I believe that the Sacraments are important for our salvation and help us do the will of God.

The Church is the Body of Christ and its members bound together doing God’s will are much stronger than we are as individuals.

I feel that working and praying with like minded (Christ-like) individuals makes us stronger. I have met too many evil persons that can led one into sinful behavior.

I too have seen too many instances of the incorrect interpretation of the Word (Protestants and Catholics alike). It is too bad that so many devout Christians allow themselves to be fooled. There is too much responsibility, too much power, and people are too vulnerable. It is like a moth to the flame.

It is best to remember that all of the excesses and extravagances are unimportant and a distraction and that a direct relationship with God is most important.

Praying often and directly to God, acknowledging our sins to Him and finally recognizing Christ's gift. That is all that is needed (IMHO).

Also, I say this with reservation because I am humbled before God and understand the respect that is due to Him. I am not an expert nor do I profess to be. I am only a flawed sinner like the rest trying to sort it all out.

And the Mormons believe they can baptize the dead into heaven ..

And the JWs believe only 177,000 will get to heaven ...

Believing is not the measure of truth
