Page "Apostolic succession" Paragraph 47

All Christians who have a genuine relationship with God through and in Christ are part of the " true Church ", according to exemplary statements of evangelical Protestant theology, notwithstanding condemnation of the Catholic Church by some Protestants.

According to these statements, claims that one or more denominations might be the " true Church " are nothing more than propaganda which has evolved over centuries to support authoritarian claims --- based on tradition or based on scripture --- of merely human institutions.

Such claims can be found among the worldwide community of Christians.

Yet all appear to treasure the truth that liberates, and Jesus taught his followers to love one another.
