I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Here is a verse that might enlighten you..

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 1:8-9

baptimal regeneration!

How?



She is clothed with the sun .....God occasionally gives us some covering.
That started in the garden when we hid from God and covered our shame with fig leaves. God gave us animal skins
The woman described in Rev. 12 doesn't have a body that shames her. Her body is clothed in sunlight. This recalls the Transfiguration. Her body is glorified. No longer covering her body in shame but revealing it's glory. She is standing on the moon. The moon is a symbol things that change. She is no longer subject to change. Her body is incorruptible and in eternal glory.
I will give you a teency hint who the sun and moon is....Jacob and Rachael.

how visible do you want?

Matthew 5:14
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
This visible...

7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen....

11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.

@Truther posted
Faith is from scriptures
You responded and I thought you posted that.
Sorry for the confusion
Romans 10 defers to faith in the Acts 2:38 effect on their lives.

Not, easy believe-ism or mind over matter.

Is Mary the golden calf?

When the Hebrews, by God's grace, were freed from Egypt (after the shedding of blood at Passover), they journeyed for a while, following the prophet Moses. Then, after he disappeared for a while...

Exodus 32:1-8, "When the people saw that Moses [a type of Christ] delayed in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron [the priest] and said to him, “Get up, make us gods that will go before us. As for this fellow Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him!”

So Aaron said to them, “Break off the gold earrings that are on the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me.” So all the people broke off the gold earrings that were on their ears and brought them to Aaron. He accepted the gold from them, fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made a molten calf. Then they said, “These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.”

When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it, and Aaron made a proclamation and said, “Tomorrow will be a feast to the Lord.” So they got up early on the next day and offered up burnt offerings and brought peace offerings, and the people sat down to eat and drink, and they rose up to play.

The Lord spoke to Moses, “Go quickly, descend, because your people, whom you brought up from the land of Egypt, have acted corruptly. They have quickly turned aside from the way that I commanded them—they have made for themselves a molten calf and have bowed down to it and sacrificed to it and said, ‘These are your gods, O Israel, which brought you up from the land of Egypt.’”

So Aaron, the priest took over and decided that they should build a false idol, put it up on a pedestal, and worship it. Even though Christ was with them on their journey, they turned away from Him and created an abhorrent false image to worship. And then they sat down to eat and drink, as proclaimed by the priest.

I realize that this revelation will be offensive to the Catholics but IMHO they have abandoned the truth of the New Covenant and set up a false idol whom they worship above the truth in Christ, led by their priests.

Catholics need not respond! I am not interested in any more of their false beliefs.

I was speaking of the kingdom and his authorized ministers

what did Nathaniel or andrew teach?

and their successors

matt 28:19 requires successors
The successor to Matt 28:19 was Peter in Acts 2:38.

He knew what the name of the son is.

The RCC does not.

Romans 10 didn't describe scripture as the source of faith. It did describe faith coming from sound, voice, a mouth but not from scripture.
You can't reduce the source of faith to written tradition. Actual Christians are needed for the operation of divine powers. You erroneously believe divine power is found in scripture.

Those that are allowed to read and apply Romans 10 have formerly passed through Acts 2:38.

Nobody otherwise can apply those books(Epistles) to their lives.

so the promise of Christ is false?
Matt 16:18-19
Shall not prevail
And the promise of the Spirit leading the apostles to teach all nations without error? Matt 28:19 Jn 20:21 Jn 16:13

Can you be saved without a priest?

so the five solas are the true new covenant?

There is an invisible kingdom now and a visible one to come.

no the kingdom came with Christ!

Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Matt 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Matthew 12:28
But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
