You have bought this religion hook, line, and sinker.<br /><br />I hope that you'll have a time in your life when you realize that you need to read the New Testament through the eyes of faith and not through the sordid lens of the RCC.<br /><br />Let me summarize some basic things that you need to know.<br /><br />1. Salvation is through faith in Christ alone, (Ephesians 2:8-10), "not of works, lest any man should boast." When a person is saved they are automatically added to the Church which is HIS body.. (It doesn't belong to the RCC or any other denomination.)<br /><br />2. After a person is saved they should be baptized by immersion. This is the ONLY believers baptism mentioned in the New Testament. (Acts 2)<br /><br />3. After a person is saved and baptized they are expected to continue steadfastly in the "Apostles doctrine", fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer. (Acts 2) They are to be gathered together according to Mathew 18:20.<br /><br />The "breaking of bread" mentioned in Acts 2 is simple obedience to the Savior when He instituted a "remembrance of Himself" when He was alone with His disciples in the upper room on the same night that He was betrayed... By the way.. In connection with this, Christ was not introducing cannibalism... The bread and cup were symbolic of His body and blood.<br /><br />I know that you've rejected these truths many times.. That's your choice.. God doesn't force anyone to believe Him against their will.<br /><br />"A man convinced against his will,<br />Is of the same opinion still."<br /><br />One last thought, you claim to have been trained in a Baptist theological seminary.. This only proves one thing.. Not everyone that attends a Baptist Seminary is saved. If you had been, you may still have left the Baptists but you wouldn't have joined up with the Roman Catholic Church.<br /><br />I have been spending much time studying Paul's epistle to the Galations.. It occurs to me that many of the false doctrines and pagan rituals embraced by the RCC must have begun to raise their ugly heads in the churches in Galatia and this is one of the primary reasons that Paul was writing them this letter of correction.<br /><br />Truthsayer<br /><br />P.S. I would go as far as to suggest that being "in Christ" and "being in the RCC" are mutually exclusive concepts.Preston Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05870592042184171490noreply@blogger.com
