No ... it's what they say to those they try to convert.

I know ... I've allowed them in my house

[Biggirl]

You are forgiven.:)

[knarf]

But they're not. (according to their theology)

/8^)

[knarf]

Catholics are the only ones going to Heaven ?

[Biggirl]

Any believer in Jesus is. :)

[smvoice]

Whosoever wishes to be saved must above all [believe, accept,follow? I cannot remember the exact word here] the catholic faith? No, you don’t gotta wonder. I’m certain you already know.

[knarf]

Not according to Legatus and his Athanasian Creed

[Biggirl]

The only creed that is used greatly at Sunday worship is the Nicene. The Apostles from time to time in children’s masses, but not often other then for that. Heard about the creed that Legatus has in his personal URL, but it is a rare bird of the three.

[Salvation]

The Nicene Creed has changed with the New Translation.

New Missal Translation - Nicene Creed

I believe in one God, the Father almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,

the Only Begotten Son of God,

born of the Father before all ages.

God from God, Light from Light,

true God from true God,

begotten, not made, consubstantial

with the Father;

Through him all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation

he came down from heaven,

and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate

of the Virgin Mary,

and became man.

For our sake he was crucified

under Pontius Pilate,

he suffered death and was buried,

and rose again on the third day

in accordance with the Scriptures.

He ascended into heaven

and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory

to judge the living and the dead

and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the Lord, the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son

is adored and glorified,

who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic,

and apostolic Church.

I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins

and I look forward to the resurrection

of the dead and the life of the world to come.

Amen.

...So you’re saying that the Anthanasian Creed is not taught or believed in the Catholic Church?

[Biggirl]

Thank-you Salvation. God Bless.

[Legatus]

The word you were looking for is “keep”.

[don-o]

Thank you for this link!!

I'm glad for that. The emergence of the creeds reflect on how Christians dealt with matters in reality. Davis Mills enlarges on that very well with very good allegories. She might want to use a couple of those as well.

[smvoice]

“And also in the rite of exorcism”??? You have a creed for exorcism??

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.

“...Jesus will come in the future to judge the living and the dead...”

Absolutely completely taken directly from the bible:

Hebrews 9:28

... The second time He shall appear without sin to them that expect him unto salvation.

[Legatus]

Yes, demons seem to go berserk whenever they hear the creeds. That doesn’t explain you guys though.
