now, everyone must believe “baptism” is a major tenent of Christianity. Jesus commanded the Church to teach and baptize in Matthew 28. Peter commanded baptism for the remission of sins and receiving the Holy Spirit in Acts 2:38. Paul was commanded to be baptized and wash away his sins in Acts 22:16. major tenent.

The Church has taught baptismal regeneration since Peter preached on Pentecost. The Church Fathers all teach in baptism we are born again.

So, for the Catholic, baptism is the get out of jail free card. Once one is *born again* through baptism, then he can live as he pleases, lying, killing, stealing, raping, murdering, whatever, because he's been baptized and it's baptism which saves and gives people the Holy Spirit.

how many times must i remind you of your story line:

former catholic, reads the bible, becomes saved, ........

to keep in “character”, you should pretend to know the Church has not believed for 2,000 years in “once saved, always saved”

your other buddies will get mad at you as well, you forget the story line is Catholics believe we are saved by works.

keep practicing, you will get better.

here’s a suggestion, send me a private email first and i will let you know what off the wall statements it contains, that someone who supposedly was catholic would not say.
i am always here to stop you from continuing to make a fool of yourself.

thank me!

That would go a long way towards explaining the Catholic church and its cozy relationship with the Kennedys, the Kerrys, the Pelosis, etc.
