So, say my brother thinks that I'm a heretic, which church should we go to in order to settle our dispute? The one with thousands of contradictory doctrines?
Do you treat all Protestants as pagans or tax collectors then?

For the most part minor denominational theological differences. If they follow the precepts I outlined above about what a church is, then your church is no different than mine. We may disagree about denominational issues but that's not going to stop either one of us from getting into Heaven

I have 100 percent regard for a church's authority. The current Pope is sort of like Billy Graham, or Charles Spurgeon, or John Wesley, or Charles Stanley, or fill in the blank of your favorite pastor. Just another minister of God. He tells the church he leads what to do or how to act, others tell the churches they lead what to do or how to act.
