What I find pretty ironic is that NOBODY here, other than the elitist FRoman Catholics, is recruiting people to join "their" church.

nobody else has the authoriity to do so. The Catholic church is the true church of Christ and thus, anyone recruiting people to another church would be leading them astray. There can only be one Holy, Catholic and Apostolic church on Earth and the Catholic church is that one. Wheen we recruit peopple to the Catholic church, we are recruiting them TO Christ, not some man made vaariation of what the true church is...

Knowing how sneaky some Roman Catholics are about definitions of words, why don't you explain what you mean by "The Catholic church". If, as I expect - though you may shy away from admitting it openly - you are talking about the Roman Catholic church, then you couldn't be MORE wrong. The gospel of the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ is what wins souls TO Christ. Insisting people have to join your church first is one of many accursed man made variation gospels that are out in the world. Salvation comes by the grace of God through faith IN Christ - it is how we are saved, justified, made righteous and sanctified. When this happens, we are automatically made members in the universal church of Christ, His body and bride.

Which has nothing to do with anything.

bb is correct.

Nobody is pushing denominationalism except the RC's.

The rest of us are encouraging people to come to know CHRIST, not a system of religious works.
