From Protestant to Catholic: Trinity's Conversion Story

Trinity grew up with both of her parents attending bible college, going to church together with her family, and participating in the children's ministry at the church. She was totally content with her Protestant faith until one day she met someone who made her question everything she had ever known. Listen to her story to witness how Trinity went from a lifelong Protestant to a Traditional Roman Catholic! #catholic #conversionstories #catholic #catholicconvert

@Je Div: How do you know the books in the Bible are the right ones?

[@jediv3381]

@@johnflorio3576 *Jesus and Apostles knew didn't they? They already called "partial Scriptures" Scriptures in their days. So why do r ctists say Scriptures was not Scriptures? They also appointed the Church (referring to all churches + all believers)(Not r ct) to decide on things (including on the canon).* you said How do you know the books in the Bible are the right ones?

I love conversion testimonies. I was in prayer not long ago and was given this. Jesus is a King, and in the Jewish faith he would have many wives. His spouses are the Nuns or Sisters, they marry Christ. They like Mother Theresa of Calcutta. She gave up everything to follow Jesus, Mother Angelica of EWTN, she gave everything up to do His will. The sisters have a ceremony to give Jesus everything. To love Him with all their heart, they marry Jesus. But He has but one Mother, he chooses to be His Queen, Mary, she is Our advocate. Look this up in the Old Testament. All Jewish kings did this. All protestants should look this up to find this truth and to love Mary as our Mother, as our Advocate. God bless you all

Thank you for your great story. It's true Satan only likes to copy Catholics with the black mass and other things because this is the church Christ has started.

What a fantastic conversion story! Love the name Trinity. In fact we get the word Trinity from an early Church Father named Tertullian. Below are some interesting facts about him! Tertullian Tertullian, a Latin theologian who was an early Church Father in the early third century, was the first to use the term "Trinity" as an explanation that…. God is the Father, God is the Son and God is the Holy Spirit. 3 persons in 1 Below you can read the writings from Tertullian on the Trinity and other teachings by this Early Church Father Tertullian doctrine on the Trinity. God is the Father, God is the Son, God is the Holy Spirit. 3 persons in 1. (Not In The Bible) Tertullian against Praxeas Ch2 (160-240 ad) As if in this way also one were not All, in that All are of One, by unity (that is) of substance; while the mystery of the dispensation is still guarded, which distributes the Unity into a Trinity, placing in their order the three Persons -- the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost: three, however, not in condition, but in degree; not in substance, but in form; not in power, but in aspect; yet of one substance, and of one condition, and of one power, inasmuch as He is one God, from whom these degrees and forms and aspects are reckoned, under the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost Tertullian against Praxeas Ch 2 (160-240 ad) The Catholic doctrine of the Trinity and unity, sometimes called the Divine Economy, or dispensation of the personal relations of the Godhead Tertullian on Being Born Again of Water and Spirit is Baptism Tertullian On Baptism ch 16 [160-240 AD] "We have, indeed, a second [baptismal] font which is one with the former [water baptism]: namely, that of blood, of which the Lord says: 'I am to be baptized with a baptism' [Luke 12:50], when he had already been baptized. He had come through water and blood, as John wrote [1 John 5:6], so that he might be baptized with water and glorified with blood. . . . This is the baptism which replaces that of the fountain, when it has not been received, and restores it when it has been lost" Tertullian on the Bishops of Rome Tertullian Prescription Against Heretics ch 22 (160- 240 ad) Was anything withheld from the knowledge of Peter, who is called "the rock on which the church should be built," who also obtained "the keys of the kingdom of heaven," with the power of "loosing and binding in heaven and on earth?" Tertullian Prescription Against Heretics ch 32 (160- 240 ad) For it is evident that those men lived not so long ago,--in the reign of Antoninus for the most part,--and that they at first were believers in the doctrine of the Catholic Church, in the church of Rome under the episcopate of the blessed Eleutherus, the 13th Bishop of Rome until on account of their ever restless curiosity,with which they even infected the brethren, they were more than once expelle Tertullian The Prescription Against Heretics ch 32 [160-240 AD] "This is the way in which the apostolic churches transmit their lists: like the church of the Smyrneans, which records that Polycarp was placed there by John, like the church of the Romans, where Clement was ordained by Peter" (Demurrer Against the Heretics 32:2 [A.D. 200]). Tertullian on the Eucharist (The Body &Blood of Jesus Christ ) Tertullian Prescription Against Heretics ch 36 (160- 240 ad) This she seals with the water of baptism, arrays with the Holy Ghost, feeds with the Eucharist, cheers with martyrdom, and against such a discipline thus (maintained) she admits no gainsayer Tertullian On the Resurrection of the Flesh ch 8 [160-240 AD] "There is not a soul that can at all procure salvation, except it believe whilst it is in the flesh, so true is it that the flesh is the very condition on which salvation hinges. And since the soul is, in consequence of its salvation, chosen to the service of God, it is the flesh which actually renders it capable of such service. The flesh, indeed, is washed [in baptism], in order that the soul may be cleansed . . . the flesh is shadowed with the imposition of hands [in confirmation], that the soul also may be illuminated by the Spirit; the flesh feeds in the Eucharist on the body and blood of Christ, that the soul likewise may be filled with God" Tertullian The Chaplet ch 3 (160-240 ad) We take also, in congregations before daybreak, and from the hand of none but the presidents, the sacrament of the Eucharist, which the Lord both commanded to be eaten at meal-times, and enjoined to be taken by all alike. As often as the anniversary comes round, we make offerings for the dead as birthday honours….We feel pained should any wine or bread, even though our own, be cast upon the ground. Tertullian on the Catholic Church👈😳 Tertullian Prescription Against Heretics ch 32 (160- 240 ad) "Where was [the heretic] Marcion, that shipmaster of Pontus, the zealous student of Stoicism? Where was Valentinus, the disciple of Platonism? For it is evident that those men lived not so long ago,--in the reign of Antoninus for the most part,--and that they at first were believers in the doctrine of the Catholic Church, in the Church of Rome under the episcopate of the blessed Eleutherus, [the 13th Bishop of Rome 174-189AD] until on account of their ever restless curiosity,with which they even infected the brethren, they were more than once expelled Tertullian Prescription Against Heretics ch 35 (160- 240 ad) Catholics appeal always to evidence traceable to apostolic sources. Tertullian Prescription Against Heretics ch 36 (160- 240 ad) Catholics never change the Scriptures, which always testify for them Tertullian Against Marcion Book 4 ch 5 (160-240 ad) By the rule of antiquity, the Catholic Gospels are found to be true, including the real St. Luke's. Marcion's only a mutilated edition. The heretic's weakness and inconsistency in ignoring the other Gospels. On the whole, then, if that is evidently more true which is earlier, if that is earlier which is from the very beginning, if that is from the beginning which has the apostles for its authors, then it will certainly be quite as evident, that that comes down from the apostles, which has been kept as a sacred deposit in the churches of the apostles. Tertullian Against Marcion Book 4 ch 4 (160-240 ad) that portion of it which we alone receive is so much older than Marcion, that Marcion, himself once believed it, when in the first warmth of faith he contributed money to the Catholic church, which along with himself was afterwards rejected, when he fell away from our truth into his own heresy Tertullian Against Marcion Book 4 ch 9 (160-240 ad) These types signified that a man, once a sinner, but afterwards purified from the stains thereof by the word of God, was bound to offer unto God in the temple a gift, even prayer and thanksgiving in the church through Christ Jesus, who is the Catholic Priest of the Father. Tertullian against Praxeas Ch 2 (160-240 ad) The Catholic doctrine of the Trinity and unity, sometimes called the Divine Economy, or dispensation of the personal relations of the Godhead

Diabolical manifestations are very real and esp prominent in our times, it's not just something we read about in the Bible that happened 2000 years ago. Thank you for explaining the significance of the role of the Catholic priest against the diabolical, namely, possession, and how your investigation and study in this area was very instrumental in leading you to the RCC💒.

Why would anyone who is a Christian change to another faith that also believe in Christ. Are all naive thinking Jesus will only save some , and not others. Read the book of Revelation , to actually have a revelation

[@johnyang1420]

Jesus started Catholic church and has fullness of the faith. Protestant churches started by men.

[@sanjivjhangiani3243]

The short answer is that while we Catholics should not presume to judge the sincerity of others, it is better to be Catholic. Protestants have valid baptisms and marriages, but they are missing out on the complete sacramental life, which gives many helps .

[@pringlessourcream9527]

The Holy Eucharist, is the Lamb of God, the Living Bread. I am most moved every time when parishioners gather together to receive Him, all Catholic Churches around the world. We are all united in One Body in Christ.

Not really Protestant. More like a God nodder protesting her parents hypocrisy.
