Why are you trying to tell Catholics what to believe?
Yeah. Catholics believe in Baptism. It’s a mark, like a brand. It means you belong to God. If you don’t believe in Baptism, then you’re not Catholic. It’s pretty simple.
“Why are you trying to tell Catholics what to believe?”
If you post on an open discussion thread, it is reasonable to assume someone will respond to what you posted. I did so.
You will believe what you choose to believe. I am only pointing out that what you posted was false.
This is ALWAYS a useless thread.
One can EASILY understand the Protestant Reformation. Such enmity here. I hope excommunicated and defrocked Father Martin Luther is happy with the fruits of his labor. He even has a denomination named after him.
Protestants can boast of 40,000 different denominations. One wonders WHAT separates them. Doctrine, dogma, traditions? What? And, in the end, what does it matter to you or to me? If they are content with their faith, so be it.

Catholics HAVE to believe Roman Catholic DOGMA. The other things, Apostolic tradition, for one, may NOT be dogma.
So I say, let them be. They can vent their hearts out. Maybe they need it. It doesn't bother me a bit if I am attacked because of my faith. Jesus said that would happen.
We only have to look at how so many Christians, those FIRST Catholics (Catholic means UNIVERSAL), were treated by the Roman Empire.
MOST people are Christian enough in their ideology to let people be. Also, when I hear this I wonder just HOW secure they are with their own faith if they have to denigrate others. I speak to ALL sides.
God will judge us all anyway so what we say here about others' faiths doesn't amount to a hill of beans. :o):o)
God bless you and yours, Salvation!
Because as Christ Loves Us We Love You and therefore must attempt to show you the truth of the BIBLE.
Galatians 1:8 New International Version (NIV)
8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!
You post that condemnation to a poster shortly after you outright told a dedicated Lutheran Protestant to leave his belief system and accept one offered by the Catholic belief system?
That certainly reeks of hypocrisy.
Have you ever read the scripture about the speck and beam?
Catholics complain about other denomination posters trying to get them to believe in the Christianity that Jesus taught and yet your post prosthelytizes for Catholicism to someone who is a solid protestant and will stay so.
