There are many different denominations, but Jesus is the ONLY
way to God and eternal life in Heaven.....
protestant, catholic, eastern orthodox...... et al... lots of sub-de-nominations in the protestant church,....
John 3;36 - John 8:24 - Acts 4:12 - John 14:6....John 3:16
When it comes to eternity and salvation, I'm ALWAYS serious!!!
God says, WHEN I SEE THE BLOOD, I WILL PASS OVER YOU
and that is what I trust in -- Jesus is my Passover Lamb and His precious B LOOD paid for all my sins....and made me righteous before God when I believed on Him.....and that is true for everyone
who believes on the only Begotten Son of God.....
Romans 10:9.10
The most important thing is that one is ready to go into eternity and, to me, their individual sins is between them and God, but when you get saved, they are all paid for and gone forever as far as God is concerned.
The ONLY sin that will cause you to go to hell is if you reject the salvation that God offers through His Son who died for each and everyone of us...
You (whoever) are the ONLY one who can make that choice for you in YOUR own life.....but you need to do it while you are here in this world....
I just pray that people will THINK about ETERNITY and where they they might end up....The labels don't matter. God will not be asking who's catholic or protestant or whatever....He's only inter-ested in ONE thing!!!!
HAVE YOU ACCEPTED HIS SON AS YOUR PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOR!!!?????? :-)

The scriptures the road is wide and spacious. Many religions.
True religion is the narrow road.
Identifying marks of true religion
The true religion advocates worship of only the one true God, Jehovah. (Deuteronomy 4:35; John 17:3
An important part of worship that is pleasing to God is faith in his Son, Jesus Christ. (John 3:36; Acts 4:12) This does not mean simply believing that he lived or that he was an outstanding person. It includes appreciation of what the Bible teaches regarding the value of the sacrifice of Jesus’ perfect human life and recognition of his position today as heavenly King. (Psalm 2:6-8; John 3:16; Revelation 12:10
True worship is not tainted by involvement in politics and worldly conflicts. (James 1:27) Why not? Because Jesus said regarding his followers: “They are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world.” (John 17:16) Jesus did not meddle in politics, and he restrained his followers from resorting to carnal weapons. (Matthew 26:52
The true religion teaches and practices unselfish love. (John 13:35; 1 John 3:10-12) Such love is not just spoken about in sermons. It actually draws together in genuine brotherhood people of all races, all economic groups, all languages, all nations. (Revelation 7:9, 10) It sets true Christians apart from the world around them
The true religion advocates God’s Kingdom as the lasting solution to the problems of humankind. (Daniel 2:44; 7:13, 14; 2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:4, 5) Do any of Christendom’s churches do that? When is the last time that you heard a clergyman explain God’s Kingdom and what the Scriptures show that it will accomplish? Does the organization to which you belong encourage you to talk to others about God’s Kingdom, and if so, does the membership as a whole share in doing it? Jesus did such witnessing; his early disciples did. You too can have the privilege of sharing in this activity. It is the most important work being done on the face of the earth today.—Matthew 24:14.
Though there are thousands of religions, the Bible quickly helps us to cut through the confusion in order to identify the true one. But we need to do more than identify it. It is vital that we practice it. What this involves will be considered at greater length in our next article.

There is only ONE path to Christianity. At 1 Cor. 1:10, Paul said that true Christians must be "fitly united in the same mind and in the same line of thought." Since that is true, there are NO sects in true Christianity. Either you are living your life by what Jesus taught, or you're not.

Jesus is the only way in Christianity. There are alot of different sects like the Baptists, Protestants, Methodists, and the Southern Baptists but they are all Christians because they all believe in Jesus as the son of God who died on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead on the 3rd day.

Just one. There are many denominations that emphasize different aspects of Christianity, but in order to be true, the church, the denomination, and/or path must abide by the essentials of the Christian faith.

I am serious when I say:
One for each Christian/person.
Rarely does two humans agree on every thing, which forms a new path.
All paths lead to GOD, no matter the faith.

Only one and below is how you find it.
What is false religion?
Why does religion seem to be at the root of so many problems?
The fault lies, not with all religion, but with “false” religion.
False Religion...MEDDLES IN WAR AND POLITICS: How many religions can you think of whose members engage in war?
False Religion...SPREADS FALSE DOCTRINE: Most religions teach that the soul or spirit is some invisible part of a human that survives the death of the physical body. However, the Bible teaches a different doctrine. “The soul that is sinning, it itself will die.” Ezekiel 18:4 Jesus taught that the dead will be resurrected, an unnecessary action if humans had an immortal soul. Does your religion teach that the soul does not die?
False Religion...TOLERATES IMMORAL SEX: Church groups ordain gay and lesbian members of the clergy. What, though, does the Bible teach? It plainly states: “Do YOU not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men.” 1 Cor. 6:9,10 Do you know of religions that condone immoral sex?
How to identify true religion.
True Religion...PRACTICES LOVE: True worshippers are “no part of the world,” are not divided by race or culture, and display “love among themselves.” Rather than killing one another, they are willing to die for one another.
True Religion...TRUSTS GOD'S WORD: Instead of teaching “tradition” and “commands of men as doctrines,” true religion bases its doctrine on God's Word, the Bible
True Religion...STRENGTHENS FAMILIES AND UPHOLDS HIGH MORAL STANDARDS: True religion trains husbands to “love their wives as their own bodies,” helps wives to develop “deep respect for their husbands,” and teaches children to “be obedient to their parents.”
True Religion is available, search for it.

Jesus said that there are two ways, the narrow and the wide. He commands us to enter through the narrow gate (him).

Only one, Jesus said he was the way, the truth, and the life; not a truth.

Only one narrow path.
Anything else ... well enough said.
