What caucus?? I responded to your post 1700 by pointing out that in soteriology a Calvinist like wmfights (Baptist), Dr, E (Presbyterian) and you (am I right that you are Calvinist? Apologies if I am wrong) have little to nothing in common at a fundamental Christian soteriological level with a Pent-e-costal like Quix.

You do not have the same idea of Justification, of Redemption or Salvation.

You do share the same concept as you do with the Apostolic Church in the tenets of the Nicene or Athanasian Creed (Which encapsulates Christian beliefs), but that is a generic commonality for all Christians and what differentiates us from JWs, Mormons, Muslims, etc.

Beyond that, for some group following Calvin's tradition, there is little to no commonality at a basic, fundamental Christian level with a group that follows the Wesleyan Tradition (the pent-e-costals arose from Methodism), other than a statement that you do not come to The Church.

Furthermore, you would have NOTHING in common with those who deny the basic tenets encapsulated in the Creed. You have nothing in common with those who deny the divinity of Christ or who consider that Christ had only ONE nature or who consider that Christ was mortal but the spirit "took ahold of him" and then left him on the cross. With those groups and those posters, what commonality can you have?

You have far more commonality with the Apostolic Church than with those posters.

It's the RCC that stands on the wrong side of the Cross. All these churches you keep referencing don't add to The Gospel.

You can keep saying that all day long, but you'll still be wrong.

After reading what Rome actually teaches and what RCs really believe most Protestants become more convinced than ever that it is Rome who preaches another Gospel because Rome takes the glory that belongs to God alone and subdivides it back onto various creatures and the works of men.

I don't know who taught you this error, but you have multiple Protestants telling you that you are wrong. Protestants agree on the basics. And the basics are what matter.

Wrong. So very wrong. Protestants believe men are justified by the righteousness of Christ being imputed to them by the grace of God for His glory.

Romanists believe men justify themselves by their good works, and partaking of the sacraments, and bartering indulgences for themselves or others, and by prayers delivered to wooden statues.

That is not the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is...

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