Featured Some On Here Stated I Am Hedging My Bets Being Catholic And Baptist

Agreed.

If you would please, I would like to ask you this, "If you were to explain to someone how to know Jesus as Savior and be sure of eternal life now and Heaven upon one's death, what would you explain?" Thanks.

 

What do you explain as to how to embrase Jesus as Lord and Savior? And in Jesus alone, how would you distinguish Jesus as to who He is we are to trust? Again, in these things, how does one know for sure of eternal life and going to Heaven when one dies? Again, thanks.

 

You need not ask John - just accept it and believe. The invitation is open to ALL.The eternal life command from heaven is not "ask" but "come".

Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

The Spirit of God will then take up residence in you and teach you to love and obey.

1 John 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

Impossible to be both, unless one is a Jesuit.

 

Well, quit going to the Catholic church and participating in its works based salvation.

 

And how does that salvation come to you?

 

"Being" Catholic does not make you a Child of God.
"Being" Baptist does not make you a Child of God.
"Being" both does not make you a Child of God.

Being born-again through the power of the Holy Spirit is the only way to become a Child of God.

Jhn 3:7 KJV - Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

 

I have been both but not simultaneously. Catholicism is sacramental PLUS works (and there is allot more there involving tradition, church dogma, Marian worship, priestly class etc. Baptists are definitely not any of that.

 

After my personal revelation of Jesus Christ It took me 2 years to leave the Church of Rome.
When I had worked my way "up" into Jesuit training and influence I saw the RCC clearly for what she was/is.

Why didn't God give me that revelation immediately after being enlightened?
Because that knowledge God desires to come by way of experience and personal choice of accountability.

2 Corinthians 6
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

 

And you have that in your life with religion, politics etc. when you can love your creator much more than the machinations of life then you are free of life’s trappings. Congratulations!

 

You cannot be both.

 

Yeah, I know as we have been through this before. You believe in the Baptist idea that the Holy Eucharist is just a "symbol", so if you take communion at the Catholic Mass you are acting in a false manner, you are receiving the Holy Eucharist illicitly and that is a sinful act. Attending Mass is one thing, but participating in the most holy sacrament of Communion is another if you reject the Catholic teaching on it.

As I said before, you cannot be both.
