I focus first on Scripture and then I like to read history. I really don't see why you want to denigrate everyone who doesn't agree with you with comments like "Jack Chick types". I learned after about a year on FR that RC's look at any criticism of their church as an attack on their faith, so I tend to ignore the over the top comments. As a Baptist we don't look at the church as our Faith so when we find error in it we are pretty quick to criticize it ourselves.
Thanks for the info though on Baptism. It's kind of interesting because different RC posters have said different things and they all seem to be pretty confident they know what their church teaches.
My church and it's teachings seem to be a little less complicated to present. We believe in the five Solas and do not believe the two ordinances that our Lord gave us impart Grace.
Would you agree or disagree that if a church taught that more was required of a Christian than believing the Gospel in order to be saved that church was preaching a different Gospel than what is found in Scripture?

Denying the simple words of the Gospel to claim that "more" is required than simple belief is a tautology.
