Jesus’ ministry also had a strong opposition to the denominational divisions of the time- man’s ‘churchanity’ being more important than his relationship with God. A good freeper once said: “A living, breathing relationship with the risen Christ that cannot be found in creed, religion, catechism, or baptism.”

That church you linked to seem to be all about ‘creed, religion, catechism, and baptism’ and not at all about a living, breathing relationship with Christ. It has one mention of salvation on its site that I could find, an even that mention buried the relationship with Christ below a specific type of baptism they believe you must have to be saved.

I find it too often that those whose mission is to expose error with other denominations do so at the sacrifice of promoting the relationship with Christ. They have the Pharisee’s error that Christ railed against, sacrificing the relationship with God with the legality of paper.

Obviously you didn’t read the site then. There is one entire page devoted to savation and other references throughout the site. I can assure you I’m no Pharisee. Jesus Christ miraculously delivered me out of a pit of drunkeness and drug addiction. I am just as quick to denounce any Baptist who does not proclaim the Word of God, and there are some who don’t.
