You are not seeing this in context, which is that the minority dissent mentioned is irrelevant, as universal or comprehensive unity is not what is being argued, as sola ecclesia does not produce this either.
This is what I've been arguing all along. So I guess we were talking past each other.
Apparently. Both can produce a basic unity as well as see divisions. By Scriptural manifestation of the truth souls were persuaded by holy men, (2Cor. 4:2), and God will sort out the tares from the wheat.
Later
24 million is a healthy minority on Christology. The salvation by election branch is likely as large as the Arminian... Baptism? Lutheran or Baptists? Real Presence in the Eucharist?
And we are only talking about congregations and confessions, not even counting all the individual sola scriptura beliefs.
God will sort out the tares from the wheat.
What false belief does this exegesis not excuse?
