That's great, but not sure how this relates. I am not saying the man was never saved, I am saying he made it sound like his church membership was when he got saved.

Oo yeah, they mistaken about quite a few things for sure when compared with what has been written for us in the scriptures. Question is, why? The Catholic Church was the dominant Christian voice for centuries, many centuries. Where was the Protester for all those centuries? Why did God allow...

Not trying to be picky, but the way he tells his testimony he makes it sound like becoming a full member of a church is what he is hanging his faith on. It sounds like he is focused on "full church membership".... It appears the receiving into full church membership is the most delightful day...

Nice story, but I'm not sure I follow his conclusion. Is he saying his name was registered in the Lamb's book of life when he was accepted as a full member in the Methodist Church one autumn day? Help me out here.

I quote that scripture often. The Catholic system of salvation is a very complex one, and the sad part is, their final answer when pressed is no one can know for certainty that they will be saved, one can only have a confident assurance, but not for sure. And then of course they teach that even...

So I have had a long conversation with a devout Catholic for the past year or so and we have been on the subject of water baptism. They have some things spot on such as the Trinity, the twofold nature of Jesus Christ, the crucifixion, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. So how can they be...

In all things God has the preeminence, this is true. However, we are instructed to ask for the living water/Holy Spirit (John 4, Luke 11:13). And when the keeper of the jail ask the Apostles "what must I do to be saved", their answer was not "man's will plays no part in being born again, my...

Agree. We also know the Holy Spirit was not given as living water within (born of God) until Jesus Christ was glorified (John 7:38-39) I really don't know about all the baptism stuff you are taking about with Israel. Blessings!

There is nothing baseless about those claims. They have been proven. You think all those priest and the popes didn't know how these rapist were being moved around unpunished? Really? You should have the same righteous anger I have for this. And you should understand the RCC is not the Church...

Saved means rescued from the condemnation of sin. Then there one's part to become saved, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.". (Romans 10:9) And there is God's part, "If thou...

And yet not even one example to give. Telling. Did you also know i have never had even one warning for a rule violation here on BB? Walter, are you an example of Catholicism? I have some Catholic friends and they do not bare false witness against their neighbors like you are doing.

That is bc you will not find one, and I only asked for one. Which indicates, as we can see here, it is you who bares false witness against thy neighbor and cast nasty comments. Most of the articles I have read which were given to me came from "Catholic Answers".

So even though Jesus said those who believe AND are baptized will be saved, the water baptism part is not necessary for being saved?

You repeated this for the second time and for the second time I will provide for you the truth. 37818 said, "Respectfully unless you have this book please keep comments and opinions to ONLY WHAT IS SAID BY US in the thread" (Emphasis mine). And again, this is what I have done. And note, it is...

That is not what he said. He said, "Respectfully unless you have this book please keep comments and opinions to only what is said by us in the thread". Which I have done. I have read many of these, as I have read many of ones when the Catholic "changes their mind" and leaves the RCC. While...

Greeting Walter, If I only had a nickel for every time my Catholic debate friends have provided an article which would "change my mind". That is if, according to them, I was "intellectually honest" of course. One of my Catholic friends that I have been debating for the past year now or more has...

My question would be why assume the baptism spoken of is water baptism? John introduced the fact that Jesus would baptize with the Holy Ghost. Would this not be the Holy Spirit baptism performed by Jesus Christ upon belief? If it would be water baptism, then water baptism is required for...

Greetings brother! I have had long conversations with Catholics over the years. Know this one truth as you spend your time trying to reason with them from the scriptures. Nothing you present, no matter how obviously sound, no matter how explicitly stated in the Apostle's letters, will matter to...

"Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: ..................And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again."

And there is no difference between Calvinist preachers to the masses and Non-Cal preachers to the masses. This is the issue. If a Calvinist really believes a person cannot choose Christ then stop preaching as MacArthur does begging the sinner to believe on Christ. Just preach what you believe! I...
