No "Trinity" in the Scriptures . . . No "Incarnation" in the Scriptures . . . No "Bible" in the Scriptures . . . No list of Books that make up the Canon in the Scriptures . . . How about some of your Protestant traditions?? No "Infant dedications" in the Scriptures No "Altar calls" in the...

No - as a Protestant, you're part of ONE of tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually splintering sects that ALL disagree with their fellow splinter groups yet ALL claim the Holy Spirit made'em do it. What a mess . . .

The SAME Spirit that drove the Early Church Fathers to declare the Canon of Scripture is the SAME Spirit that guided them to ALL truth (John 16:12-15). They didn't write the Scriptures NOR did they start the traditions of of Infant Baptism. That was the Apostles . . .

I submit to the Authority of the Church, whose earthly head is the Bishop of Rome. I do NOT submit to him in ALL matters - just in matters of faith and morals. If he ordered me to pick the Yankees in the World Series, I am not bound to submit.

Really?? THAT'S your out?? Soooo - if you can't trust them with THIS teaching - WHY do you trust them when they declared the Canon of the New Testament, Einstein??

And what a splintered mess it is . . . . Tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually-splintering sects who ALL disagree with each other yet ALL claim they were "led" by the Holy Spirit. God isn't the Author of confusion - your independent Protestant pastors are . . .

Yup - I certainly did see it. Apparently YOU didn't read my response. In post #8, I pointed out very clearly that there is nothing wrong with the term "Roman Catholic" because it refers to the Liturgical Rite. I ALSO pointed out that they DIDN'T use the term "Roman Catholic CHURCH". Go back...

Once again - you read but you FAIL to understand. Let's start with "Roman Church." I belong to the Catholic Church. If I live in New York, I would be a Catholic who belonged to the New York Church. If I live in New Orleans - same thing. Those in ROME belong to the Roman Church - I don't. As...

Hogwash. The Scriptures tell us of the ENTIRE households of Cornelius, Stephanas and the Philippian Jailer being baptized. Entire households had people of EVERY age. The testimonies of the Early Church Fathers CONCUR with this by stating emphatically that baptizing children and INFANTS was...

WRONG. The Eastern Orthodox Churches and the Eastern CATHOLIC Churches are NOT the same entity. The various Liturgical Rites within the Catholic church are in FULL Communion with the Bishop of Rome. "FULL Communion" means that there are no doctrinal differences - just differences of Liturgical...

We know that there are exceptions to the rule. God CAN and DOES make exceptions - wherever and whenever He pleases. HOWEVER, Peter told the 3000 who were Baptized at Pentecost that you get baptized - and that's HOW you receive the gift of the Holy Spirit: Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, “Repent...

Yup. There are MANY false sects disguised under the umbrella of "Christianity". The Catholic Church is the Original Tree from which Protestantism splintered - and continues to splinter to the tune of tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually splintering sects that ALL teach different...

Just to clarify - they aren't "divisions". The different Liturgical Rites are largely different cultural traditions - but there are no doctrinal divisions as with Protestantism.

WRONG. By your own admission, the Oxford English Dictionary's heading is "Roman Catholic". This is a correct term because it refers to the Roman Catholic Rite. There is also a Melkite Catholic Rite. A Maronite Catholic Rite A Byzantine Catholic Rite A Coptic Catholic Rite A Alexandrian...

Yes, Catholics are always "abusive" when they put lying anti-Catholics like yourself in their place. What hypocrisy . . . Now you're getting somewhere . . . To make the Protestant blunder that Scripture is our Sole authority is patently anti-Scriptural. This IS what you meant - and now you're...

Not sure HOW many time I have to provide you with this information before it penetrates into your skull - but here it is again. These are the official titles of the Pope - and not the ignorant CNN versions . . . - Bishop of Rome - Vicar of Jesus Christ - Successor of the Prince of the...

Funny thing is - I never said that Water Baptism was "ALL" there is. I said that Water Baptism is necessary for salvation because the BIBLE says so. In case you haven't been reading the posts - it's been MY point all along - which is the Catholic and Biblical position - that Water Baptism is...

The only "Roman" Churches I know of are the parishes of Rome - but they are part of the Catholic Church. Never heard of the "Roman Church".

The problem is that neither of you geniuses has been able to show me where the Bible says that the Bible is our SOLE Authority. Chapter and Verse, please . . .

I would HOPE that you would come up with something better than they did because they are dead wrong. The bible doesn't teach that Baptism is "unnecessary". On the contrary - it teaches that unless we are Baptized we cannot hope to be saved.
