2)God has entrusted revelation to the saints (Jude 3).
3)God alone is infallible (Numbers 23:19; Acts 17:11).
4)Scripture alone is the Word of God (John 10:35; 2 Timothy 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1:20,21; Mark 7:1-13).
5)Christ alone is the Redeemer, for He alone suffered and died for sin (1 Peter 1:18,19).
6)Christ Jesus is the one mediator to whom we can entrust all our cares and petitions (1 Timothy 2:5; John 14:13,14; 1 Peter 5:7).
7)Justification is by faith alone (Romans 3:28).
8)God justifies ungodly sinners who believe (Romans 4:5). Good works are the result of salvation, not the cause (Ephesians 2:8-10).
9)Grace is a free gift (Romans 11:6).
10)Salvation is attained by grace through faith apart from works (Ephesians 2:10).
11)The believer can know that he has eternal life by the Word of God and the testimony of the Holy Spirit who indwells believers (1 John 5:13; Romans 8:16).
12)There is salvation in no one but the Lord Jesus Christ, “for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
13)The bread and wine are symbols of the body and blood of Christ, and He is bodily present in heaven (1 Corinthians 11:23-25; Hebrews 10:12,13).
14)The sacrifice of the cross is finished (John 19:30).
15)The once-for-all sacrifice of the cross fully appeased God's wrath against sin (Hebrews 10:12-18).
16)The sacrificial work of redemption was finished when Christ gave His life for us on the cross (Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 1:3). |

Catholics and Orthodox are two large sects as the Pharisees and Sadducees were. But here's the catch. God only has a small group in His sheep. Matthew 22:14 14 “For many are called, but few are chosen.” Pharisees and Sadducees were a large groups of people and Jesus said they're not the few chosen and will go to hell. So the smaller the group the more likely it is to go to heaven? If one faith is smaller than another, they will be saved? No, just means only a few follow it out of all the denominations called to follow Christ. Obviously won't be the largest ones or else would say many are chosen. But only a denomination that's a small group that really follows Him. Don't you know how God chose the Israelites? They were a small group of people and He went after them and made them His. God works with small numbers.

"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. Matthew 10:34 Yep, and this is the parallel verse. Luke 12:51 KJV [51] Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: How would you describe their legitimacy for the record? They exist, therefore by extension are part of God's plan.

You think if the Pharisees shrunk God will choose them? No, God said they don't follow Him and they only think they do. Many think they follow Him but they don't. That's wht God rejected them. Yes, big group but the big group didn't follow Him. They said their tradition is right and biblical and God said no it wasn't.

Matthew 7:13-14 KJV [13] Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: [14] Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Matthew 13:24-30 King James Version (KJV)

25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way
Luke 8:11 King James Version (KJV)
11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God
Ephesians 6:17 King James Version (KJV)
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Matthew 10:34 King James Version (KJV)
34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword
Jeremiah 31:33 King James Version (KJV)
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Corinthians 6:15-20 King James Version (KJV)
15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ?
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 King James Version (KJV)
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Romans 8:9-11 (KJV)
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

[4] And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
