Did He come down from heaven and become incarnate again in each of those years? Or did He did He allegedly come down *spiritually*, as claimed the Montanist heretics, and Joseph Smith?My point is that there is only one Church, and in that Church are Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians, Catholics, and anyone else who has Christ as his savior and Lord.
Is your salvation dependent upon your membership in the Roman Catholic Church?

You didn't answer my question. Any heresy or sect can claim Christ founded it. But this was precisely how the early fathers refuted the heretics; the heretics could not trace their origin back to the
incarnate Christ. Only the Catholic Church can trace her origin back to the incarnate Christ.

Membership in? No. Communion with? Yes.
