As sad as it may be for many, this is how it will
Besides Lutherans, Anglicans, and Calvinists, who separated from the Catholic Church during the Reformation, Protestantism also includes movements that arose later within Protestantism itself, for example, Baptists, Pentecostals, and others. As we can see, people have created many denominations; all of these are human creations.
In the future, all those reading these lines, however sad it may be, will not find them, being with God in eternity. According to the last chapter of the Bible, only Christians will be with God in eternity.
The word CHRISTIAN comes from the Greek word Christianos, formed on the basis of the Latin language: The root of the word (Christ) is of Greek origin, meaning "Anointed One." The ending is of Latin origin and was used to denote someone's follower. It was used in relation to SLAVES. The first known use of the word Christianos in the context of the Holy Scriptures can be found in the New Testament (Acts 11:26; 26:28). The followers of Jesus Christ were first called Christians in Antioch because their behavior, actions, and words sought to resemble Jesus Christ. The Apostle Peter called on believers: "You are Christians. Be proud of the impeccable status reflected in this name!" (1 Peter 4:16).
Only Christians will be with God in eternity, that is, all the SLAVES OF GOD, starting with Abel. God Himself calls believers His servants! The words SLAVE and CHRISTIAN are one and the same!!! Only Christians will be with God in eternity! The name of God will be on the foreheads of Christians! "And there shall be no more curse; but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. And they shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads." (Revelation 22:3).
The words "servant of God" can be read in Acts 2:18; Ephesians 6:6; Philippians 1:1, and also in Revelation 19:5, that the servants will praise God: "And a voice came from the throne, saying, Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, both small and great."
According to the "Message of the Lord to the seven churches" in the book of Revelation, it can be argued that both in the past and in the present, all Christian churches have
spiritual shortcomings. This happened because the emerging Christian churches were FOUNDED BY PEOPLE. The Book of Revelation is addressed to the seven local churches that existed at that time in Asia Minor. Many other churches existed at that time, but each of them, in its spiritual state, resembled one of these seven. The very fact that the Lord addressed seven churches tells us that God did not intend to establish ONE historical church. In the past, and even today, there are churches that claim the right to be called the "one true church," supposedly founded by Jesus Christ, which is not consistent with the Bible.
