Were I an RCC, I'd be appalled at hyper-denominationalist Catholic fundamentalism. Above all, it is unloving toward one's brothers and sisters.

How is it "unloving" if it is true? Christ has only one bride, not thousands of brides. He is not a polygamist. He said He would build His Church (singular, not plural). Throughout the history of the Church there have been legions of heresies and heretics. Why would that suddenly change in the last four-hundred years? None of the Baptist denominations is older than five-hundred years. So none of them could have been been the Church Christ was referring to when He said, "I will build My Church".

To the angel of the church at Ephesus....

To the angel of the church at Sardis...

To the angel of the church at Pergamum....

To the angel of the church at Thyratira...

I have an entirely different take on what He meant by “one church” than you do.

“How can they hear without a preacher.” is what the bible says. Therefore, how did any of us come to Christ?

(And that includes Baptists.)
