When Christians of different faiths gather together in His name, is He not with all of them, or is He just with those who believe the right way?

If they've put their faith in Christ for salvation, it doesn't matter where they worship.

I really believe that some churches offer more Scriptural teachings and have a higher percentage of people who are truly saved than others, but it's not like if you belong to a church, everyone there is saved.

Churches don't save and churches don't damn. They are places to go for fellowship and worship. They should not even be the primary means of spiritual growth in our relationship with Christ.

I do not know where any of the other non-Catholic FReepers attend for worship services, nor do I care. If they have put their trust in JESUS for their salvation, not church membership, not baptism, not communion, not any other religious ritual, then they are saved and going to heaven.

Jesus is with any believers who gather in His name. THAT was His promise. Not that He was in any one church or denomination and people had to go there to find Him.

Acts 4:11-12 This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

I would like to see you try that in a mosque.
