What about the SS teacher was he lost too, since he went to the wrong church?

Well, since I believe people need to be filled with the Holy Ghost, evidenced by speaking in tongues, and be baptized in Jesus' name in order to be saved, then we do have a different view on salvation. I didn't say my mother was saved "from being Baptist"; she was Baptist--she was raised that way, but she most certainly was NOT a Christian, e.g., someone who was actively serving God. She not only was saved (from sin) in an Apostolic church, but she also was introduced to a clear understanding of God.

I never once said, though, that people are lost if they attend the "wrong church."

It isn't where you go to worship; it's WHO you worship, WHAT you believe, and HOW you obey the Word that matters.

Bold statement - and this is also where I came from over 38 years ago - You can only believe what has been revealed to you. I NEVER heard of the baptism of the Holy Ghost or Jesus' name baptism until I started dating a young man (who became my husband). When truth is revealed by God, then you're responsible to accept or reject that truth. I am the granddaughter of a Southern Baptist pastor who did not believe women should wear pants - I have no memory of my grandmother EVER wearing anything but a dress - sleeveless in the hot summers, but a dress none-the-less!!!! I remember as a child, around 9 or 10, going to the front of the church, with tears of conviction and giving my heart to Him - and being baptized. I strayed during my teen years, but after I was married, I responded to the truth, was baptized in His Name and received the Holy Ghost a year later. Have never strayed since and I'm grateful for the truth He revealed to me!
