this is my point exactly, who amongst the ‘bible alone’ churches isnt being ‘deluded’ then??? who decided that church had it right and the other didnt?

Church is not about buildings, or organizations, or denominations.

Belonging to one, being baptized into one, attending one every Sunday without fail, does nothing to procure salvation.

What God calls the church is the body of believers, where ever they are in space or time.

What's right is Scripture, the Bible.

And what each denomination believes is usually stated in their statement of faith and are not so wildly divergent as all that. If they are, could you provide some documentation to support your contention? Otherwise, there is no need to take your claims seriously. They can be relegated to the trash heap of uninformed opinion.

Ive borrowed, adopted, rather plagiarized a phrase from you (posted upthread) 1st paragraph, within 3rd sentence. It was such a descriptive phrase...

Without pointing more directly to it, for various reasons, including I do not speak for you --- for you are fully able to do that quite clearly for yourself, as you have long & consistently demonstrated here on these pages, I would still wish to acknowledge credit where it is due.

Great points.
