Appreciate your response. But I'm not sure if we agree. Or rather I'm not sure the scriptures agree. The church (the bride of Christ), according to God's word, is neither the Catholic Church, the Anglican Church, the Mennonite Church, the Mormons, the anglicans, the Baptist, ETC ETC, so on and so forth. God's church is none of the above in fact the true church is not any of the denominations . God's church is you, its me, God's church is made up of individuals it consists of all those that have truly made Jesus Christ the lord of their life, they are his bride. God's church is wherever they are. 1 Corinthians 3:16 Says "KNOW YE NOT THAT (YOU) ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD AND THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELLETH IN (YOU) IF ANY MAN DEFILE THE TEMPLE OF GOD,HIM SHALL GOD DESTROY FOR THE TEMPLE OF GOD IS HOLY WHICH TEMPLE (YOU) ARE" (1 Peter 2:5) reads "(Ye) also as lively stones ARE BUILT UP A SPIRITUAL HOUSE an HOLY PRIESTHOOD to offer up spiritual sacrifices ACCEPTABLE to God" In John 14:23, "Jesus answered and said "if a man love me he will keep my words and my father will love him and we will come and make (OUR ABODE) (with) him" it is interesting to note that when the promise found in (1st Thessalonians 4:16-17) takes place, the scripture says "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel and with the Trump of God and the (DEAD IN CHRIST)(those who truly belonged to him) shall rise first and (WE) which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord" NOTICE CAREFULLY: it does not say when the trumpet sounds, the dead Catholics shall rise, or the Catholic Church shall rise, or the dead anglicans shall rise, or any other denomination, it says the dead (IN CHRIST) those who truly belong to God , God does not see denominations, he sees individual believers who belong to him, who He calls (in the Bible) his people, his sheep, his bride, his church. Jesus said in Matthew 18:20 "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am among them" it is not where they are gathered, it is that they are gathered together IN HIS NAME, they belong to him, and church is where they are, and where (those that belong to him are) He is. This is confirmed by Revelations 19:5 " Then a voice came from the throne saying praise our God all you (his servants) (who fear Him) both (great and small)" God's Church consists of all, who truly belong to him, both great and small" No one will be saved because they were a Catholic, or a Protestant, rich or poor, King or peasant, they will be saved because they have truly made Jesus Christ the lord of their life, and for no other reason. "In Revelation 3:20 Jesus said "Behold I stand at the door (your heart) and knock If (ANY MAN) (no matter the denomination) open I will come in" ANY MAN. Final witness (John 14:6) Jesus said "I am the truth the life and the way (NO MAN) cometh to the father, EXCEPT BY ME. Never a mention of any denomination, not even the Catholic Church. Someone with their eyes on their denomination does not have their eyes on their savior, "Looking unto Jesus the author and the finisher of our faith" (Hebrews 12:2) 🙏
