Isn’t the Roman Catholic Church the one you can never really leave, like the “family?”
What would a baptized and confirmed Roman Catholic need to do in order to join the Orthodox Presbyterian Church?
Answer: Apostatize
Presbyterian churches recognize Catholic baptisms, whether as an adult or a child.
Well my goodness, that is truly a worldwide church.

ROTFL
What was wrong with the Baptist church, other than all the drinking?

1. Give up all belief in historic Christianity.
2. Assume Christ lied about protecting His Church.
3. Cut seven books out of your Old Testament.
4. Give up Jesus in the Eucharist. Yes, He gave you His body, but now you have to believe it’s just a cracker despite what Christ said.
5. Ignore the Early Church Fathers or pretend they never wrote what they wrote.
6. Extras: No longer will the great Christian patrimony of art, music, literature, history, philosophy, or architecture be yours. You’ll be like an atheist at a Church picnic. Everything will still taste good, but you will no longer see the point of it all. It will be like a foreign language to you.
What you must do:
1. Start being ignorant.
2. Post ignorantly on the internet about things which you do not understand - especially the Catholic faith.
3. Claim you know the Catholic faith because you went to a Catholic school for 6, 8 or 12 years.
4. Deliberately lie about the Catholic faith. As a Protestant this should come easily to you now because you’ll be able to rationalize that you’re lying for a good cause.
5. You can now use birth control, have abortions (shhhh! pretend your sect is sort of pro-life).
6. Feel free to divorce and remarry as often as you like. You’re a Protestant now so morals are almost completely subjective even if your pastor says otherwise. Example: “Abortion is wrong. . . except in cases of rape and incest.” Many Protestants believe that as if the actual act of murdering the baby somehow qualitatively changes because the baby’s father committed a morally evil act.
You would have to give up belonging to a scriptural church.
why would you do that????
catholics wrote the bible, but these johnny come lately’s are trying to tell you all about it..
catholics have been at the forefront of the bible for over 2 millenium...
rememeber, the king of england wanted to fornicate at will..
and that is where protestantism originated..
just sayin..
Which OPC are you affiliated with? We go to one in the Denver, CO area.
This is the dumbest post yet. Why not ask how you can become a homosexual without the stigma of having AIDS?
The Presbyterians are still a going concern?
“What does a Roman Catholic need to do to join the Orthodox Presbyterian Church?”
Lose one’s mind.
Embrace Satan and all his empty promises.
Wouldn't that mean that if someone was going to eventually end up in the OPC everything would be made clear to him in the fullness of time?
I am mystified when people claim that they are raised as Catholics and suddenly they discover Jesus and the bible and how much they love Jesus. While I rejoice with them for this revelation, I am perplexed by it.
I am Catholic and every time I enter a Catholic Church I have a sense of God’s presence there. It is the Holy Eucharist which causes me to have this feeling. And, as for Jesus, he is the center of my life and all my major life decisions revolved around pleasing Him.
That being said, for about 30 years, the RC Church was being led by many poorly trained priests, who were not infused with the necessity of deep, prayerful lives. Thankfully the problems caused by these less than holy men is now being corrected and the newer priests are way above and beyond those who were trained earlier. Even so, the RC church has had many good priests despite this lapse when liberalism infected the hierarchy of the church.

Repent?
Ya should-a tagged this "ecumenical". Make 'em play nice. Even down through only the first 10 or 12 posting, I'm seeing a heaping helping of the usual hooey.
Once again you post it and I have to bring the fire hose.
They merely need to jump through the hoops placed before them.
