Sect? I am a member of the Baptist faith. 'Sect' sounds more like a
cult than anything else, depsite dictinary definition.

Well, our Church is not named a 'sect' either ... it is called the
BAPTIST CHURCH.

LOL! 'properly baptized'???? I most certainly WAS properly baptized,
by immersion, as our Lord Himself was also baptized, according to the
Bible.
I thought better of you than this, Joseph. how dare you assume I was
not 'properly' baptized.
and as for the roman religion,. it is NOT the Church founded by
Christ. I must again disagree with you on that.


>The unity of the Church subsists

I have nothing to DO with its doctrines, thank you.
And what we reject is properly rejected.
We do not NEED the fancy apparel, the phony piety and superfluous
show.
We don't need the expensive goblets, the monstrance, bell-ringers,
insence,etc.. We worship the Lord plainly, simply, and honestly.

Don't make me vomit!
Your religion gave me nothing.
My faith in the Lord comes from HIM, not a bunch of rc's!
And you can holler until the cows come home about the rcc being 'the
only church'..... but it is still false.

My Bible doesn't support the false teachings of the roman catholic

Don't presume to tell me whether I TRUST GOD or not.

I most certainly DO, and thanks to HIM, I've made it this far. With
His continued help, I will continue to survive.
How DARE you so arrogantly assume I don't have enough faith in Him.
You are now sounding just like the other romanists in here.

I don't need to tolerate this.
