The individual must be mindful of the Holy Trinity, that central dogma that makes Christians "Christians."
This kind of teaching is what will send people to an eternity in Hell...
Belief in the Holy Trinity will not save anyone...Being mindful of the Trinity DOES NOT make Christians, Christians...
Jesus giving His life as the last Sacrifice and accepting that sacrifice for your sin is what makes a Christian, Christian...
You can make the sign of the cross a million times a day...It surely won't save you...
Disbelief in the Trinity will surely lead to hell.
Creation of one’s own church will surely lead to hell.
Privately interpreting Scripture will surely lead to hell.
This is a public service message.
If you don’t understand Christianity, you’re unlikely to be able to be a Christian, Iscool.
The Trinity is part of Christianity.
Jesus giving His life as the last Sacrifice and accepting that sacrifice for your sin is what makes a Christian, Christian...
You can make the sign of the cross a million times a day...It surely won't save you...
You are right in principle. The act of making the sign of the cross can in no way save anyone from the mere act of making it. However, the idea is that when Catholics make the sign of the cross it is supposed to be a reminder to them that they need to accept Christ and submit to the sacrifice which the sign of the cross represents. By making this sign often it is hoped that an individual will remind himself how much he must rely upon the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and thus make the internal changes in their life which the Lord requires of them for their own salvation. You are right, belief alone will save no one. The Epistle of James says, Faith without works is dead being alone. there just saying that we accept Jesus Christ does not mean that we are saved. In order to work out our own salvation we must not only believe but go beyond mere belief. Once we have faith in Jesus Christ we must strive for the rest of our lives to live in harmony with Him.
I thought there were crosses in Protestant churches.
No, the sign of the cross won’t save you....the faith that causes one to cross himself in honor of the Lord is what saves him.
Belief in the Holy Trinity is indeed belief in G_d in three distinct persons. Jesus himself breathed on them (the apostles) and began the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives.
And denying the Cross will? I think not.
