While I am a Baptist by faith and practice, I make no qualms that we Baptists will have exclusive run of Heaven. But I also firmly believe that some denominations will be rare in representation in God’s Kingdom.
 
  It is Elijah's lament - repackaged  ;^)
 
 1 Kings 19:14-18
 14.  He replied, "I have been very zealous for the LORD God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, broken down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too."
 15.  The LORD said to him, "Go back the way you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you get there, anoint Hazael king over Aram.
 16.  Also, anoint Jehu son of Nimshi king over Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah to succeed you as prophet.
 17.  Jehu will put to death any who escape the sword of Hazael, and Elisha will put to death any who escape the sword of Jehu.
 18.  Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel--all whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and all whose mouths have not kissed him."  (NIV)

Or a fancy way of describing the remaining “practicing Christians” as a remnant!
