@@yenenehw Yes, I am saved and filled with the Holy Spirit and if I died right now I would go to heaven and spend eternity with God. You are right. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. (Eph. 2,8-9). We don't need any works to be saved but: For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also (James 2,26). When you have experienced Jesus and are saved you want others to experience that as well and be saved. And we are called to preach the good news and walk in signs and wonders (Mark 16,15-18).

@@Jan_KindermannBased on your assertion that you’ve already been saved and are bound for eternal life in heaven with God, it is evident that you view yourself as exempt from the judgment of Christ - you judged yourself worthy of inheriting the kingdom of Christ. In light of your perspective, good works are not necessary for you - after all, the necessity of good works does not apply to a person who has already obtained salvation and is guaranteed a place in God's kingdom. In Matthew 7:22-23, there is a passage where individuals who considered themselves Christians, filled with the Holy Spirit, and judged their guaranteed place in heaven, encounter a surprising reality upon their demise. They discover that it is Christ, not themselves, who serves as the ultimate Judge. This aligns with the message in *_Romans 2:6-9, which emphasizes that Christ will reward individuals based on their works - those who diligently keep the commandments and pursue goodness will be rewarded accordingly. Conversely, those who are driven by self-ambition and unrighteous boastfulness will face divine retribution._* Hence, drawing from Paul's advice to the Philippians in Philippians 2:12-13, we’re encouraged to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. This implies that our pursuit of salvation should not be marked by vain boasting, but rather by a deep sense of fear and humility. *Matthew 7:22-23:-* Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ *Roman 2:6-9:-* He will repay to each according to his works: to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and anger. *Philippians 2:12:-* So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling. *John 14:15:-* If you love me, keep my commandments.

Jesus said to the thief on the cross who was being crucified next to him, "today you will be with me in paradise." Was the thief baptised ? No. Did the thief on the cross partake in communion? No. What the thief on the cross did do was make a simple pronouncement of faith in Jesus Christ, the only absolute requirement to enter the gates of Heaven.

Was the criminal on the cross “saved by grace through faith alone”❓ 🕊️“One of the criminals hanging beside him scoffed, “So you’re the Messiah, are you? Prove it by saving yourself-and us, too, while you’re at it!” But the other criminal protested, “Don’t you fear God even when you have been sentenced to die? We deserve to die for our crimes, but this man hasn’t done anything wrong.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.” And Jesus replied, “I assure you, today you will be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:39-43 Discerning this passage properly along with scripture in its entirety will lead you to see that the criminal on the cross was never told that he was forgiven, nor that he was saved but instead that he would be with him in paradise but why the difference? Everyone after death will enter paradise to kneel before our Father and await his judgement but few will enter his kingdom. 🕊️“For the scripture says: “As surely as I am the living God, says the Lord, everyone will kneel before me, and everyone will confess that I am God.” Romans 14:11 🔥“Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter.” Matthew 7:21 As Christians we must learn to distinguish between paradise and kingdom in order to properly understand it within scripture. No one knows if the criminal was forgiven for his sins nor that he was saved from them but only that he entered paradise to kneel before our Father and await his judgement. A judgement only he can decide. 🕊️“It is God alone who judges; he decides who will rise and who will fall.” Psalms 75:7 Doesn’t this mean that the other criminal entered paradise as well? Yes, won’t we all enter paradise when we kneel before our Father? Where else is his throne located at? Where else would we be judged? but is there a difference between the two criminals? Before his death, the criminal who spoke with Jesus on the cross did a few things different than the other criminal next to him. By his actions/works/deeds, he spoke in fear of the Lord, confessed his sin as he stated that he deserved to die for his crimes, acknowledged Jesus through his faith when he asked to be remembered and trusted his life to Jesus as he knew he would also die. He feared the Lord: “Don’t you fear God” 🕊️“Fear of the Lord leads to life, bringing security and protection from harm.” Proverbs 19:23 He confessed: “We deserve to die for our crimes” 🕊️“When you become aware of your guilt in any of these ways, you must confess your sin.” Leviticus 5:5 He acknowledged Jesus: “remember me when you come into your Kingdom” 🕊️“Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven.” Matthew 10:32 He trusted Jesus: “today you will be with me in paradise” 🕊️“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.” John 14:1 The criminal on the cross who spoke with Jesus would not only kneel before our Father in paradise as the other but the difference is that he would also be acknowledged by Jesus himself before our Father for the actions he demonstrated before his death. We can only pray that by our Father’s grace, through the criminals faith and by the works he demonstrated to Jesus as he hanged alongside him was good enough to be granted salvation but we must refrain from claiming that our own evaluation of the criminals story can determine our Father’s judgment, for who are we to declare anyone forgiven or even saved, what power does a mere human have? Jesus while on the cross, taught us that it’s never too late to fear the lord, to confess, to acknowledge and trust in him while we are still alive. At the same time, Jesus showed us the free will we are given to decide for ourselves just like the other criminal… some won’t fear the lord, some wont confess, some will deny him and some won’t even trust him but the option of salvation will always be there. The criminal on the cross who entered paradise did much more than people want to admit because they prefer a simpler way to salvation. They willingly promote that they are “saved by grace through faith alone” which is taken out of context as having more power than what the New Testament teaches in its entirety. Worst, they claim that those few words taken out of context have more power than everything Jesus himself taught. Jesus never once taught that you’re “saved by grace through faith alone” nor did he ever mention that statement anywhere in the New Testament. “saved by grace through faith alone” is a false gospel‼️

Rom 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Rom 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Rom 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Rom 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. Rom 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: Rom 6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. Knowing that the sum of God's word is truth (Psalms 119:160 English Standard Version 2016 (ESV) The sum of your word is truth, and every one of your righteous rules endures forever.), we can see one must believe, repent, confess Christ's deity with our mouths and be immersed in water for remission of sins. It is in this immersion we are joined together with Christ in His death burying the old man in this watery grave which has been crucified with Christ . We then rise up out of this watery grave resurrected, born of water and spirit to walk in newness of life freed from sin.

You have to take your cross and fallow Jesus. Protestants want blessings only without cross,thats why they fool themselves with "if you believe you are automatically saved".But there is no way God rewards the same way those who believe and do nothing,with those who believe and suffer, pray and work hard. God is justice,he gives according to our engaging. Also the fact that you can refuse salvation any time in your life and ho on the dark side prooves that salvation is not granted,God expects some work on our side too,Jesus opened the gates of heaven for us, but we still need to earn it.

The Catholic man has no understanding of baptism, and he definitely did not win this debate. The woman just doesn’t know her stuff that well. Baptisim doesnt mean what he says. Baptism doesn’t give a person salvation. The word baptism comes from the Greek word “Baptizo” which means immersion, or to dip or plunge. Baptism represents the death, BURIAL and resurrection of Jesus Christ. God commands us to die to our old sinful self, and be resurrected to new life in Christ Jesus. This is the meaning of baptisim. This is why infant baptisim is heretical, because a baby cannot make this decision. They simply do not have the entail capacity to make such a decision. Second, we are not saved through works as many Catholics believe. Ephesians 2:8 says “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one may boast. It’s quite clear that we are not saved by works. The works are simply the evidence that we have salvation. James 2:18 says faith without works is dead. The works is the evidence; not what does the saving. If we could be saved by works, there would be no need for Jesus to die on the cross! This again is heretical. We cannot earn our way to heaven by doing good works. Our good works are worthless rags to God. We can never be good enough for him unless we accept Jesus’s death on the cross (his sacrifice) which justifies us. Romans 3:10 None is righteous, no, not one; 11 no one understands; no one seeks for God. 12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.” Jesus Christ sacrifice on the cross is what saves, NOTHING ELSE. Not works, not baptism, nothing. Jesus says in John 14;6 “No one comes to the father except through me” Often, Catholics want to Earn salvation by works but that mentality will lead them to hell. We cannot be saved by any act accept trusting in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour and having faith in him. The key to this debate is studying Gods inerrant word. The truth will set you free.

It’s not so much that he was a good debater, but he was debating against someone who is a very poor debater. He talked about literalism, but to interpret the Bible literally is to interpret the Bible according to its literary genre. Not one of the apostles would have understood Jesus to be saying that that bread at the Passover Seder was actually his physical flesh, and that’s a fact. He was standing in front of them when he said it, and everything on that Seder table had a meaning and represented something else. It would have been understood as a metaphor. Just like when he said I am the gate or I am the Shepard or I am the door. Jesus talked that way all the time and all his apostles knew it. The author of Hebrews said our God is a consuming fire. Should we go worship flames? The Bible is full of metaphors. The Bible is its own best interpreter. She was right in saying that the Bible never contradicts itself, and must be understood in context and by comparing scripture with scripture.

We know Jesus was not speaking in metaphor because after preaching about the Eucharist in John chapter 6 (eat my flesh...drink my blood) his disciples took him literally and many left him for it.

@@tomherring I beg to differ Tom! I am very familiar with John 6. I have taught John 6. John 6 is not about communion at all. Jesus had just finished performing a miracle and feeding bread to a huge group of Jewish people. The crowds followed Jesus to get more bread but Jesus knew what their motives were. Jesus knew they did not come to him because they believed in him, but because they wanted a free meal. ”Jesus answered them and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.“ ‭‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭26‬ Without shame, the Jews said Moses gave us bread to eat, because they were still looking for another food handout and physical nourishment. Jesus said that he was the true bread that comes down from heaven. So then the Jews say, give us this bread still thinking of physical bread that feeds the physical body. Then Jesus tells them how they can receive the bread from heaven he tells them that it’s not physical at all. It’s not communion bread it’s Jesus himself and it’s received through faith. ”Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me will never hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.“ ‭‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭35‬ To come to Jesus is to believe in him, to believe in him is to receive salvation and never hunger or thirst spiritually again. ”For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.”“ ‭‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭40‬ Think about what Jesus said to the Samaritan woman a few chapters ago. I will give you water, and if you receive it, you will never thirst again. Was Jesus talking about physical water or physical thirst? The Samaritan woman said to Jesus sir give me this water, so I don’t have to come here and draw anymore. The same response as these Jews, who also didn’t understand that Jesus was not talking about eating physically but believing in him and following him. Eventually the Samaritan woman understood that Jesus was not talking about drinking physically but spiritually by believing in him but I’m afraid these Jews never did. Jesus meant that they would have eternal life if they believed in him not if they ate communion bread or his physical flesh. Jesus always spoke to these Jews in parables and metaphors not in literal speech. ”All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and He was not speaking to them without a parable“ ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13‬:‭34 ”Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life.“ ‭‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭47‬ These Jews were offended by Jesus, as even some of his own disciples were for a time. If you remember, even Peter said this shall never happened to you speaking of Jesus giving his body and shedding his blood for sinners and Jesus said to Peter get behind me Satan, for this is the will of my father. Can you not see the obvious fact that Jesus is speaking to all these people in parables telling these Jews through metaphors that they must believe in him and follow him? It’s a simple as that. ”The Spirit is the One who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life. But there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him.“ ‭‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭63‬-‭64‬ Indeed, the flesh profits nothing and there are some of you who do not believe. Grace and peace to you my friend.

I used to be Catholic. Baptized as an infant and did first communion and confirmation. However I was never a Christian or a disciple. I was not saved. I did not know Christ until I believed and trusted in Him alone. Only faith in the finished work of Christ and His righteousness will save you. James and Romans do not contradict each other but rather complement each other. In light of the context of both books, the "protestant" interpretation is the one that makes sense. If you have true faith, your works will be evidence of it. If you have no works, you have no faith. It is not talking about your works saving you. Works will not justify you before the throne. Baptism is an outward expression of a regenerate heart. Baptism itself cannot save either.

Catholics don’t believe that you will go to heaven just because you received the sacraments. We believe in addition to general grace there are graces received in the sacraments that will help you in your faith or living out vocational sacraments etc if you cooperate with it. It’s not even that the Church’s position is that someone can’t be saved without baptism it’s that the only Known way is what Jesus told us. It’s because Protestants deny the sacraments as special graces and even characterize some Catholic sacraments as “works”. which they have to because they deny the apostolic succession of authority to deliver them. Baptism ofcourse can in certain circumstances be given by anyone because of what we understand that sacrament as doing. Marriage can be performed by Deacons because we understand the man and woman as the ministers of the sacrament with the church giving its witness and consent. In any case Catholics don’t see sacraments as works but Gifts given to the Church by Jesus in his ministry that we didn’t earn. If sacraments weren’t important it would be strange that Jesus placed so much emphasis on baptism, confession and Eucharist. One has to understand that in Paul’s church all of these were central and accepted to the people he was talking to….when he is talking to pagans it’s assumed once they receive the gospel they will then join the church and receive the sacraments…

I would like to share a deeply transformative experience that occurred after I had been away from church and faith for nearly twenty years. I was saved and baptized when I was 7 but that was a long time ago. I had stopped reading the Bible, praying or going to church for decades. I was at my great aunt’s funeral, which was nearing its end, I was sitting quietly at the back of the congregation. As I was reflecting on my own absence from faith over the years, I was unexpectedly touched by the Holy Spirit in a manner I had never anticipated or believed possible. Suddenly, I felt a sensation like lightning striking my chest, followed by an overwhelming flood of divine unconditional love that surged through me. I can only describe it as liquid light, almost pouring over me like honey. Tears were pouring out of me like never before, feelings of pure peace and contentment and joy. It felt like my heart would explode from love if it kept growing in strength. This was so intense that my wife had to assist me to the bathroom because I was unable to feel my body and needed to completely surrender. If it had been a normal church service I would've been at the altar. Despite my concerns about how others might view me at the funeral, I could not resist the power of what was happening to me, I was receiving what some call the baptism of the Holy Spirit, others say he just refills you with his spirit and that you received the baptism at conversion. Either way, this was the work of God. Once in the bathroom, lying on the floor and fully surrendering to this experience, a vision began to unfold....I was enveloped by a brilliant, golden-white light, and I saw cathedral-like windows stretching endlessly upwards into the distance...the golden white light pouring into the room. Within this light, a throne appeared covered in jewels of all kinds. Nobody was sitting on it, as I remembered Jesus said no man had seen the father but him. And to the right of the throne was a lamb gazing at me. Above the throne, three golden crowns adorned with red jewels emerged, which I later was told by the Holy Spirit was the promises and inheritance God has made to me and my family. Our crowns of life. The next morning, the Holy Spirit instructed me to share my testimony with every church in my county. I have been following this guidance, speaking to a few people at times and, at other times, addressing entire congregations. I still feel his presence daily as there are times there is a warm fuzzy fire like sensation in my chest when I need soothing or directing. Jesus referred to this as the living water springing forth from within. I have learned to pay attention to this as often it's him getting my attention to something happening around me or guiding me. This experience has served as a profound reminder of God’s presence and promises, despite my long absence from church and scripture. I share this testimony to highlight the transformative power of divine love and grace and to affirm that even after a significant period away from faith, God's presence can reach us in the most unexpected and profound ways.

The thief on the cross was presumably not baptized. Does that mean he would not go to heaven? Of course not! Belief and baptism are necessary to those who have the opportunity to obtain them. If they were to be impeded from being able to believe or be baptized, and that could be the case for many different reasons, then God would judge them in accordance with what they were responsible for. Christ says in Matthew that, like Jonah, he would be in the belly of the earth for 3 days. Acts tells us Christ remained on earth for 40 days before He ascends. So there were 43 days BEFORE Christ went to Heaven. Did the good thief go ahead of the Lord to make sure the lights were on for His arrival? Or, more likely, Paradise that Christ mentions, is Abrahams Boosom. The place where the prisoners Christ preached to in 1st Peter were awaiting the Messiah

1. Scripture does **not** teach the idea that we need to send anyone for us to the throne of God to ask for grace or mercy, anyone including Mary. On the contrary, we are warmly invited to approach God's throne. Hebrews 4:14-16 ESV - *Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.* 2. That little word "until" shows that Mary was not perpetually a virgin. And, yes, it is in the original Greek. Grammar is not complex. Matthew 1:24-25 ESV - *When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.* 3. Jesus exalted the word of God and obedience to it above his family members. Matthew 12:46-50 ESV - *While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, asking to speak to him. But he replied to the man who told him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.* This is a companion passage to Matthew 12. Luke 11:27-28 ESV - *As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!” But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”* 4.

Correct, but the works isn’t what is saving them. Works is simply the evidence of salvation. Jesus sacrifice on the cross does the saving. The Catholic man has no understanding of baptism, and he definitely did not win this debate. The woman just doesn’t know her stuff that well. Baptisim doesnt mean what he says. Baptism doesn’t give a person salvation. The word baptism comes from the Greek word “Baptizo” which means immersion, or to dip or plunge. Baptism represents the death, BURIAL and resurrection of Jesus Christ. God commands us to die to our old sinful self, and be resurrected to new life in Christ Jesus. This is the meaning of baptisim. This is why infant baptisim is heretical, because a baby cannot make this decision. They simply do not have the entail capacity to make such a decision. Second, we are not saved through works as many Catholics believe. Ephesians 2:8 says “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one may boast. It’s quite clear that we are not saved by works. The works are simply the evidence that we have salvation. James 2:18 says faith without works is dead. The works is the evidence; not what does the saving. If we could be saved by works, there would be no need for Jesus to die on the cross! This again is heretical. We cannot earn our way to heaven by doing good works. Our good works are worthless rags to God. We can never be good enough for him unless we accept Jesus’s death on the cross (his sacrifice) which justifies us. Romans 3:10 None is righteous, no, not one; 11 no one understands; no one seeks for God. 12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.” Jesus Christ sacrifice on the cross is what saves, NOTHING ELSE. Not works, not baptism, nothing. Jesus says in John 14;6 “No one comes to the father except through me” Often, Catholics want to Earn salvation by works but that mentality will lead them to hell. We cannot be saved by any act accept trusting in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour and having faith in him. The key to this debate is studying Gods inerrant word. The truth will set you free.

Matt. 7: 13 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. God gave us the plan of salvation and made it available to us. It had not been given to the thief, but his faith saved him. God can do what He wants. We cannot live however we want and believe that the Lord will blindly accept what we know to be wrong. He is merciful, but He is also just. ❤

What you don't understand is that when you are saved, you receive the Holy Spirit, and it is the guarantee of eternal life and is clearly written in scripture. With the Holy Spirit inside of you, God has made you a new creation with new desires that do not take pleasure in sin. It is not possible for a born-again Christian to make a habit of sinning. So, someone who has the Holy Spirit and knows they are saved can not just live in unlimited sin for the rest of their life. They cannot. If someone lives in much sin claiming they are saved, they were likely never saved because you recognize a born-again Christian by their fruit, what they produce. A born-again Christian produces good works. The bible is clear on the fact that the Holy Spirit is the guarantee of eternal life, meaning when you receive it, you can not lose your salvation, you can not if you recieved it in the first place.

@Beatnik59 Ай бұрын

It isn't that the Holy Spirit is this "guarantee of eternal life." It is that the Holy Spirit is the very essence of life itself. The Bible clearly shows that the Holy Spirit is the giver of life. It is always portrayed as "breath," or God breathing life into creation. It is not only the saved who have this breath, but all of the living, including the plants and the animals, the saints and the sinners. This is a profound thing, a free gift, and a gift so ubiquitous, and so necessary, nothing on this earth would be alive without it. It is that divine spark that separates things that are alive, and things that are not. So, yes. Those who are "born again" have the Holy Spirit. Those who have yet to be "born again" have the Holy Spirit. Those who will never be "born again" have this spirit. And the reason all of them have this spirit is because, if they didn't have this "breath of life," they wouldn't be alive. The presence of the Holy Spirit must come before baptism because, if it wasn't there, there would be no person to baptize, and nothing that would motivate a person to even do so.

Catholics do not believe in a works doctrine we believe we are saved through faith and obedience. When you become a Christian you have to "believe", come to the knowledge of the truth, "receive" Jesus, "confess" him as Lord and savior, "confess" your sins and "repent" of your sins... Those are all works so it's not just faith alone where you do nothing at all. Also the Cathecism states one can be baptised by intent if you did not have the knowledge or opportunity to do so so it all just comes down to obedience if your faith is true you will do what God says

Is the Catholic Church Jesus’ original church❓ The quotes provided below are historical facts in reference to our early church which existed prior to Romes adoption of Christianity in 313 A.D. Church: 📖"Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.” [St. Ignatius of Antioch - Letter to the Smyrneans 8 (c. A.D. 110)] Bishop, Priest & Deacon: 📖“Since, then, I have had the privilege of seeing you, through Damas your most worthy bishop, and through your worthy presbyters Bassus and Apollonius, and through my fellow-servant the deacon Sotio, whose friendship may I ever enjoy, because he is subject to the bishop as to the grace of God, and to the presbytery as to the law of Jesus Christ [St. Ignatius of Antioch- Letter to the Magnesians 2 (c. A.D. 110)]. Eucharist: 📖“Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ, which have come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God... They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, Ash that suffered for our sins and that the Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes.” [St. Ignatius of Antioch - Letter to the Smyrnaeans 6-7 (c. A.D. 110)]. Scripture: 📖“[W]hoever perverts the sayings of the Lord for his own desires, and says that there is neither resurrection nor judgment, is the firstborn of Satan. Let us leave the foolishness and the false teaching of the crowd and turn back to the word that was delivered to us in the beginning.” [St. Polycrap of Smyrna - Letter to the Philippians 7 (c. A.D. 135)]. Sunday: 📖“But Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which God, having wrought a change in the darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ our Savior on the same day rose from the dead.” [St. Justin Martyr - First Apology 67 (c. A.D. 151)]. Actions/Works: 📖“We have learned from the prophets, and we believe it is true, that punishments, and chastisements, and good rewards, are rendered according to the merit of each man's actions. If it is not so, then all things happen by fate, and nothing is in our own power. If it is fated that this man be good, and this other evil, the former is not meritorious nor the latter blameworthy [St. Justin Martyr - First Apology 43 (c. A.D. 151)]. Apostolic Succession: 📖“It is within the power of all, in every church, who may wish to see the truth, to contemplate clearly the Tradition of the apostles manifested throughout the whole world; and we are in a position to reckon up those who were instituted bishops in the churches by the apostles, and [to demonstrate] the succession of these men to our own times; those who neither taught nor knew anything these [heretics] rave about.” [St. Irenaeus of Lyons - Against Heresies 3:3:1 (c. A.D. 189)] Baptism: 📖“The children shall be baptized first. All the children who can answer for themselves, let them answer. If there are any children who cannot answer for themselves, let their parents answer for them, or someone else from their family.” [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 21 (c. A.D. 215)]. Confession: 📖“After this, one of the bishops present, at the request of all, laying his hand on him who is ordained bishop, shall pray this way: O God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. pour forth the power that is from you, of "the princely Spirit' that you delivered to your beloved Child, Jesus Christ, and that he bestowed on your holy apostles, who established the Church that hallows you everywhere, for the endless glory and praise of your name. Father, "who knows the hearts [of all]” grant this servant, who you have chosen for the episcopate, to feed your holy flock and serve as your high priest blamelessly night and day, and unceasingly turn away wrath from your face and offer to you the gifts of the holy Church. And that by the high priestly Spirit he may have authority "to forgive sins" according to your command.” [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 2-3 (c. A.D. 215)]. Confirmation: 📖“The bishop will then lay his hand upon them, invoking, "Lord God, you who have made these worthy of the removal of sins through the bath of regeneration, make them worthy to be filled with your Holy Spirit, grant to them your grace, that they might serve you according to your will, for to you is the glory, Father and Son with the Holy Spirit, in the holy Church, now and throughout the ages of the ages. Amen." After this he pours the oil into his hand, and laying his hand on each of their heads, says, "I anoint you with holy oil in God the Father Almighty, and Christ Jesus, and the Holy Spirit." Then, after sealing each of them on the forehead, he shall give them the kiss of peace and say, "The Lord be with you." And the one who has been baptized shall say, "And with your spirit." So shall he do to each one [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 21-22 (c. A.D. 215). Peter’s Authority: 📖“The Lord says to Peter: "I say to you,' he says, “that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it. And to you I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven. [Mt 16:18-19]. On him he builds the Church, and commands him to feed the sheep [Jn 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed the others were also what Peter was [apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, by which it is made clear that there is one Church and one chair.... If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he think that he holds the faith? If he deserts the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he be confident that he is in the Church?.” [St. Cyprian of Carthage - Unity of the Catholic Church 4; first edition (Treatise 1:4) (A.D. 251)]. These few topics (but a glimpse) were not only discussed but settled BEFORE Rome adopted Christianity (The Catholic Church) and eventually became The Roman Catholic Church as it also adopted its name after 313 A.D. Is the Catholic Church Jesus’ original church❓Yes❗️ Does this excuse all its mistakes and sins from the record❓Of course not❗️As Christians, we are called to hold the church accountable, not leave it and let evil flourish within it. This refusal of accountability within every Christian has led to over 40,000 diferente Christian denominations and the ignorance which has flourished from it. 🕊️”And his gifts were that some should be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ; so that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the cunning of men, by their craftiness in deceitful wiles. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,” Ephesians 4:11-15 We are called by God to unite! What better church to do it under than the one he started. Historical fact that can be easily confirmed by any Christian historian is that the Holy Spirit who is God, who sees past, present and future chose the Catholic Church to compile the Bible, specifically the New Testament which all Christians base their entire religion from and yet reject God’s decision to have picked the Catholic Church.

I am a Protestant, however I have spoken to many Catholic friends. Once I heard the following statement I have truly debated my own beliefs and have considered converting. They said, when it comes to theology and debating doctrine, not just conversationally but on the larger scale with bigger issues, it always goes back to the Vatican. Which is so true, why do we take a watered down version as truth? The Bible says do not add or take away yet clearly as Protestants we have done so thus why the Catholic Bible keeps in and has extra books, 7 Old Testament books are in the Catholic Bible. So how can I grapple with those facts as a Christian? I am absolutely not a perfect Christian and have a hard time as it is so converting would be hard, but I do like the idea of following more clear levels of right and wrong, rather than a hazy sometimes it’s ok in certain churches and so on. So I’m still trying to navigate the idea myself.

We believe as Catholic Grace is always there for us to Choose. Up until the moment you die here on Earth. You choose to stay far away from sin and the Near occasions of sin. Anyone can be saved but once you vow you’re a Christian or a Catholic you should always uphold The 10 Commandments. Faith without works dead but ANYONE can be forgiven. Heck I could go to Hell/ Purgatory and an Athiest who never knew any better could go into Heaven after Death. Only God knows that. I have no say if a person is saved or not. Just Guide them and Inform them of the Truth. Seeing this made me feel bad for other Faith that are not Catholic. God bless always sister in Christ! 🙏

I really enjoyed this, this was truly insightful. However what kept nudging me is that at the end of the day, when Christ returns, He isn’t coming for a divided body or focus on those with the right doctrines or denominations, He will be back for those who reflect Him, those who are led by His Spirit (Romans 8:14). The goal of the Christian faith isn’t heaven, not even so we have good morals, the goal is so we will be conformed to the image of Christ (Romans 8:29, 2 Corinthians 3:18, Colossians 3:10, Galatians 2:20, Ephesians 4:24, etc) God wants to populate the world with Christlikeness, to restore it to holiness and righteousness, that’s what Jesus was on earth for. So in as much we live by logic and practice denominational faith or defend traditions (which keep us in line), a personal relationship with God through the Holy Spirit is supposed to be the focus of our lives. Being led by the Holy Spirit will produce christlikeness in us in the form of Love (Galatians 5:22-23), which is the sole differentiator between us and the world (John 13:35). I felt I should share this as well.

Catholics have weirdo beliefs like this that just pop up out of nowhere and you can’t ask questions and must believe in it otherwise you can’t be a Catholic which necessarily means you go to hell. Yeah that does not sound like the loving God of the Bible.

Repent today and sin no more and once you do that all good work will come through holly spirit because only then you are truly doing a good deed.

I can attest that the protestant way to salvation is the truth. I experienced it when i gave myself up to Christ the first time. I was desperate and on drugs. I was laying in fetal position in the shower on my 3rd week of puking bile and blood coming off of an 8 year 50 bag a day IV fentanyl habit. I was agnostic before the moment i desperately gave myself up to Christ and asked him to end my suffering. Everything started glowing and was warm and fuzzy. Christ lifted all suffering. My depression was completely lifted. I went through withdrawals for another week, but it didn't bother me, and for the first time, i didn't have another craving or felt the need to escape from detox. I started talking to people and eating again. I was seeking out the word of God. I was hungry for it. I haven't felt that good since i was a kid. I had gone through the same detox like 20 times before but never felt that way and always relapsed. I was always depressed even before i got on drugs. Christ changed my heart and took away any desire to sin and gave me true peace and happiness. It was that moment in the shower completely desperate after suffering in hell for 8 years, and my experience of true happiness for the first time that made me believe in God without a doubt. I also was demonically possessed and had extreme cases of sleep paralysis almost every night for 8 years, even during the short periods of clean time previously. My dog would always bark at me in the middle of the night as soon as I went into sleep paralysis. She could sense the demon attacking me. I would also wake up sometimes from it but get sucked back into it. I would have to throw myself off the bed to wake myself up. It wouldn't be enough, and my gf would have to get up and I'd be sitting against the bed with my head slumped, forcing out a whisper saying"hit me." She would hit me until i woke up. I then would stand up and run into the living room while collapsing multiple times from being sucked back into it. I would dive onto the floor, and the pain from banging my arms and knees would finally be enough to wake up for good. My gf and I knew demons were real from experiencing these moments over and over. After i gave myself to Christ, I never experienced sleep paralysis ever again after that. I was saved from that moment on. I believe I had to go through that extent of suffering to finally come to Jesus.

As a former non-denominational Christian and recent convert to Catholicism, I would say this discussion illustrates why I came to my own conclusions. I think God's saving power encompasses all we believe and more in ways that go beyond our understanding (which incidentally is also in the Catechism). Much of the Protestant arguments against Catholicism-I know because I used to make these arguments myself- are based on an incomplete understanding of what the Catholic Church actually teaches. In other words, most of what I hear against Catholicism from other Christians (yes, we are Christians too) are strawman's arguments.

I’ll give one small example. It is actually Roman Catholic dogma that Mary ascended bodily into heaven. This was declared ex cathedra by a pope and is binding dogma for the Roman Catholic. It is a plan fact that this was never taught by any prominent church father for 1000 years. So much for all the early church fathers agreed with Roman Catholic dogma.

This book is a compilation of my thoughts and feelings on the word of God, written in the format of poetry. It wasn’t an easy decision to open myself up to this level of emotional vulnerability. However, I have come to a point in my life where it feels like I have a greater purpose than my own interest. In this world of chaos, discord, and turmoil, I feel strongly compelled to do whatever I can help ease the anxieties and burdens we all feel within us. Writing this book has been therapeutic to my heart and mind. I hope that you can find the same kind of peace from reading these words as I felt while writing them. None of us are immune from difficult and even sometimes tragic circumstances in our lives. Life happens to all of us. It is not what happens to us in life that defines who we are; rather, it is how we react to our life experiences that defines us. None of us are perfect and mistakes will always be made as we navigate the complexities of our existence. Having said that, peace is still achievable even as we fumble from time to time. It is all a matter of proper perspective and mindset. I hope as you read these words and reflect on the meaning behind them, you will find new perspectives. I further hope your newly found perspective is one that leads you to peace of mind and heart. In all things, if you turn your heart to The Lord, you will always have the peace you seek. In Matthew 6:33 (ESV) we are taught, “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” It is only in God were true and everlasting peace can ever be found.

Who gets to decide or claim they are still saved because they accepted Jesus? You will sin again.. it just about inevitable as human beings to not sin. If it were the case that you are saved by faith alone etc.. then you must explain and define what the faith really means. Faith is not just believing. It is an ACT! For example, if you take a married couple who are having marriage problems and are going through a divorce. They will have to face a judge in court to go over why they are getting a divorce etc.. Lets say the wife's argument is that her husband was not faithful to her. How would the judge in this case know if this were true or not? The judge would need proof of the unfaithful claim made. The wife can say things like her husband committed Adultery, he lied to her, he stole from her, he never did anything for her, he didn't love her etc. In this case the judge can officially say this man was not faithful to his wife and they are divorced. The marriage is dead. Now, if you were to look at this another way as to if the man was an honest person, worked hard, cared for his wife, was loyal to, and last but not least loved his wife... then the Judge can claim this marriage is good and valid! My point in all of this is our faith in God is not just to claim he is your lord and savior and or just believe in him. It is a ongoing relationship as if you were married to God. By showing God that you are being faithful you must do all the loving duties a good relations requires. Then, when you face the JUDGE you will have a very good fighting argument that you were faithful! This is the beautiful thing of the Catholic faith. It is a never ending fighting and challenging relationship to be faithful to God. The more you work at it the stronger and better it gets. And, it will increase your chances on receiving God's grace for eternal salvation.

I don’t know ant Protestants who believe that though I’ve heard this argument online. I think they’re countering the idea that you need to do works in order to be saved. Yes, you must have faith to be saved but you must also have genuine remorse and repentance for your sins which brings about a changed heart that no longer wants to sin. And through a continual relationship with Jesus, you produce good works through the working of the Holy Spirit. A person who only says he believes in Jesus but has no change in his behavior is not genuine in his faith or a baby Christian. How cruel would it be if God said you have to be perfect and sinless before you could be saved. God is so merciful and Jesus came to save sinners after all and not the righteous. It’s not up to me to judge whether they’re saved though as only God knows the inner workings of the heart.

I think the point is that it’s hard for us to interpret the Bible on our own. Human beings would always come up with different interpretations. God would need some kind of structure in place in order to interpret the Bible infallibly. The Holy Spirit used human authors, human prophets and now its using the magisterium of the church instituted by Christ.

@@judgedredd31 jesus took part in all the jewish works and traditions, he did not condemn them or the law. He then instituted new works and traditions such as baptism, confession, and the eucharist. Theres not only scripture that shows that these things were practiced in the first century, theres plenty of historical evidence outside the scripture, a lot of it written by bishops who were ordained by the apostles themselves. The holy spirit used the apostles to teach without error and they passed on their authority with a laying of hands to the next set of bishops. There is a multitude of evidence that even from the first couple decades, there was a structure and hierarchy in the church: Bishops, priests, deacon, then laity. The bishop of Rome was clearly the highest seat from 1st century evidence. The holy spirit worked through this structure and frequently squashed heresy from individuals that thought the Holy Spirit was showing them truth. Yes we frequently feel like the Holy Spirit is telling us something but if that something is going against the church then its most likely a different spirit that wants to keep us blind to and divided from the church.

‭1 Peter 3:21 KJV‬ [21] The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: [21] and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also-not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, - according to this verse it's not the baptism that saves you, but the pledge of a clear conscience. So how can an infant make a pledge.

But for god to deny a non baptized man into the kingdom of heaven, if such man couldn't receive baptisms but accepted the word of jesus and his grace later on in life is to deny the word of god and the nature of his love and understand of the circumstance of free will and what's beyond our own control. Its not your fault if you disnt get baptized and found Jesus until your final moments. If you know about baptism you should get baptized and confirm your faith to Jesus. If circumstances prevents it, Jesus will still accept you into his kingdom, as scriptures confirm. This is how Jesus operates and scriptures are very clear. Baptisms is important but you are not condemned if the word of god doesnt reach you to begin with. God sees through everything and understand the world we live in and the fact that not everyone is able to even get to know his word or being able to become baptized in time. To deny this is to deny not only the scriptures but the teachings of the Catholic and all the other Christian denominations.

@@Alex-dr6or Regarding baptism, there are verses that specifically say baptism is required to be saved. Some of them are Acts 2:38, John 3:5, and 1 Peter 3:21. Regarding those who never hear the word of God, there are many passages that say otherwise. Romans 1:18-23, Romans 10:13-15 and 17, Acts 4:12 are three good examples. I don’t base my beliefs on the teachings of men. I base it on what God says in the Bible. If a person says something that aligns with God’s word, I agree with that person but my belief isn’t based on their teachings. If a person says something that doesn’t align with God’s word, I’d rather align myself with God and his teachings than the teachings of a person. So if I’m denying the teachings of many different churches (not all - there are Christian denominations who don’t believe what you do regarding baptism), so be it. I understand that both of these include a level of unfairness. Unfairness for those who never heard the name of Jesus and unfairness for those who died before being able to get baptized. However, I also believe God’s ways are higher than mine and he’s a just God. I don’t have to understand, I don’t have to agree, but I do have to follow him and his word. It’s not our place to subject God to what we as sinful humans believe is fair. However, it is our place to trust that God is still good and still merciful and have enough humility to understand that we won’t always understand why certain groups of people aren’t saved.

@@maddoxcampbell2230 The Church of Christ is Protestant. There are three branches main branches of Christianity in the US: Protestant, Orthodox, and Catholic. Some people do not consider it to be Protestant and consider it to be its own independent branch, but most people use the system with three branches and sub-branches. The difference between each branch is their highest source of authority. For Protestants, it’s the Bible. For Catholics, it’s a combination of the pope, church councils, Catholic tradition, and the Bible. For Orthodox, it’s tradition, the Bible, and the patriarch. If you don’t consider it to be its own branch, the only one of these that COC would fall under is Protestant. Also, there is a difference between studying your Bible and studying religion.

My experience precisely. To know the u seen one in a way that is almost scary...the savior comes to you when you pray and you also feel his presence in your heart. Even when we don't FEEL his presence, we KNOW that HE abideth in us by faith. Faith works. So if we abide in his presence or spirit we won't fulfill the lust of the flesh. That means that all of us love sinful things naturally. Without even thinking but with spirit no work we do is righteous. Why? Because that work doesn't come naturally. Righteousness is a natural work of Christ very own Spirit. This is what was poured out at pentecost and is still here today. The life of both the Father and the son given to those who believe. This works will naturally come out of those who abide. The problem is that professed Christians try to be Christlike without abiding in Christ. That is self righteous. Only God and Christ are good.
