***He founded the one true church, consisting of His sheep. We gather in local churches and call them we may.

AMEN.***

Splitters and quitters don’t get to make the rules, however much the men who founded them would like to do so. The only difference that I can see between the founders of your cult and Joseph Smith is that JS had a much greater imagination.

All men have to go on is the word of God and the power of God, given by the gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit.

That gift denies the many and minifold errors of Rome whose fruit is available for all to see.

Rome encourages its members to...

1) "fall down to the stock of a tree"

2) view its priestcraft as "another Christ"

3) believe Mary is a "co-Redeemer" and a "dispensatrix of all grace"

4) "worship the Eucharist"

5) embrace the "vain janglings" of the concocted fictions of purgatory and limbo and baptismal regeneration

6) consider decaying relics as talismen of holiness

7) pray to dead people

8) acknowledge other mediators between God and man other than the one mediator, Christ Jesus

9) consider the pope as "infallible" in matters of religion when no man is infallible but Christ...

The list of errors seems endless.

Meanwhile, we Bible-believing Christians are content to receive the word of God and the power of God, as we have for 2,000 years...

"Be not afraid; only believe." -- Mark 5:36
