“Those who insist their denomination is the only way to salvation and their doctrine is the only way to have communion with God put themselves as gods.”

Maybe, maybe not. Our Lord founded ONE Church, not many. But those who claim that all are saved and that any belief is as good as any other certainly cannot claim to be followers of the Word.

On that we agree. And before He came, God set up ONE chosen people to follow him. That was changed when Jesus came and broke the old religious requirements. No longer were just the priests able to meet with the Living God; we all could have a personal relationship with Him.

But those who claim that all are saved and that any belief is as good as any other certainly cannot claim to be followers of the Word.

And I don't see anyone here arguing that. If you do not profess in a personal faith in God and a relationship through Jesus Christ, I will gladly tell you that you are doomed to eternal death.

However, if you profess your faith in Christ, then I will accept that. It is not my role to judge whether your profession is good enough, or your doctrine is "pure". That is between you and God. I may have my opinion, but I will not voice it nor declare it.

I will not condemn you; go and sin no more. If only more Christians would follow that statement!
