There is not a single passage that teaches baptismal regeneration. When those people think that they do, it simply betrays their misunderstanding of Scripture. Remember, Scripture never contradicts itself. Start with the very simple premise. The jailer asked Paul: "What must I do to be saved...

Take your choice. Either he died for you, so that by faith your sins might be forgiven, or, as I quoted to you earlier: 1213 Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit (vitae spiritualis ianua),4 and the door which gives access to the other...

That is nonsense. From ewtn.com we learn: The Magisterium or Teaching Authority of the Church by Fr. William G. Most By the Magisterium we mean the teaching office of the Church. It consists of the Pope and Bishops. Christ promised to protect the teaching of the Church There was no Pope in...

And here we must stop. We have Pentecost; the missionary journeys of Paul who established "churches" not "The Church." The rest of the NT, epistles that give doctrine and instructions to individual local churches and pastors of churches but not to "The Church," so-called. We see the...

Scripture (and Jesus and the Apostles) tell us to verify all things through the words of God's revelation. Thus tell me what is my opinion when I quote scripture and tell you the truth. BTW, "the church of the living God" (in context the church at Ephesus, and thus a local church), had pillars...

Welcome to the board Adonia. I was a Catholic for 20 years and never heard the gospel preached or explained even one time. The RCC does not preach the gospel of Christ. They preach good works instead--baptism, keeping the sacraments, etc. As I have already posted above the gospel they have is a...

You describe yourself well as "bad Catholic," and demonstrate that you don't know what your own faith is about. You want me to tell you what your faith teaches you?? An odd request. You should know about your own beliefs shouldn't you? "Back up your 'accusations' with what we officially...

The gospel has not much to do with one's position on family planning and related subjects. That was a bit of a rabbit trail. 1. The new birth as proclaimed by every Baptist on this board is completely different than that of the RCC which is the heretical "baptismal regeneration." That is a false...

Let's simply look at it this way. The RCC claims to have originated with the apostles. Yet their doctrine is not apostolic doctrine. If it were it would be found in the Bible. Correct? Thus the insistence on sola scriptura. Any one of us can present you a list of of Catholic "man-made"...

I'll go back and see what I have missed. Sometimes we hone in on one particular aspect so much so that we forget all the other material that you have posted. All my arguments come from scripture. You keep using 1Cor.4:5 in a way it shouldn't be used. I see that and quite frankly it bothers me...

We brought up many doctrines and then began to zero in on some of the more important ones. IMO, this is one of the least important of those doctrines (it still is important), because it does not deal with the doctrines essential to salvation. We all agree in the sanctity of the home. There is...

However, to summarize this passage into one small "truth" as "judge nothing before the time," contradicts the rest of scripture. We are to judge. Judge righteous judgment. They that are spiritual judge all things. The above is scripture, but in reality we judge all the time. We judge people...

Let me respond to this much as you have used this verse before. It is taken out of its context and thus is not making much sense. Perhaps it is to you, but the fourth chapter of 1Cor. is not speaking of salvation. Let's look at some of those verses: 1 Corinthians 4:1 Let a man so account of us...

Ha Ha. My chair has upholstery, not love. Depending on which one you get, you might feel some springs also. What kind of inanimate object has "love"?

This statement has already been answered. Not all scripture must be worded exactly the way the reader wants it to be. Just because it is not the way you want it to be does not mean that "faith alone" is not taught." Please sit in this chair, in this chair alone, in no other chair but this only...

Let me tell you about Faith, Hope and Love. Where I live tonight is the last night our professional hockey team is playing in "The Coliseum" the great arena where they have been playing hockey since the '70's. It will be re-purposed and the team is moving to a new one in the fall. All day today...

I believe it is much more than that. Eve was deceived. Adam outright rebelled, but Eve was deceived. 1 Timothy 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. As for believers, we are warned over and over again, Don't be deceived: Proverbs 20:1 Wine is a...

Pay attention to the thread. I used the passage in post #14. SG agreed with it in his post, #17. And now you say I am going to another passage?? Pay attention!! Now just go back and answer my post. You have a right to your opinion.

Do you believe this is written to Christians? 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in...

It seems like we have come a long way. You have agreed with me on more points than disagreed. Here is the only point of real disagreement: I want to quote to you a hymn, that you are probably familiar with, and then the writer that you may not be familiar with and see what you think. This...
