Which of thirty thousand plus Protestant sects is Jesus returning to say is the true faith? You have to go further. God is not the author of confusion. He’s coming to bring all people to one belief.

Some people don't read their reply posts, this has been asked and answered. When the answer didn't fit the Baalist paradigm, I guess it was discarded.

As to end times, the DR version of the Bible must have left out the admonition regarding the rise and proliferation of false prophets, but then it must have also omitted: Ephesians 2:7-9

7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.

No prob, noob, stick around, you'll see it alot.

Tell me was it you xone? Someone said Jesus is returning
to say Baptists have the true faith. We’re all going to
become Baptists. And I asked...Southern Baptists? There
are various sects (denominations) of Baptists.

Ephesians 2:7-10
That he might shew in the ages to come the abundant riches of his grace, in his bounty towards us in Christ Jesus. [8] For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God; [9] Not of works, that no man may glory. [10] For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus in good works, which God hath prepared that we should walk in them.

[9] Not of works: as of our own growth, or from ourselves; but as from the grace of God.

Repeating yourself, sorry, these verses from Ephesians have been explained already. Paul is not talking about Luther’s “Faith Alone”, look at his words in context. He’s speaking of God’s grace, anything you do apart from God’s “grace” will not save you. Paul means our own works, not Luther’s mistaken no works!

The Apostles, the first Christians never taught “faith alone”, it’s from Martin Luther.
