Titus 1:5, Acts 8:18, 1 Timothy 4:14, 2 Timothy 1:6, Hebrews 6:2
None of those is a sacrament and none conveys merit, nor grace.
At least you tried to post evidence this time. It doesnt say what you claimed, but I do sincerely give you credit for an attempt!
Way to go! Youll get there.
Gotta disagree with your interpretation, oops, sorry, your explanation of those verses. Nothing to do with sacerdotalism. That is my interpretation, oops, sorry, my explanation of those verses. But then again, what could I possibly know? I am just a poor, hapless ex catholic, who interprets, oops, sorry, explains scripture. I believe in scripture only and faith only, and I have assurance of salvation. 😁 Now, your interpretation, oops, sorry, your explanation, may be different from mine, but I am comfortable with that, even if you dont think I can be.
I have Bible studies, where I invite only Catholics. I try to get them to interpret scripture for themselves. Oops, I mean explain scripture for themselves. Its a beautiful thing, to see Catholics finally figure out the truth, and leave the one true church, the way I did.
OK, its time for me to enjoy my assurance of salvation. I know, I know, in your eyes, its the sin of presumption, but I am comfortable with that. Having assurance of salvation, is a beautiful thing. If you dont have any assurance of salvation, I feel sorry for you bro.
