[Conservative til I die]

Actually, I agree with you on dispensationalism, but it does not make Protestantism in general accretionist, because Protestant churches have not set up mechanisms as the RCC and the Mormons have (the papacy and the president of the council of the twelve, respectively) to provide additional (or revised) dogmas for their respective churches.

But I do agree that Bible-faithful churches must be continually sensitive to the possibility that their mutual efforts at systematic theology (purportedly drawn from the Bible) can nonetheless amount to 'accretions by common consent.' Placing dispensational theories and 5-point Calvinist theology on a par with the Bible itself are good examples of this problem in Protestantism.

27,000 Protestant sects. End of story.

27,000 Protestant sects. End of story.

It's only the 'end of the story' if you think that Christ died to save organizations. He did not; He died "... so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life" whether they belong to any particular organziation or none at all. That, my friend, is both the beginning and the end of the story.

Neither the Chamber of Commerce or the RCC nor any other human organization can save you. Good wishes.
