Your friend clearly states, as quoted from the transcript, that only the Catholic church has the means to salvation.
No, I was never baptized the way you're talking about. In the church of my upbringing, we were baptized in the spirit, and spoke in tongues.
"I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than 1, whose shoes 1 am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and [with] fire."edit on 26-4-2013 by windword because: (no reason given)
Give me the quote?
This is from the YouTube transcript that is available from a tab under the video, starting at 45 seconds in the vid.
0:46 Satan hates the catholic church always has
0:49 his sole mission is its destruction again
0:53 heats (?)
0:55 because no other institution organization or faith or religion
0:59 has the means of salvation
The fact is everything anyone knows of Christ came from the Catholic Church less the Old Testament prophecies, she is the faith. Everyone is saved directly or indirectly through the faith, Roman Catholicism.
Makes sense.
That's what the church says. But I'm NOT buying it.
Thanks for your reply windword...was it water baptism in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit? I wonder
because Baptism is the beginning, it is not an optional.
Not according to John the Baptist. Not all Christian churches baptize with water.
It is the first time one receives God's presence in their
soul.
I don't believe that for one second!

Wow, you're in the hole pretty deep it seems. I don't think you'll be able to climb your way out.
Guess what else fits your description of baptism... childbirth.
It's not optional, it's the "beginning", you receive the spirit for the "first" time, and you are born from your mothers amniotic fluid (water). Being baptized with water and spirit is actually you being born through reincarnation.

That's what Jesus meant by saying "born again". He didn't mean it in roundabout, beat around the bush type of way, he meant it literally. To be baptized is to be born again, literally.
Why would they try to hide that fact? Because it means people don't only have one chance, but infinite chances. You can't scare people with death threats if they know they won't truly die. Controlling people is a lot easier once you convince them they only have one shot.

Too bad Jesus raised all those people from the dead. Same with Paul, Peter, and anyone else who raised someone from the dead in the bible.
Are those people still alive since they've already died before? Or did they die again?

Colbe, I think most of us that respond/contribute to FRT dialog are not looking for salvation, we are aware we are ETERNAL BEINGS; thanks for the cheerleading and good intentions. Have you spotted any atheists yet?

So men don't only die once? There are exceptions to the rules? You say they died twice but still believe man only dies once? What's the deal here?

I appreciate this reply from you vhb,
I worry, we are closer to prophesied divine events. Most people think of the secular only. I know I repeat a lot but I care. People should read the messages from Heaven, they strengthen your faith and give us all hope. The news is instant and everyone notices life is getting darker, we are near or at the start of the Great Tribulation.
Bookmark at least one daily prophecy link: www.catholicbinder.com... or a non-Catholic prophetic site
ft111.com... God bless you vethumanbeing,

Apparently he's made lots and lots of exceptions. Take the Hebrews for example, they went city to city killing everyone who refused to join them. Didn't god tell them not to kill before all that happened? I guess the Hebrews were the exception to that commandment on many occasions. Pretty convenient for the Hebrews if you ask me.

So it was to teach and prepare the way for Christ? How is killing people teaching them anything or preparing them for anything? If they were sinners and unbelievers, then why did god cut them short of repentance? Wouldn't letting them live have given them a better chance at redemption than cutting that chance off by killing them?
What need was there to kill them if they weren't going to make it to heaven anyways? Did killing them prevent them from reaching heaven? As in if they weren't killed, would they have reached heaven?

How does he plan on saving people if he orders them to be killed before they can repent? You didn't answer the meat of my question. If god truly wanted those people to be saved, he would have given them the chance to repent, but instead he ordered their murders. Why is that?
I don't deny god, I know there is one, I just don't think he is contained within a book, any book for that matter.edit on 28-4-2013 by 3NL1GHT3N3D1 because: (no reason given)
