Push these jokers long enough and the truth comes out....a self saving, salvation losing CHURCH SKIPPER that ALONE is following God while ALL CHURCHES are failing....yet even though he tramples Jesus under his feet, counts the blood of Christ a common ordinary base thing he has the truth and is saved as they come....
What a joke!

Was Jesus a Baptist. Why are you? A Pentecostal, Mormon, JW, United, Four Square, E Free, etc., etc., Then why are you? There is only One Church, the body of Christ. I attend an assembly of evangelicals, but I don't swallow every wind of doctrine that is preached. I am careful that what I hear is the word of God, rightly divided from scripture, before I say amen. I have been a Christian for a very long time, and study the scriptures for truth and not necessarily what is taught as scripture. No one is using scripture here in the answer, just what they believe. Only the truth can set one free, and some of you are tied up in knots, and only want to be argumentative, and seem to care little about what is really true, by using scripture in context.
Your "opponents" here are basically trying to fit what Paul revealed about the mystery of the grace dispensation, into everything else in the 4 gospels and the book of James.
For example, after they understood Paul, they go back to a verse like John 3:16 or John 6:29 and conclude, "See, Jesus ONLY said to believe in him will have eternal life, he did not say be water baptized, obey the Law, etc etc".
They ignore what Jesus said about keeping the Law elsewhere in the 4 gospels, and also reinterpret what James was trying to tell the Jews in his letter that faith without works is dead, from the perspective of Paul.

I think you're way out in left field with this argument.
There is nothing whatsoever in Scripture to indicate that there will only be one single solitary saved Christian remaining in the world at any point in time or under any circumstances. There will always be an Assembly there will always be a plurality in the Body of Christ perpetually during the entire course of the Church age from beginning to end.
