The Parable of the Tares definitely militates against that particular viewpoint.

Now there's a ten dollar word...But no, that's not true...Perhaps you make the same error the Catholics make with that parable...They use that verse to claim there are tares in the Church...All one has do is read the scriptures...It tells you right there that the context is the world, NOT the church...

The wheat and tares are in the world...The wheat only is the church...

It's an error easy to make if you think that the organization is the true church.

There are Christians and non-Christians who make up all the denominations and attend them.

But the true church, the true body of Christ, is comprised of only believers.
