***I wrote to the executive board of the SBC not long after Mr. Page was elected president, protesting that and his embracing apostasy. No response. I hate false teaching and it has been infecting churches in all denominations, SBC included.***
Perhaps you might entertain the notion that man-made religions will all go down the same path eventually. There is one path that one might follow - that of Jesus.
The RC EDIFICE is the MOST MAN-MADE religion of the last 2000 years.
Whatever original anointing MIGHT have resided in A FEW Roman hierarchy folks
has long ago leaked off, if not been sent running
by all the power mongering, arrogance, blindness, man-centered idolatries etc.

The truth is any church can fall into apostasy, just like Israel did over and over again in the OT. In spite of organizational apostasy, there may or may not be a remnant of the elect that exixt not because of the state of affairs in said organization, but because God wills it so.
Rome became officially apostate in 1545 when it declared
If any one saith, that by faith alone the impious is justified; in such wise as to mean, that nothing else is required to co-operate in order to the obtaining the grace of Justification, and that it is not in any way necessary, that he be prepared and disposed by the movement of his own will; let him be anathema.
Many previously sound denominations have similarly slipped into apostasy over the last couple of hundred years.
My own denomination flirted briefly with the absolutely Romanesque New Perspectives On Paul. Thank God it was shouted down. Had it not I would have been forced to find a new home in which worship.
If one follows Jesus Himself, that’s one thing. If they follow the one true church, they may not always make it. It’s Christ who is our salvation. None other. But you knew that.
