I never really understood how different sects of Christianity sometimes have different paths to salvation.
Not that I practice much lately, but I always remembered: "I am the way, the truth, the life; no one can get to the Father except through me." (don't remember the verse, but I think I quoted it correctly).
To avoid a long post, I always felt that salvation was through acceptance of Christ, everything else was trimmings. Dance, don't dance. Sing, don't sing. Baptize, don't baptize. All of these things have a tendency to change depending on where you are come Sunday morning. However, we are speaking to the same God, correct? If all of these different denominations are speaking to the same deity, why the major shifts in doctrine from church to church?
However, the most common doctrine that is found throughout denominations is salvation through Christ. That leads me to believe that the other stuff means nothing ultimately.
/baptized Episcopalian (i.e. Catholic-Lite), but I don't think it assures or denies me a passage to heaven.
