I believe as long as you're making a good faith effort to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ then you'll go to Heaven regardless of what specific denomination you follow (There are probably exceptions, like I don't know a lot about Gnostics but they probably don't count) but I gather this is a little weird and most of you believe the other denominations are hellbound? !christians !catholics

As much as I find some aspects of the Orthodox and the Catholic denominations appealing, I'm concerned about any denominations that don't have an aspect humility to their faith. Believe with conviction, sure, but be willing to consider that you may be wrong. So many times in the Bible the people who insisted they were the keepers of tradition were absolutely railed on by the prophets. Calvinists can be pretty bad in a similar way, just different direction.
I sometimes get a lot of hostility from Catholics for being a Prot, but I also feel like few Catholics are willing to sit down and grapple with the idea that it was the sin of the Catholic Church that caused the reformation.
