Alter call? Rapture?

Naturally, non-Catholics cannot accept that the Catholic Church represents Christ in this world, so they are forced to look for a personal earthly reign somewhere out in the future. The notion that Jesus will come, reign, and then depart, so that the devil can trick the world again, is incompatible with the incomprehensible dignity of the Lord and His love for His people. Jesus’ Coming will be definitive, triumphant and ever-lasting, NOT temporal and limited.

Altar calls are a tradition?

A practice, maybe, but not something that needs to be believed or adhered to as a rule of faith.

The rapture? How does that fit into a tradition?

You do realize that nobody is required to believe in the rapture to be saved, don’t you?

But it's not incompatible with Scripture.

Individuals represent Christ to the world. Organizations don't and can't.

Jesus has already allowed the devil to trick you guys once and he will do it again...

And I see you are using your man-made logic to figure all this out which is foolishness to Jesus instead of believing what he tells you in the scriptures...

It's funny that non Catholics believe and accept what Jesus says in the scripture because they can read it there but you guys deny it even tho you can read it there because those guys in the long robes who love the chief seats in the synagogues tell you not to believe it ...
