Those who never heard about Jesus?

The scriptures DO NOT teach reconciliation of all denominations OUTSIDE
of the gospel that saves (which you seem to infer). Rather, it teaches
that we need to be reconciled only to God; that is, "To wit, that God was
in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses
unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation."

The WORD of reconciliation is nothing less than the gospel that saves: it
undoubtedly is the ". . . ministry of reconciliation . . ." that the apostle
alluded to himself and the other twelve (excluding Judas Iscariot, but we
include Matthias).

Why are there so many "entire branches of Christianity that embrace the
same Bible..."? There are several reasons, of which I will name but a few:
(1) There are many who, as Apollos, have known only ". . . the baptism
of John . . ." (the Old Testament);
(2) then there are those who have heard the gospel that saves, but have
only received a [denominational interpretation];
(3) of course there are those who have completely heard and received
the gospel that saves: such as many Brothers here, and myself;
(4) and there are those who are still blind: and although they have surely
HEARD of the gospel that saves, they cannot SEE (perceive, understand,
or discern) ". . . the kingdom of God . . ."

"Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter . . ."

Of course. And let me guess. They must be saved as you have interpreted the Gospel. Am I correct?
