Our foundation is the ‘finished’ work of Jesus Christ...that we are justified by grace through faith because of Christ.....therefore the only righteousness that has the merit necessary to meet the requirements of the holiness of God is that righteousness that was achieved and performed by Jesus Christ and by Jesus Christ alone....we cannot earn any righteousness (perfection) on our own worthy of salvation....’only’ His righteousness alone is sufficient to save us.
If you present the salvation message read as,... “We are justified by grace alone through faith alone because of Christ alone,” ...the Roman Catholic will back away from it and he won't accept it.
We recognize that God is a God of distinctions.... justification by faith and faith ‘alone’ in Christ Alone’ is a central distinction between catholics and non-catholics.... Justification for catholics is a lifetime ‘works process’.....for Christian non-catholics justification is 'a finished work' Jesus Christ accomplished on the sinners behalf.
Furthermore...though catholics talk about Jesus, God, faith and grace it is not sufficient to unite with them...False doctrine always cries the loudest about unity...if you listen closely it's a cover for false doctrine encroaching.
So the problem is to say we need to fight together on these social issues gives ‘the appearance of compromising’ the basic doctrine of the gospel...of the Bible which is the gospel...which is the heart of all Christianity.....particularly since we all are fighting these anyway apart from unity of the faiths.
BTW there already is unity 'of true believers"...you can go anywhere in the world and can find a brother or sister in Christ regardless of what denomination he's in if he's really trusting Christ.
I believe the unity that is being presented today is a false unity and all need to be warned regarding it.
I know that from personal experience as you know where I am at the moment. 😇😂😀
