50 Days of Easter 2008 Celebration ping, dedicated to converts to the Catholic faith. If you want to be on the list but are not on it already, or if you are on it but do not want to be, let me know either publicly or privately.

Happy Easter. Christ is risen!

Alex.

I will post his own cconversion story shortly.

It's too bad Catholicism doesn't agree with the Bible. Thanks but no thanks. I'll remain a Bible based Christian. I prefer to follow Christ and not man made “wisdom” which is the dominant theme of Catholicism.

bookmarking!

“Some are blessed enough to receive this great gift while they are still infants, and over the course of time they grow into a recognition of the enormous grace that has been bestowed upon them, of the dignity and wonder of their identity as Catholics.”

That second sentence - I can’t get past it. As if being claimed as an RC while an infant is the same as being claimed by Christ. This sums up what may be the major deception of the RCC.

Unless the child can express that they except Jesus as Lord and Savior they can not be baptized and it be excepted by Jesus as done. Also it has to be full immersion
