how did you come to have such little influence in your home that your wife and your children are Catholics?

I didn't say I or my family were practicing Catholics.

My wife was raised a Catholic, but she came to like my church and eventually considered herself a practicing Baptist (I think).

She preferred Calvary Baptist over her former Catholic church, which was Queen of the Universe, and St. Michael's.

I only said I took my kids to Catholic Church occasionally just to passify my wife's parents, who naturally were still devout Catholics back then.

I now attend a church, Christian Life Center, in Bensalem, Pa., which I think considers itself with the Assemblies of God.

I know nothing about the Assemblies of God.

All I know is that for two years, our preacher (several of them) preached straight out of the Bible: redemption, salvation, the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.... which is the only path to eternal life in Heaven.

No good works will get you there. No special prayers.

No matter how many times you attend Church, no matter how much you donate to whomever.

Sorry, was getting carried away there

POST 874 "I am a devout Baptist myself, and I remain totally embarassed at many on FR who continue to ridicule and deride the traditions and doctine of the Mormon church."

POST 1060 "I now attend a church, Christian Life Center, in Bensalem, Pa., which I think considers itself with the Assemblies of God."
"All I know is that for two years, our preacher (several of them) preached straight out of the Bible: redemption, salvation, the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.... which is the only path to eternal life in Heaven."

I am confused.

POST 931 " I love and respect Catholics as Brothers in Christ... and even married a devout Catholic woman and take my kids to Mass frequently."

POST 1060 "I didn't say I or my family were practicing Catholics. My wife was raised a Catholic, but she came to like my church and eventually considered herself a practicing Baptist (I think).

OK I'm not sure about all of those contradictions and differing stories, but if you are Assemblies of God now then this is what they say about the Mormon church.

"A law unto itself In the final analysis, Mormonism is an original, invented religion, born of the mind of Joseph Smith, who is responsible for the spiritual seduction of millions of people. To the world, Mormonism sells itself as the friendly Christian church down the street, but in reality it is no closer to biblical Christianity than Hinduism or Islam. The goals of Mormonism, however, remain unchanged. It desires to turn Protestants and Catholics, Evangelicals and Pentecostals, into Mormons. It seeks to introduce them to what the Bible calls another gospel, another spirit, and another Jesus (2 Corinthians 11:4).
