We have been talking about the fact that Christianity is not the only religion that claims to have an "only way" to God.
Muslims claim to have the truth. They believe, if I understand it correctly, that the Koran gives the only truth about such matters; however, they believe that translations of the Koran only corrupt the truth. So, if you really want to know the truth, you must understand Arabic and study the Koran in that language. Also, you must have an advanced standing when it comes to comprehending the Arabic language.
I mention these other claims to exclusivity as a foundation for saying that if you want to include some of them as having another way to God, there is a problem with that as far as what they claim themselves. They would not accept the other ways (other than what their claims are).

Sorry, did not know anywhere else to post. The title of my course is FREEWILL BAPTIST DOCTRINES. The instructor is Dr. Robert Picirilli. There are fourteen sessions in this course. I will watch three of them this week.
The first session is about the Holy Spirit. We believe that the Holy Spirit is a personal being, not an "it". He is the third member of the Trinity. He has the same attributes that God has ascribed to Him. The Holy Spirit is the promised Comfortor that Jesus talked about.
This session also talks about the Gospel Call. We believe that it is universal, in other words, it is available to all. It is co-extensive with the preaching of the gospel. The Gospel Call is only "effective" when the person responds to it.
