Unlike the gracious loving Roam Catholic church who brought us the Inquisition.
And who's popes have said, "http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/b8-unam.html"
Pope Boniface VIII says....*Therefore whoever resists this power thus ordained by God, resists the ordinance of God [Rom 13:2], unless he invent like Manicheus two beginnings, which is false and judged by us heretical, since according to the testimony of Moses, it is not in the beginnings but in the beginning that God created heaven and earth [Gen 1:1]. Furthermore, we declare, we proclaim, we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff.*
And Catholics who say that whoever is baptized, no matter when or where or by whom is by default a Catholic?
Or Catholics who say once a Catholic always a Catholic?
Catholics and Catholicism are in no position to be pointing fingers and condemning others of trying to control them.
Talk about control. Be subject to the Roman pontiff or burn for eternity?!?!?!
And remember — Jesus Christ IS God. To deny Jesus is God automatically means that one is not a Christian. Catholics, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Orthodox etc agree that if you do not believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and God, you are not Christian
Exactly.
No Calvinist believes their particular perspective on faith is a requirement for salvation.
The only requirement for salvation is God's grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone.
"Be not afraid; only believe." -- Mark 5:36
Unlike Rome, who says that unless a person is a member of the Roman Catholic church either now or after their death (go figure) that person will roast in hell.
LOL LOL
We actually believe God is in control .. Sovereign over all His creation.. and most definitely HIS CHURCH ....not some guy in robes that have men fall on their face in front of HIM cause he sits on the throne ( sounds a bit like revelation doesn't it :)
It is Gods world, Gods church and we are the sheep of HIS pasture
