I was raised Baptist and taught that churches “in error” or even “false churches” like the LDS contain genuine Christians who have through simple faith been born again, whether they really understand it or not. I agree, and say we can judge a church’s doctrine without judging the souls of individual members.

Do the Baptists really teach this?
That is amazingly Chistian!

Only God knows who makes it.

This is more or less precisely what the Catholic Church teaches — believe it or not.

I suspect there will be a good many surprises on Judgment Day — some pleasant, others horrible...
