Baptist as we often (not always) know it today is an offshoot of the Church of England, which of course is an offshoot of the Roman Catholic church. The Reformation itself is an offshoot of the Roman Catholic church. In lands where the Orthodox Church is the standard thing, there are various other offshoot Christian denominations we would probably view as odd.

In the end, Christ knows those who are His. And it’s the very thesis of the Protestant movement that it isn’t “doctrines” that got them that way, but a direct personal acceptance of the Lord.

Hallelujah!

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.  My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one.(John 10:27-30)

You are correct sir. He knows who are His. Well said.
