1. No. They should be at peace with themselves.
2. No. They are too egotisticle (sp?) and would loose "influence"
3. No. It would distract them from their dogma.

I think BD touched on it earlier. It is our individual relationship with the Lord that will grant us salvation. It is not (IMHO) which religion you belong to. I joined the Adventist Church because from what I could see, they taught the Bible, pure and simple, and there was not much "church doctrine" that needed to be followed in order to be a member. I think it is very easy to get caught up in the dogma of a church and loose sight of the message that is held in the Bible. This is where people will loose their salvation as they follow to the letter the "rules" of the church, but don't follow the teachings of the Bible and establish and develop a relationship with the Lord.
