What has happened is that denominations have stepped up (Roman Catholic only one) and presumed that if They Did Not Call On The Lord Their Way, then They Cannot Be Saved. Human pride all of it — and very despicable.
They’ve taken getting on the stairway to heaven and made it into a PhD rocket science problem.
Yeah, I also like to say that “becoming a Christian” doesn’t make you smart, right or even a theologian - but it does make you saved ... :-) ...
I do contend with a lot of the wrong teachings I hear “out there” - but I do realize that some of those who are in error about a lot of other teachings, may also be saved, according to what God has said about salvation.
AND ... for the record, I did not see that many of Paul Crouch’s statements and/or teachings were according to the Bible.
