If you speak to any Methodist, Baptist, Catholic, Presbyterian, or Lutheran. theologian, they will all tell you the same thing - we all confess the same version of Jesus. We are all apart of the same Religion - Christianity.
Now, there are important differences which stem from our sinful natures and are, as Scripture states, to be expected. They were present even at the time of the Apostles (Acts 20:25-31).
However, these differences will not, alone, keep any Christian out of heaven and no theologian from any Christian denomination would ever make that claim.
As stated by Scripture, it is in these differences that the truth of God’s Word will shine ever more brightly.
