Baptists
309. The Baptist Church is the true Church. It really acts as did the first Christians, while the Catholic Church is not mentioned in Scripture as the true Church.
The Baptist Church is certainly not mentioned in Scripture. The Catholic Church is most clearly described there. Meantime, do Baptists act as did the first Christians? Do they go to Confession? Have they the sacrifice of the Mass? Baptists, like other Protestants, insist upon one thing not commanded by Christ, and neglect most of the things insisted upon by Him. Also, Christ said that His Church would be in the world all days from His time until the end of the world. But where was the Baptist Church before the 15th century? Christ certainly was not the Founder of the Baptist Church. It is subject to all the defects common to other forms of Protestantism. Encoding copyright 2009 by Frederick Manligas Nacino.

Rev. Dr. Leslie Rumble, M.S.C.
"I was brought up as a Protestant, probably with more inherited prejudices than most non-Catholics of these days. My parents were Anglican and taught me the Angelican faith. My 'broad-minded' protestant teachers taught me to dislike the Catholic Church intensely. I later tried Protestantism in various other forms, and it is some thirty years since, in God's providence, I became a Catholic. As for the 'open, free, sincere worship' of a Protestant Church, I tasted it, but for me it proved in the end to be not only open, but empty; it was altogether too free from God's prescriptions."
Eventually, Leslie became a priest of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart.
In 1928, Fr. Rumble began a one-hour 'Question Box' program on 2SM Sydney, N.S.W. radio on Sunday evenings that was heard all over Australia and New Zealand. For five years he answered questions on every subject imaginable that had been written to him from all over that part of the globe. His first show began with a classic introduction:
"Good evening, listeners all. For some time I have been promising to give a session dealing with questions of religion and morality, in which the listeners themselves should decide what is of interest to them. Such a session will commence next Sunday evening, and I invite you to send in any questions you wish on these subjects . . . So now I invite you, non-Catholics above all, to send in any questions you wish on religion, or morality, or the Catholic Church, and I shall explain exactly the Catholic position, and give the reasons for it. In fact I almost demand those questions. Many hard things have been said, and are still being said, about the Catholic Church, though no criminal, has been so abused, that she has a right to be heard. I do not ask that you give your name and address. A nom de plume will do. Call yourself Voltaire, Confucius, X.Y.Z., what you like, so long as you give indication enough to recognize your answer."
"By the summer of 1937, the first edition of Radio Replies was already in print in Australia, financed by Rt. Rev. Monsignor James Meany, P.P. - the director of Station 2SM of whom I am greatly indebted."
"I have often been mistaken, as most men at times. And it is precisely to make sure that I will not be mistaken in the supremely important matter of religion that I cling to a Church which cannot be mistaken, but must be right where I might be wrong. God knew that so many sincere men would make mistakes that He deliberately established an infallible Church to preserve them from error where it was most important that they should not go wrong."
Rev. Charles Mortimer Carty
I broadcast my radio program, the Catholic Radio Hour, from St. Paul, Minnesota.
I was also carrying on as a Catholic Campaigner for Christ, the Apostolate to the man in the street through the medium of my trailer and loud-speaking system. In the distribution of pamphlets and books on the Catholic Faith, Radio Replies proved the most talked of book carried in my trailer display of Catholic literature. As many of us street preachers have learned, it is not so much what you say over the microphone in answer to questions from open air listeners, but what you get into their hands to read. The questions Fr. Rumble had to answer on the other side of the planet are same the questions I had to answer before friendly and hostile audiences throughout my summer campaign."
I realized that this priest in Australia was doing exactly the same work I was doing here in St. Paul. Because of the success of his book, plus the delay in getting copies from Sydney and the prohibitive cost of the book on this side of the universe, I got in contact with him to publish a cheap American edition.
It doesn't take long for the imagination to start thinking about how much we could actually do. We began the Radio Replies Press Society Publishing Company, finished the American edition of what was to be the first volume of Radio Replies, recieved the necessary imprimatur, and Msgr. Fulton J. Sheen agreed to write a preface. About a year after the publication of the first edition in Australia, we had the American edition out and in people's hands.
The book turned into a phenomena. Letters began pouring into my office from every corner of the United States; Protestant Publishing Houses are requesting copies for distribution to Protestant Seminaries; a few Catholic Seminaries have adopted it as an official textbook - and I had still never met Dr. Rumble in person.
To keep a long story short, we finally got a chance to meet, published volumes two and three of Radio Replies, printed a set of ten booklets on subjects people most often asked about, and a few other pamphlets on subjects of interest to us.
Fr. Carty died on May 22, 1964 in Connecticut.
"Firstly, since God is the Author of all truth, nothing that is definitely true can every really contradict anything else that is definitely true. Secondly, the Catholic Church is definitely true. It therefore follows that no objection or difficulty, whether drawn from history, Scripture, science, or philosophy, can provide a valid argument against the truth of the Catholic religion."

So Jesus founded a church, His Body, that allowed people to become a member of His Body even if they didn’t believe in Him...As long as they got sprinkled with water that you guys call baptism...
Is this how you guys are going to join with Izlam, just get them muzlims sprinkled with some ‘holy’ water, no need for Jesus???
A Catholic can become a Christian without Jesus...What a whacko religion...

I just noticed this thread and thought to myself, “why are they bashing us baptist”? I don’t agree with catholics on many issues but right now we are living in a serious time and all christians need to pull together rather than tear each other apart.

A Catholic can become a Christian . . .No Catholic needs to become a Christian because all Catholics ARE Christian.

The Baptist Church is certainly not mentioned in Scripture. The Catholic Church is most clearly described there.
Where????? Hogwash. You do not have anything resembling the Catholic church in Scripture. You don't have the forbidding of priests to marry, nor the veneration of Mary, nor the mass, nor infant baptism, nor the primacy of Rome at all. You have disciples, some single, some married - as Peter was, sharing with independent churches throughout Israel, Asia Minor, and eventually at Rome, being developed by Apostles and other disciples. You have baptism by immersion of believer's only- something distinctly Baptist. You have observance of the Lord's supper - not as another sacrifice for sins, but in rememberance of what the Lord did once for all. You have no evidence of formal confession to a priest, rather Scripture says confess your sins one to another and pray for one another. Sorry, on the Scriptural argument Catholicism loses.

To: Iscool
Its unfortunate to see Christian Groups competing with one another. There is far too much dogma and the differences simply pull Christians apart from one another.If you follow the teachings of Jesus and follow the commandments,loving God and your neighbor as yourself,you are a Christian in every sense of the word. I think Jesus would be very saddened to see so many of these denominations trying to prove that their particular dogma is greater than anothers. The essence of Christianity is Love and adherence to the teachings of our Lord.Its time to put differences behind us and emphasize the areas upon which we all agree.
To: Petronski
No Catholic needs to become a Christian because all Catholics ARE Christian.Even the Catholics that don't believe in Jesus???

Mk:16:16: "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall he condemned." You keep replaying this verse to prove you only need baptism (not belief in Jesus) to become a Christian...Care to expound on that a little bit???

I am Catholic and I agree with you. These doctrinal disputes only dividing us at a time when Christian unity is necessary to combat the evils of abortion and so many other problems that have infected the modern world.
To: WilliamPatrick
If you follow the teachings of Jesus and follow the commandments,loving God and your neighbor as yourself,you are a Christian in every sense of the word.You certainly can't love Jesus if you don't believe in Him...But you say, love God, like the muzlims do, eh??? Love God, love your neighbor but forget about Jesus???
Follow the teachings of Jesus but don't believe He is God come in the flesh???
How does that work with you guys???

"You don't have the forbidding of priests to marry" No you don't. But you do have the authority given to the Church to make it and other things a requirement.

I saw nothing resembling the Catholic Church there... where did it tell us to pray to Mary? or that any of these Saints can answer a prayer... I thought we only reached God through Jesus, I did see that in there by the way, not through outsourcing.

As a Catholic I have never heard of such a thing. Yes you must believe in Jesus and Catholics do.
To: GonzoII
Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.You refuse to comment further on the verse but I think I get what you are trying to imply...
Apparently you figure the belief spoken of in the verse is belief in the baptism, NOT the Gospel...
Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
That must be how you are trying to pull off this scam...
