The person saying the opening prayer in church today used "the true church" and it bothered me a little. Whenever I hear someone say that I wonder if we are the Stuart Smalley churches and we just need that constant affirmations. Do other churches do this?

For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

From my limited experience, it's a variation on the theme at other protestant denominations. It's not a matter of this specific church or denomination is true, but that all (or most) Protestant denominations are part of the body of Christ, and the rest will burn in hell. I've even heard some people include Catholics in the club, but they're in the vast minority.
So, while I've never heard "true church" elsewhere, I have heard a distinction between the saved and the unsaved, which isn't all that different if you think about it long enough.Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

Agree with RS. You don't hear "true church" but you hear "saved."Comment

No kidding. We don't need the affirmation.
Cool guys don't have to say that they are cool.
Also, cool don't look at explosions.
