Response to The doctrine that the INC is the only church founded by a messenger of God (if true)....

 

Jesus Christ saves the invidiual believer.

John 3:16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[f] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.

WHOEVER believes, not church

God does not save the church, the church is made up of individual members who God has already saved.

Romans 10:8But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,"[d] that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."[e] 12For there is no difference between Jew and Gentilethe same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."[f]


You, individually, not the church, a church or the church is not what is saved, if the you, the person, EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME.


Going to church, being a member of a church or particular denomination or religion has nothing, nothing whatsoever to do with salvation.


Only a cult will say otherwise.
