Are you saying that Christ is NOT God?

As Vale and I have been saying....as long as one sincerely seeks God (regardless of whether they are Catholic or not), it is possible for them to receive salvation. The key statement here is "sincerely seeks God." A person who sincerely seeks God can find salvation because salvation comes only...

Because as I said, being saved is an ongoing process. When a person says that they are already saved.....they are actually committing a sin. It is the sin of presumption. The sin of presumption is relying on God's mercy and power without doing anything to deserve it or without repenting from...

The only ones who can truly say that they are saved are those who are already in Heaven. Catholics know that we have been saved by Jesus Christ through His death and resurrection, and we are in the process of being saved. We have the hope of being saved while we work out our salvation with...

Are you asking if leaving the Catholic Church would save me?

Your good works alone cannot save you. It is only the good works that comes from the Holy Spirit. In other words, the Holy Spirit working in you which follows God's will. Alone, we cannot follow God. It is only with God that all things are possible. Mark 10:17-22 As Jesus started on...

I agree.

Faith and works go together hand in hand. Faith alone does not save you and good works alone does not save you. Grace saves you. And grace comes through faith and works together hand in hand. As Vale and I stated, a non-Catholic can be saved. It is God who judges who goes to Heaven and...

The Catholic Church does not teach that all will be saved. It believes that there is a Hell. Universalism does not believe in Hell. It is possible for a non-Catholic to be saved through grace. Grace comes through faith and works. It does not come through faith "alone" as many Protestants...

My Church also uses the annointing with oil. :)

If you have children of your own, you know that there are times your children will make mistakes. As a father, you would guide them and teach them to do the right things. But when the children are gone, they make their own decisions, and parents often hope and pray that what they teach their...

The Greek word "Teknon" does not indicate the age of the child. It could also mean children two years old and under because the same word was used in Matthew 2:18....where it was referring to children 2 years old and under.

They are born with the sin that they inherited from Adam and Eve.

The Apostles were referred to as "shepherds" because they were told to feed the flock (See Acts 20:28, 1 Peter 5:2, John 21:15-17). We are the sheep, and Christ and the Apostles are shepherds. Christ is the Good Shepherd and He is certainly a leader. He is a king. The Apostles are also...

We have free will. God is not going to force us to follow and obey Him otherwise we would simply be robots. The Holy Spirit in us will not work in us if we say no to His will. Judas was chosen just like the rest of the Apostles, but he made his choice just like the rest of the Apostles. Even...

Hello Brother Michael. The fruits of the Church is also our individual fruits because we are the Church, the Body of Christ. Every member in the Body of Christ is one and not isolated from other members. Like you, we also believe that grace is a gift from God. And it is because of this grace...

Repent is only for adults. The baptism for the forgiveness of sins is for everyone. Peter was speaking to a multitude of people from different countries who had their children with them. I don't think that they left their little children at home alone by themselves.

The forgiveness of sins is for everyone because even babies have sin. Adults have personal sins, but babies have the original sin. This is the reason why St. Peter says that the promise of the Holy Spirit is also for their children. And I already showed you that children can be referred to...

Everyone because he said that the promise of the Holy Spirit would be given to them as well as to their children.

I already showed you in scripture that the Greek word for "children" (teknon) can refer to children 2 years old and under. You are constantly telling me to look up the Greek word. And now that I did, suddenly the Greek word doesn't matter anymore?
