Differing views on salvation are high on the list of primary beliefs dividing the various denominations, both among Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholicism, and Protestantism and within Protestantism itself.

many denominations one is left to wonder where do I go. I have became a christian but how do i know which church is the right. Is there even a church that is right? This problem has been around for centuries, but many didn 't say anything about it. However a man named Barton Stone decided to take a stand.
