Good list, most of which embodies a readily recognizable scripture authority! The fact that you bill it as a 'generic' list provides some room for imbedding modern 'church' deviations from scripture. I believe we are living in (or close to) the 'Last Days' when many will "no longer endure sound doctrine." Your list is a pretty good representation of how that manifests itself today.

btw... the last two instead of "ant" should have been "any"

I bet there are two denominations that match your list but don't agree on the means of salvation? Neither of which have authority to make the call. Of course, nor do you or I.
Scripture is an object on a table until one reads it. And then, many times, it is only what we want it to be or what we are searching for or what we already believe. Every bible read (past tense) speaks to the individual differently with different meaning and emphasis. In the end, as I pose the question in another thread, who or what has authority to make the call? Since by clear evidence, if you throw the Bible out into the masses, you get total chaos as to the Bible's meaning. All of these folks are well intentioned and may read the bible with an open heart and yet come out with something different. This, in it of itself, is not a bad thing, but in matters of salvation are of ultimate importance.

I would say that if we closely examine what is being said as the truth and compare that to the Bible, we can indeed make that call.
Simply having an "open heart" does not guarantee that one is not open to Satanic voices, like the Korish \ Jim Jones listened to. There are groups \ organizations that are very sincere... and still are very very wrong.

Our ancestors who you trust ALREADY were corrupted by satanic interpretations long before you or I came on the scene Twin. These ARE and HAVE BEEN the latter days spoken of when apostasy and mass delusion would grip the church and anti-Christ gospel would be widely accepted. To the minds of the early Christians a few hundred years in the future would have been considered the latter days . . . let alone 2000+. Christ's Gospel is a Gospel of love and there is no room withn it for fear or any other evil or hate or vengeance or non-love, period. Anything that is NOT love is satanic corruption.
