Ultimately it’s nothing more than a form of solipsistic pragmatism. What’s right is whatever works for and satisfies me.

"Jesus chooses to save through His Church"

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Sounds to me more like God saved us through his Son!

Rome, Pentecostals, Calvanists, etc....

I believe in the WORD.

Which is what Calvinists believe. We don’t believe you are saved by a Reformed denomination, holding to our understanding of Scripture, but by faith in Christ alone, as taught in Scripture. That’s what believers across all church bodies believe, Baptists, Methodists, nondenoms*, and on and on believe.

*I believe that there is no such thing as a nondenominational church, but that’s for another thread.

Amen! “Heaven and Earth shall pass away but my WORD shall remain forever”

Might be worth going into sometime.

I was betting it was ‘football’ with a beer sacrament.

Narcissism. As old as the fall of man.
