My wife’s best friend (a preacher’s daughter in the CofC) breathlessly informed me that the only books of the Bible that I needed for my salvation were Luke, Acts, and Paul.

I thought salvation comes from faith and faith from God, not from the Bible. But they make things up as they go along...

Later, she admitted to my wife that perhaps, just perhaps, even some Catholic might be admitted to Heaven. On a case by case exceptional basis only.

How does she know that? Is she on God's Rescue Board or something? :)

They sure do. I am just fine with the entire Bible, including the Deuterocanonicals. It’s funny how different denominations focus on different books. The WWCoG focuses entirely on Revelation, for instance.

Many of our separated brethren believe that they can give policy to God. It is only a short step from believing that one knows one’s eternal salvation pre Judgement, to believing that one knows others’ eternal salvation pre Judgement.
