Cei care ataca Biserica lui Cristos prin invataturi care sustin ca Biserica Mintuitorului este impartita in asa numitele ramuri ce difera in doctrina si traditie, sau ca Biserica nu exista in mod vizibil, dar se va forma in viitor cind toate sectele sau cultele si chiar religiile se vor uni intr-un singur trup, si care nu fac diferenta intre preotia si tainele Bisericii si cele ale ereticilor, ci spun ca botezul si euharisia ereticilor lucreaza intru mintuire; si prin urmare si cei care in mod constient sint in comuniune cu ereticii mentionati mai inainte, sau care le recomanda, disimineaza sau apara erezia cea noua a ecumenismului sub pretextul dragostei fratesti sau a presupusei unificari a crestinilor dezbinati sa se
