I use to think, if I win someone to the Lord and don't send them to my "brand" of Church then how can they be saved? That sure limits the power of God, and puts "religion" with the power of salvation, doesn't it? The Bible says that Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith. When we come to know Him and are saved by Him, we are to add to our faith, virtue, not "religion." Fellowship with God's people is sweet and rewarding, but we must be careful not to think, we can save men and women. I will say it like I once heard a preacher say, "Someday you and I will be dead and the religion we believe in, will be gone, but Jesus will remain forever. So let's put all our faith in Him who is well able to deliver (save) His people from their sins. Be blessed.
