As far as I know, there is only one religious group that falsely interprets Matthew 16:18 and uses this verse as the basis for their supposed authority over all other churches.
Hello again! Yes, I do believe we are thinking of the same group, the same group that claims that Peter was the rock that the church would be built upon. They also claim that Peter was the first Pope and that all Popes in succession are Vicars (Substitutes) of Christ on this earth. However, scripture does support their claims, and Peter never made any such claim for himself.
