When Christ spoke of the Church, He always used the singular — and yet now there are over 40,000 different denominations of Christians in the world, with the number only rising daily. If these Churches hold conflicting views, can all of them be the “True Church”? Can there be such a thing as a “True Church”, and does it still exist? Join host Michael Voris as he answers these questions and shows that the One True Church is the Catholic Church
There is one church.. All who place their faith in Jesus as seen in Scripture are members of that one church.
Have you accepted Jesus alone as your personal Savior?

The point is the Bible is about Christ, why He came, what He did, the Father's plan from before eternity. Christ is given His by the Father, Christ's righteousness covers all of His. One would think that if talking of the church that you would take God's Word for who is saved and how.
All the additional requirements as to what is required to believe before salvation can be yours are and can be answered thusly.
John 20: 30-31. By the inspired Gospel of John, the disciple Jesus loved, the son to Jesus' mother, the Apostle who delivered the visions of heaven contained in Revelation. From that John we can READ that the everything needful to believe for life in Christ's name, is written in John's Gospel.
Despite Jesus' admonition in Matt 11:28-30 about His yoke being easy and His burden light, the Catholic church has seen fit to add numerous other requirements for salvation, coincidentally, none of which are in John's Gospel, Not that being a Christian would be an easy road with no persecution or that Satan and his minions, the world and our own flesh wouldn't interfere, but that the legalism and the burdensome system of works wasn't the way of Christ.
The free grace of God drawing men to Him, the free gift of faith that He grants, the free power to live a life in Christ are all given to men. Salvation has always been all God's work. From the sinless life of Jesus to His death on the cross where it WAS finished for all men. To His resurrection and ascension to the throne, where He rules, where He will judge on the Last Day, where He destroys the enemies of God by His Own Word, where He gathers His sheep to Himself. That is the story of the salvation of the Lord, it really is all about Him.
Catholics, having no clue at all what the true church is, will NEVER understand it.
As long as they think of the church as an organization or denomination, they will remain clueless about it.
Thanks for demonstrating that.
