Are there devout Christians in denominations? No. Are there children of God in denominations? Yes, but only because they chose to leave the safety of the one fold, the Lord’s church, to follow the doctrines and commandments of men. Those who have done so must repent and return to the church of our Lord before it is eternally too late!

Biblically and doctrinally quite correct.

The question then becomes, of course, one of which group that claims to be "the Lord’s church" actually is. If any.

The truth of this question is not immediately apparent to an unbiased observer. :)

No it isn’t, but since you are Catholic I can see how you would see it that way.

Actually no. It is God that takes, makes and plants believers in the Body of Christ. It is He that saves, perseveres and preserves them. He has taken them from the dead from every tongue, tribe and nation for His own purposes and given them Faith.

It is not up to man and your salvation is not defined by what earthly church you attend, but by His work and Faith which He has planted in folks like us.

If Salvation is determined by man, man can undo it just that fast and upon a whim. No one would be saved. But thank God, Salvation is by God just as Jonah said "Salvation is of the Lord" - not man.

“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
