The argument seems to be:
+
*The Bible, or Word of God, is not authoritative;
+
*Salvation is dependent upon church membership;
+
*While baptism qualifies a person for adoption into God's family, it is no guarantee; salvation still must be earned by good works, or at least the sacrificial death of Jesus is insufficient to cleanse one of certain sins.
