church, that we are wrong because of some perceived division, but they never seem to remember this passage:

Mark 9:38 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.” 39But Jesus said, “Do not stop him, for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me. 40For the one who is not against us is for us. 41For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ will by no means lose his reward.
We Prods are certainly for Jesus, for them to say we are not is clearly against the teaching of our Lord and Savior. Of course they will hide behind the skirt of tradition.
