I guarantee you that will never be my story.

My story went in the other direction. Once Catholic, now Protestant.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Mine too—funny how that works.

Got kind of boring.

I don’t think conversion is the right term.

He uses it twice. He “converted” from Baptist to Presbyterian. And converted to Catholic.

He was Christian the whole time so I see no conversion, but rather a switch.

J.I. Packer recently wrote in Christianity Today (May 1989) that the contrast between the "zany wildness" of Protestantism and the "at-homeness" of Catholicism

Recently wrote? In 1989? 26 years ago. Little more than this "zany" Protestant can take.

Story Of A Three Year Journey:of An Anti-Catholic Who Converted To Catholicism

Why did you change the name of the article?

[Alex Murphy]

And why the misleading publication date? According to the link you gave, this article was published back in 1990, not today.

“the zany wildness of Protestantism versus the at-homeness of catholicism”
Isn’t this verbatim from the Book of Brian?
(Yeah, Catholicism is like down-home cooking ...)

Today the inflammatory rhetoric is largely gone

HA. Author has apparently never visited FR.

Great post.

[Steelfish]

Agree

[Salvation]

If you are a baptized Catholic -— then you will always be a baptized Catholic. The make of Baptism does not leave your soul.

You can return at any time.

Why would Mr. Tucker have his conversion to Roman Catholicism story on a Reformed website (http://www.reformed.org/)?

[doc1019]

I was baptized as a baby, according to Catholic doctrines, I had no choice. As an adult I had a choice and opted for that choice when I accepted Christ as my personal savior and was baptized (as an adult) in a Protestant denomination.

As for returning to the Catholic church ... ain’t gon’a happen. I have spent the last 40 plus years as a Protestant and am perfectly happy in my decision.

I’m going to Heaven as a born again Christian who loves Jesus ... that’s all that needs to be said about me or my story.

This is a great article. Thanks for posting.

[Steelfish]

I have no clue.

I’m sticking with non-denominationalism. Who needs popes, priests, pastors, preachers, etc. telling them what to believe when they can get God’s word direct and unadulterated from the Bible?
