Been there; done that. I learnt that Sola Scriptura is fake Christianity and a “doctrine of demons”. You’ve been thoroughly deceived.
The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

To someone brainwashed by fake-Christianity and blinded by anti-Catholic animus, it’s evidently VERY difficult to understand.
Did Jesus give the power to “bind and loose” to EVERYONE in Matt 16:19, 18:18?
Did Jesus give the power to forgive sins to EVERYONE in John 20:21-23?
Did Jesus give the power to cast out demons, cure the sick and raise the dead to EVERYONE in Matt 10:5-8?
To how many people did Jesus say, “feed my sheep” (John 21:15-19)? I believe it was to only ONE person … and guess who it was - surprise, surprise - it was Peter, the first Pope.
How come a replacement had to found for Judas in Acts 1? If an ordinary believer fell away or died, did the early Church officially appoint a replacement-believer?
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
Are they good shepherds too?
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
There is more than one shepherd?
The Acts church is historical per Pentecost.
No other church in existence can rattle a chain of succession to that church.
Therefore to know we are in that church, we must duplicate the doctrines and experience of that church.
The others are fake.
Glad you love it.
Fact is, the only way to know someone is in the church of Pentecost per Acts, is to duplicate it's teachings and experience.
The name means nothing, but the ingredients mean everything.

INcarnated, Einstein.
RE-incarnated would mean that He had a body of FLESH in Heaven . . .

He was a virulent liar and anti-Catholic cartoonist who had a multi-million dollar empire from his "Bible" tracts.
He was really big in the 70's and seduced a LOT of people away from the Church.
He's dead now.

Jesus NEVER said to Baptize in the "single name" of the Son.
He said to Baptize in the name of the FATHER and of the SON and of the HOLY SPIRIT (Matt. 18:19).
How many more posts until this finally sinks in??

Time for another Bible lesson . . .
The Father is GOD - But He is NOT the Son or the Holy Spirit.
The Son is GOD - but He is NOT the Father or the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is GOD - but He is NOT the Father or the Son.
God is manifest as THREE distinct Persons with THREE distinct Roles.
The Father sent the Son and the holy Spirit proceeds from the Father AND the Son.
Unfortunately - I don't have a SINGLE verse of Scripture to support this.
I have about THREE DOZEN . . .

Time for another linguistics lesson . . .
From Macmillan Dictionary:
1. REPRESENTING someone or something
Ex. - They said they came “in the name of peace.”
From Cambridge Dictionary:
1. REPRESENTING someone or something
Ex. - "Open up in the name of the law" before they broke the door down.
From Thesaurus.com:
“In the name of” synonyms
1. THROUGH
2. THROUGH the agency of
3. Under the AUTHORITY of
From english.stackesxhange.com:
What does “in the name of…” actually mean?
Putting all religious contentions aside for the sake of our language, the etymology of name offers a good place to start understanding:
Old English nama, noma "name, reputation,"
from Proto-Germanic *namon
(cognates: Old Saxon namo, Old Frisian nama, Old High German namo, German Name, Middle Dutch name, Dutch naam, Old Norse nafn, Gothic namo "name"),
from PIE *nomn- (cognates: Sanskrit nama; Avestan nama; Greek onoma, onyma; Latin nomen; Old Church Slavonic ime, genitive imene; Russian imya; Old Irish ainm; Old Welsh anu "name").
In all cultures, people of authority have always lent their reputation and their authority to their delegates. The founders and leaders of religious movements use the same delegation strategies as the founders and leaders of nations.
The English phrase in the name of simply asserts the reputation and authority of another person.
Here us an example from classic literature:
Victor Hugo's “Dramas” 1519, page 364:
“Richard Varney, in the name of God and Saint George we dub thee knight!”
This doesn’t state God’s “Singular name” as YOU keep insisting it must.
So, you see, Einstein – what I have been telling you ALL ALONG is correct.
What Peter said in Acts 2:238 was simply to be Baptized by the AUTHORITY OF Jesus Christ.
Truther,
I'm done with this forum of crazy catholics like Bread of Death and MaryGog.
Jesus said shake their dust...
So you can keep trying to get through their popery nonsense brainwashing but I've had enough.
Goodbye and I hope you get Raptured and can watch these catholics burn.
