[Salvation]

It’s not a business deal — the Holy Spirit is involved here. No one walked away.

Even Christ told the apostles that he would be with them always.

Where are you getting this “walked away” idea?

I was using it as an example of why the church has an authority or hierarchy, not that Jesus would walk away. Please read what I wrote. The church has been led by the Holy Spirit for 2000 years, but if we didn't have an authority the church would fall into any one of the other 25,000 denominations who claim the truth. Who would claim the Holy Spirit? Who would be right? God can not contradict Himself. Not all Christian churches can claim at once to be the one true church.

I am sorry if you didn't understand what I was trying to say, maybe I didn't explain my thoughts very well.
