Therefore, any denomination or religious group which puts forth the claim that they are the true church of God, and therefore your salvation is jeopardized if you willingly separate from them, or are cast out, disfellowshipped, or excommunicated from their fellowship, you can then know that they have cast Christ out of their church and have taken His place among their people! How is this true? The Bible teaches that it is only "in" and "through" Jesus Christ: --that we find the truth (John 14:6) --that we become part of the New Covenant (2 Corinthians 3:13-18) --that we find redemption (Romans 3:24; Ephesians 1:7)
Kwa hiyo, dhehebu lolote au kundi la kidini ambalo linaleta madai kwamba ndilo Kanisa la kweli la Mungu, na hivyo wokovu wako uko hatarini ikiwa utajitenga kwa hiari kutoka kwao, au ukitupwa nje, au ukifutwa ushirika, au kufungiwa kushiriki nao, unaweza kujua basi kwamba wamemtupa Kristo nje ya Kanisa na wamechukua nafasi yake kati ya watu wao! Je, hii ni kweli kwa kiasi gani?
