My in-laws are all strong Baptists and I think some of them had some real doubts or dreads when I (a Catholic) married into the family. They have all been most gracious from the start; it's one of many experiences that long-since immunized me against any animus against non-Catholic Christians.

I run into some --- what shall I call them? --- Irritants out there who can be ungracious to us Papists, but they can't even put a scratch on my respect for Protestants/Evangelicals/Baptists/Anabaptsts/Non-denoms as a whole. BASIC. Brothers And Sisters In Christ.

Good post.
I find it depressing for Christians on FR to burn up bandwith on fine points of doctrine while Muslims plot our deaths.

Since you have posted this idea several times and no one has rebutted it...

Your attending one church and my going to the same church does not make you and me brother and sister in Christ.

It all depends on whether each of us has a personal continuing relationship with Almighty God the Father through repentance of our sins and faith in and following of the one true and only Lord Jesus Christ, not trying to sneak in some alternate door that bypasses the One True Door which is the necessity of being born again of the Spirit of God (Who points ONLY to Jesus Christ as Lord) and Who leads us into correct comprehension of the Truth, the living breathing Word of God. (He's alive right now.)

Thanks for reading.
