I was just given an overview of the history of the church by my prof. A straight line from the NT going through sects, anabaptists, baptists, and modern baptist organizations ends at the rapture of the church. Supposedly this is the line of the true church.
He then showed how the RC broke off from the true church and made another line. A third line showed the reformation and the denominations that arose out of it. Instead of this line swinging back to the true church line, it ultimately swings back to the RC and makes up the world church that is alive in the Tribulation.
So in other words, the Baptist church is the true church and all other denominations are false. Lay members could be saved in those denominations, but the denominations as a whole are merely tools to bring about the LaHaye end-time scenario.
No offense intended to my baptist brothers here. I know that you do not feel the same way.
