 John 6 tells the account of feeding the 5000. Those present
misconstrue the purposes and intentions of Jesus. They develop false
expectations which creates schisms among them. Some eventually walk away from
the Messiah and one is predicted to betray Him.
Jesus heals the paralytic in John 5:8 and probably others
(John 6:2). The miracles are performed to increase faith and prove He is the
Christ (John 10:35,38, John 6:29). The crowd however merely wants to see more
miracles (John 6:2), perhaps for entertainment or personal benefit.

Surah 23:91
مَا
اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ مِن وَلَدٍ وَمَا كَانَ
مَعَهُ مِنْ إِلَهٍ إِذًا لَّذَهَبَ
كُلُّ إِلَهٍ بِمَا خَلَقَ وَلَعَلَا
بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ سُبْحَانَ
اللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
23:91 (Asad) Never did God take unto Himself any offspring,nor has
there ever been any deity side by side with Him: [for, had there been
any,] lo! each deity would surely have stood apart [from the others]
in whatever it had created,and they would surely have [tried to]
overcome one another! Limitless in His glory is God, [far] above
anything that men may devise by way of definition.1
Deuteronomy 6:4
שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל
יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יְהוָה אֶחָֽד׃
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.2
God is one. The Bible clearly teaches the oneness of God. Jews
around the world recite the Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4) during morning
and evening prayers, declaring the lordship and oneness of Yahweh.
The Quran states there is one God in Surah 2:163. However, neither
Jews nor Muslims believe God came to man in the flesh to be
sacrificed. They deny the deity of Jesus. The Christ is the center of
Christianity and to deny Him as the messiah is heresy (1 John 4:2).

 John Mark Hicks writes of "Baptismal Rapprochement Between Southern Baptists and Churches of Christ?" An intriguing look into the differences and common ground between the churches of Christ and the Baptists on baptism. I have found more Baptists using soteriological language today than in the past. More church of Christ individuals are divorcing baptism from instant salvation and seeing a need for faith, repentance and transformation as part of the process of salvation. Both of the aforementioned deviations are just that - anomalies in their respective camps.
Read the John Mark Hick's blog. What are your thoughts? What scriptures back up your thoughts?
