Be careful that you not cause one too loose faith who is where GOD called them to be. If the Holy Spirit lead you to be Baptist, Charismatic, Catholic, whatever then it is wise to obey. If The Holy Spirit calls one to leave one church and go elsewhere it is also wise to obey. What is not wise is to destroy even what little faith someone else may have and cause them to fall.
The Protestant vs Catholic family feud is a waste of time. It gets even more ridiculous when even same denominations try and persuade a member of their own denomination to leave the church they are at and come to theirs as it is somehow better.
Luke ch9 49John said to Jesus, “Master, we saw someone using your name to cast out demons. We tried to stop him because he isn’t in our group.” 50But Jesus said, “Don’t stop him! Anyone who is not against you is for you.”
Mark Ch 9 38John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw a man using your name to cast out demons, but we told him to stop because he isn’t one of our group.” 39“Don’t stop him!” Jesus said. “No one who performs miracles in my name will soon be able to speak evil of me. 40Anyone who is not against us is for us. 41If anyone gives you even a cup of water because you belong to the Messiah, I assure you, that person will be rewarded.
Thanks, snipe, but I just speak of Jesus and let them make up their own mind. And the Holy Spirit will be the one to instruct them after they are born again. He leads them where he wants them, not me. I don’t “persuade” anyone to do anything. I tell them of Christ and they choose Him or not.
It will all be worth the effort if just one person is saved because of these discussions. The Catholic members who post here are entrenched in their religion and cannot see beyond it, but one never knows when the Spirit is working and convicting. We are called to preach Jesus and that is exactly what I do...the rest is up to Him.
