They believe by default that people believing differently are going to hell but for some reason do not voice these feelings. I think "born agains" and "evangelicals" take it on the chin not so much for what they believe but for their confidence in saying it. People tend to dislike people who are absolutely adamant that they are right.

gop_jeff said:Merlin, I don't know which churches you've been going to, but I have only met one Christian in my entire life who thought that way - NewGuy.
While I wholeheartedly believe that Christ is the only way to God, I don't think any particular denomination or branch of the Church has the 100% solution - including my own.
That maybe the case Jeff, but very unlikley.gop_jeff said:Maybe we are just hanging out in the non-judgmental churches...
insein said:Thats the fallacy of all religions. Islam, Chritianity, Judism, Hinduism. You must believe the 1 true faith or perish in hell.
reality is, I've probably been in many more churches than you..simply because I'm much older..My experiance is, not "few" but many make these claims.-=d=- said:Unlikely or not, it's reality. People use what a FEW churches do as an excuse to avoid the MAJORITY of churches

I don't know about anyone else, but I have this desire to be informed and right about everything. If something's not right. I don't want to believe it. I want my life built on the foundation of eternal truth.
Alot of people just want a religion that is convenient for them and that doesn't involve much action on their part. They naturally aren't going to like it when God says this is how it is. For others, religion is about what is right and true. If its not right or true, they dont want to believe in it.
So I just want to know what is wrong if baptists believed only they went to heaven? (i dont think they do although some might think that only people who beleive like they do go to heaven, which narrows heaven down to one person of course). Why would you expect people to believe something they dont think is true? it doesnt make any sense. And if they think its true what the heck is wrong with them saying its true. Yeah truth isnt always candy and buttercups. But id rather see someone who honestly believes they are right argue something which can be used to discuss what is right and wrong but rather than saying anyone who says they are right is some intolerant bigot and try to stifle any debate.
Some people are right, some are wrong. Deal with it and try to be one of those who is right.
