The Catholic church.

If the Catholic church was reformed--then what need was there of the Lutheran churches--with a different theology? All the different dozens of denominations which flowed out of the Reformation?

Since when has God ever had more than one denomination?

The church that holds to the Augsburg Confession is the Catholic Church, the rest are imposters.

Interesting. Luther reformed the Catholic church--but only those who hold to the Augsburg Confession are truly the Christian church?

If the Catholic church was reformed--then why the need for another church?

There wasn't. Everyone should hold to the Augsburg Confession and thereby be part of the Catholic Church.

I guess God only has one denomination now....It's called the LDS. Right?

For me--there is one thing for sure--His church wouldn't carry the name of an ordinary man.

Acts 4:10-12---King James Version
10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Arn't Latter day SAINTS...ordinary man?

I don't disagree with that verse.

But, I also know you don't need to be baptized by a recognized LDS preacher to be saved. That's part of where the cultism comes into play.
