Obviously, the intent was to highlight what the original Gospel was(="Jesus saves") as compared to some modern presentations that propagate another gospel of a different kind (="the Church saves"), so that the reader might begin to appreciate that the True Gospel is still available and shared.

Those who are complaining of anti-Catholicism here, no doubt must be the ones who also believe in the "other" gospel that their Church saves them.

Those who are complaining of anti-Catholicism here, no doubt must be the ones who also believe in the "other" gospel that their Church saves them.

That the local assembly of fellow disciples summoned^{κλητός} to regularly meet together for the breaking of bread, instruction in the Apostles' doctrine, and sharing life's exigencies in prayer and care is not without great merit, for it is God's agent to excite progressive sanctification.

And, like a city on a hill, should be broadcasting the rays of the Gospel to light men's path to the Cross.

But to displace the Christ of The Cross as the Saving Agent and insert a fallible organization of humans in His place is an unconscionable unhumble overestimation of the authority delegated to it by the Master.

He has a solution for it:

Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works;
or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent."
(Rev. 2:4,5 AV)

"To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word,
it is because there is no light in them."
(Is. 20:8 AV)

Let the denominational Protestant bishoprics likewise hear what the Spirit saith to the churches of all time.
