In closing, the Reformation pointed people back toward God and scripture while correctly placing tradition under the authority of scripture.
The Reformation failed to remove the synergism whereby man tries to place himself as controller of his life and God becomes the genie who grants his wisely chosen wishes. God is therefore is not yet given full glory by many churches because free-will is esteemed over God's Sovereign decree.

Their greatest error was not in getting out of the church this desire and "need"to still have man granted full libertine freewill!

And I was a Baptist who discovered that the Catholic and Orthodox Churches are the closest to what NT Church ⛪ looked like. Read Early Church history and say what you posted here. Just not reality. The Early Church grew and EVOLVED into a Church where the 3 fold ministry was found outside of each local church.The reason Baptist churches are so divided and split are because of this.

The theology and practices of the first churches in acts would have been as if the First Baptist church of Jerusalem!

Btw, do you believe like 'Particular' Baptists and most of the Baptists posting on this forum that myself and other Catholics and Orthodox Christians are 'lost in their sins and Hell bound'? That is EXACTLY what he said he believes! Remember, I used to believe just like you do now. He would say I was NEVER actually saved to begin with because he can't believe I lost my salvation. His theology condemns that position. However, he will say if I ever REALLY knew Jesus Christ to begin with I 'will come out of her'. Btw, I have been a Catholic Christian for many years now.

there are some Catholics and greek orthodox who despite their really bad, at times bordering heresy theology, due to God saving them by same method all of us, saved by grace alone thru faith alone!

I would see you as a saved brother who for some reason decided to go back a false church!

Yeah, but this chucklehead is held in high regard on this board. He REALLY believes this nonsense. He thinks if he ends every single post with an exclamation point he is being convincing.

Technically, both you and he have 'LIKES' for about 4% of your posts ... so SOMEBODY must like you as well (he just posts a lot more than you do).

Good point. I guess posting as a former Baptist turned Cat'lick, I am surprised I have that many 'likes'.
