Disbelief in the Trinity will surely lead to hell.

Nonsense...People are saved by accepting Jesus Christ as their Savior...Understanding the process often comes later...

Creation of one’s own church will surely lead to hell.

More nonsense...I two or more are gathered together, Jesus is in the midst of the bunch...

When a person gets saved, he/she is the church...The Body...Has nothing to do with a religious organization of sinners, some possibly saved and some not...

The 'church' is spiritual...It is NOT physical...It doesn't matter how big and expensive your church is, or even if you have one... If you are not in the 'spiritual' church, you aren't in the church at all and you are not a Christian...

Privately interpreting Scripture will surely lead to hell.

As your church should well know since it is the King of private interpreters...But alas, you are wrong again...

Fortunately, you don't have to be right about too many things in the scripture other than the way to salvation...If you got THAT right, you'll still make it to Heaven, and lucky for you guys...

Great comment. Reminds me of what one of my friends said, "Sitting in a church doesn't make a person a Christian any more than sitting in a garage makes him a car." We have to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior first. Good works follow, not as a means to salvation (since all fall way short of the Glory of God) but as a loving expression of that salvation...and for the love of Him who gave us Himself.

The Trinity is not a process. If you disbelieve the Trinity, then you do not understand the Christian understanding of Jesus. If you do not understand this, then you cannot accept Him as your Saviour because you cannot know what it mean. If you do not accept Him as your Saviour, then you don’t get into Heaven.

There is no Biblical support for the concept that when two or three are gathered, then that is the authorization to create a new Church. And if one studies alone, does that preclude Jesus being there?

The Bible itself precludes private interpretation, at least mine does. Does yours/
