One true church is not a denomination. It is the born again believers around the globe. We make up the one true church.

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.

The Bible does not say baptism was not necessary before Jesus died. John the Baptist was baptizing people before Jesus died.

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...

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...

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...

The repentant thief on the cross was not baptized, but Jesus said that he would be in paradise with him that day.

Those teachings of the Catholic Church are not teachings of the apostles. I hold to the Bible, but reject the extra-Biblical teachings of the RCC.

The Catholic Church is not Christ's church. It never was and never will be. I believe that Christ is the author of the Bible, but he used human vessels to pen it.

To become a Christian, one must believe in Jesus Christ. They must accept Jesus Christ into their life to be their Lord and Savior. They must repent of their sins and follow Jesus Christ and the teachings in the New Testament. True Christians are doers of the Word and not hearers only. True...

By the way, no offense was intended in anything I said. It is nice to meet you. I just do not believe that the RCC is "the church." I see a lot of issues with Protestants too. They held onto too many things in the RCC. They should have returned to the New Testament to see how the early...

In order to win anyone, you first have to prove that the Catholic Church is indeed a continuation of the Church founded in Acts. We know that is not the case. It was founded more than 200 years later, and when it was formed, it went away from the order the early church established. You can...

Everyone will fall short of the glory of God in some way, so we all need God's grace. At the same time, we do not all sin on purpose everyday. I have not sinned on purpose at all today. Sins done without knowing or meaning to are under the blood. If I were to sin on purpose tonight, like...

The poll does not give enough choices. Jesus' sacrifice on the cross is sufficient to pay for all the sins anyone could ever commit period, but God chooses not to cover all sins automatically. Those who reject Christ are not forgiven. Those who commit willful sins after salvation are not...

I addressed baptism. It is to be done by emersion only after someone accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Baptism does not save, but it is an outward sign of what took place when a person was born again. We are to be baptized in obedience to the Lord.

There is no way to prove that the Catholic Church is in the truth. You are taking what they say by faith, and I have no faith in the Catholic Church. I do not believe they are following the traditions of the Apostles. They created a church that would appeal to Christians and Pagans. They did...

1. Ask Jesus Christ to come into your life and be your Lord and Savior. 2. Ask God to forgive you of all of your past sins, and promise to turn from that lifestyle and commit to being a disciple of Jesus. God is the one that grants you a new birth. He knows if you are serious when you pray...

I was going to add more of your quotes, but I see no reason to. The bottom line is, Christ DID NOT found the Catholic Church. Peter was not the first Pope. There is nothing close to the Catholic church in the New Testament. There were no Popes. There were no Nuns. Priests were in the Old...

I took you wrong, and thought you were speaking of outward appearance as a whole. It was just a misunderstanding, and since this thread is about tattoos, it is best not to go off on rabbit trails.

I did too, but when you brought up the issue of whether or not God is concerned with what we hang on the outside of the tent, that covers a lot of things besides tattoos.
