Where is either found in the Bible alone?

then what is? According to scripture pease?
Yes indeed . For a lamb is a hearer and a doer . Yes indeed .There is one thing I will say about baptism. While we know it is possible to be saved without having been baptized, because of the repentant thief on the cross, one could argue that to refuse to be baptized after getting saved would be a sin. As I said before, we are told to be baptized and we should do that, but I also want to remind everyone that to be baptized is to be completely under water, not sprinkled. You also need to understand what you are doing. There is no need to baptize a baby.
The repentant thief on the cross was not baptized, but Jesus said that he would be in paradise with him that day.
Yep . FAITH IN JESUS SAVES . And every true lamb will also get baptized , for the SPIRIT would bid them to do so .
But as we just saw , in your example , ITS FAITH IN JESUS THAT SAVES . So on that note , I say its TIME TO PRAISE THE GLORIOUS LORD .
I will tell you what. Write up a list of questions that you think I cannot answer from the Bible and number them. I will pull out the Bible and my Concordance and answer them. I am not sure specifically what you are asking about, but you have admitted that much of the doctrine and practices of the RCC are not found in scripture. What specifically are you wanting scripture for?Where is either found in the Bible alone?

The Bible does not say baptism was not necessary before Jesus died. John the Baptist was baptizing people before Jesus died.baptism was not required till the death of the savior
- Hebrews 9:15
And for this cause he is the mediator of thenew testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
- Hebrews 9:16
For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
Why should I give you scripture when you cannot provide scripture that calls the RCC "the church?" The church spoken of in scripture are those who are born again. Members of the church can be found in all types of churches, be they Independent, Baptist, Pentecostal, Methodist, Presbyterian, Wesleyan, etc.
He is talking about initially. I agree with you about what James says. Faith without works is dead. True faith produces good works. No disagreement with me on that.faith alone without charity avails nothing
1 cor 13:2
One true church is not a denomination. It is the born again believers around the globe. We make up the one true church.you will find none of those in scripture only one true church Jn 10:16

Its written on amigos heart . STAY IN that BIBLE and test all men against those words .Examples please?
Where is the doctrine of the (Bible alone)
in scripture?
Thee faith is trying to bait you into the protestant line of defense . JUST STAY with the scriptures .One true church is not a denomination. It is the born again believers around the globe. We make up the one true church.
Nothing you posted says God made the Catholic Church the one true church. When Jesus said "upon this rock, I will build my church," he was speaking of Peter's confession, not Peter himself. The confession was that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. Jesus was not starting a church with Peter as a Pope.Major covenants!
God initiated each covenant and the mediator always remains on earth mediating the covenant except for Christ who made Peter His personal representative and vicar! (Matt 16:18)
Adam
(Marriage covenant)
Noah
(Family covenant)
Abraham

New and eternal covenant founded by Jesus Christ! Matt 16:18

Lk 2:10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. ( catholic universal)
Lk 2:31 prepared before the face of all (catholic) people
Jn 1:29 lamb of God who takes way the sins of the world
Jn 3:16 for God so loved the world
1 Jn 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
Lk 2: 10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. (All people universal)
1 Tim 2:5 one mediator
Jn 10:16 One new covenant church
sorry but the true cannot be in error and does not apologize for anything
It is a kingdom with a king Jesus Christ
don’t accept anything done by the apostate modernists after 1958 especially the so called catechism
Try finding that in the catechism of the council of Trent
I am not sure what the Protestant line of defense is. I did offer to answer questions using scripture if he will post the specific questions and number them. That is the only way I can be sure what he wants to know. I am happy to answer questions using the Bible only, but the way he is saying things, I never know exactly what he is asking.Thee faith is trying to bait you into the protestant line of defense . JUST STAY with the scriptures .
Keep pointing to JESUS .
Yep . just continue on my friend . Let the Lord be praised .I am not sure what the Protestant line of defense is.
