What I find pretty ironic is that NOBODY here, other than the elitist FRoman Catholics, is recruiting people to join "their" church. Nobody is proclaiming that unless one is a Southern Baptist they are bound for hell. Nobody has claimed ONLY the Lutherans or Methodists or Evangelicals are going to heaven or alone can lay claim to being THE church of Jesus Christ. Nope, but that is something more than a few FRomans have declared openly. We can look at the Apostles and the gospel they preached that won thousands to saving faith in Christ and it was, and STILL is, the ONLY way to Christ. They never said people HAD to belong to a church to be saved. They said that salvation was by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ and those who believed in Him would be made partakers of Christ and become part of His body, His bride.

I just find it amazing how differently we see things than those of the elitist type religions. It's how we can tell what is man-made from what is from God.

nobody else has the authoriity to do so. The Catholic church is the true church of Christ and thus, anyone recruiting people to another church would be leading them astray. There can only be one Holy, Catholic and Apostolic church on Earth and the Catholic church is that one. Wheen we recruit peopple to the Catholic church, we are recruiting them TO Christ, not some man made vaariation of what the true church is...
