What Do You Do When...

I would not narrow it down that far. Anyone who has pastored has rebaptized people who came forward but only got wet later.

 

look at it this way . both become catholic and you won't have to sit thru those business meetings anymore

 

Deadman,

I hear you. I'm glad she saw your pastor. And I'm glad you retracted your original statement about seeing an attorney.

I know that you are the head of your wife according to Scripture. I'm praying for you. May you have God's wisdom to lead, discern, guard, protect, love and sacrifice for your wife and family.

Blessings.

 

War Eagle!

 

You obviously are not aware of the *true* Church of Rome. It is anything but pretty beneath the surface. They do not teach salvation through Grace and Christ alone, it's their way or no way at all.

You'd be surprised at what you'd uncover about this universally beloved church. "Christian" pertains to those or a teaching of the acceptance of Christ by faith alone; not works, deeds, classes, rituals, ceremonies and the like.

I have only met a couple Catholics that have truly accepted Christ, according to Scripture.

 

I have met hundreds. I grew up Catholic, and most of my friends were Catholic thoughout college. Every one in my circle of friends was saved, and that alone was about 50 people. I'm not attempting to defend catholicism here, but to infer that there aren't many catholics who are saved Christians leans a bit towards the unrighteous side of judging.

I was not brought up Catholic, so that would only make since, as I know very few. Members of the church can be saved like any other, the church's doctrine does not teach salvation according to the Bible.

At least, there's never been an invitation to Biblical salvation at any service I've been to.

 

Most churches that follow a litergical layout don't have an "invitation". It's by no means a sole indicator. OTOH, I went to a Catholic mass last Palm Sunday, and the priest invited the congregation to have a relationship with Jesus. He said it in the message, and at the end of the service before the blessing, I remember him saying "let Jesus be your friend". The words stuck with me. I don't know why, they did.

 

I've asked some that I know to be Catholic if their salvation was of Christ and Him alone, most said no. Except for the two I know personally, others have said salvation is tied to works, deeds, the church and so forth.

Salvation was spoken of, but not by the way of Scripture. Of course, I'm sure there are a lot of members of the church that are truly saved. I'm not refuting that.
