Yes, but who defines that one faith, the church or dartuser? If there is one faith, can I preach that one faith on a regular basis from a Catholic perspective from the pulpit in your church? If not, by what authority do you or your pastor have to exclude me?
Great point! Bravo!
Neither ... God has defined it ... in the scriptures. The scriptures are sufficient for salvation, you do not seem to believe that.
If they are sufficient, I will not look anywhere else to understand what God requires of me.
If, however, I believe the scriptures are NOT sufficient, then I will look somewhere else for that additional truth required for salvation and I will wonder why God bothered to communicate to us through written language if we couldn't read and understand what He was trying to communicate.
Where are the entrance requirements for the kingdom stated? How about Mark 1:14-15, Acts 17:30-31, etc.
14 Now after John had been taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, 15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”
30 Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent, 31 because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead.”
Seems simple enough ...
can I preach that one faith on a regular basis from a Catholic perspective from the pulpit in your church?
Are you an elder? Have you been vetted through the elder qualifications listed in 1 Tim, 2 Tim, Titus, 1 Pet? And are you in agreement with our doctrinal statement? I suspect that at least some of these would disqualify you (mostly the doctrinal statement).
If not, by what authority do you or your pastor have to exclude me?
The authority of scripture, whereby you do not meet the qualifications listed to be an elder ... and further, you could not in good conscience (as a Catholic) sign our doctrinal statement that declares the scriptures are the sole rule for faith and practice.
Don't take it personally, I doubt your priest would allow me to preach in your church either lol ...
