All churches have people in it who are not truly saved-even Baptist ones!

Amen, brother! To this day, my most vivid memory of being a counselor at a Billy Graham crusade (here in St. Louis '99) was at his altar call, when he specifically reached out to pastors who might not be saved. I was blown away. :) At that time I had not even considered that possibility, but he was absolutely right. A person can have absolutely any station in life and yet not be saved. The Spirit really grew me in sanctification that day, and I am forever thankful.

Amen.

Belonging to a particular church doesn't mean one is saved, one has to be part of the real Church, the spiritual church, the Body of Christ.

And that only occurs with the New Birth at which point the Holy Spirit takes the individual and unites him forever with Christ (1Cor.12:13)

Those are the 'wheat' all the rest are the 'chaff'.
