The Biblical Basis for some Catholic Distinctives

You said I see!... What does God see?... Brother Glen

 

Friend, I know that... remember I was a Roman Catholic for 34 years and many of my friends and family are still practicing Roman Catholics. My other side are mostly Welsh Calvinistic Methodists, Baptists and Congregationalist. I know very well the doctrines, services and peculiarities of of all...including my wife’s Presbyterian Church.

 

So you do know that they teach a false way to be saved, correct?

 

Let’s put it this way, my child died prior to being baptized by a Calvinistic Orthodox Presbyterian minister... I was told my child was probably in hell. Are they right?

 

My understanding would be that the Grace of God would be applied towards him by God to save Him!
He is not in Limbo, as unbaptized are suppossed to be!

 

How is Gods Grace derived?

 

The simple Gospel is the pauline Justification , NOT the elaborate one dreamed up by Rome!

 

The Church of rome deniespauline Justification of the Gospel, so they themselves fall under "let them be accursed"

 

The gospel that the Catholic (Universal ) Church preaches is Christ crucified, so please stop lying about us. Jesus Christ, is the Savior of us all.

 

Those who constantly utter false witness against other Christians are "accursed" and are therefore guilty of grave sinfulness.

 

As of yet, these particular "apparitions" have not been approved by the Church authorities, so one needs to be wary of the truthfulness of them.

 

So why is baptism mentioned so many times in the Holy Scriptures?

 

See Matthew 7:1-5

 

Because it was a symbol of freedom and cleanliness and life.

 

We have become a militaristic people haven’t we. We require enemies so we can protect our boundaries and define ourselves. Our need of certitude outstrips Gods desire for brotherhood therefore we cannot live without negative energy, we cannot live in the realm of peace that Jesus announces, because the price of peace is nondenomination.
