All Catholics are sealed with the Holy Spirit at their Baptism as well as at their Confirmation.

whoa....hold on....how many times does one need to be sealed in catholicism??

The Word indicates a one time sealing of the Holy Spirit at belief for the follower of Christ and another is not required.

Acts 8:14-17 and Acts 19:1-7 clearly disagree with you. Both passages state that the followers had ALREADY been sealed to Christ by a water baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus, and then they completed their initiation by a separate, SECOND sealing where they were anointed by the laying of hands and received the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

I will take the Bible's word over your word.

I agree Eagle. A one time sealing is good enough for me.

Catholicism......

You need to be baptized because you’re saved with baptism. Except if you’re not.

You need to be confirmed because you’re saved with confirmation. Except if you’re not.

You need to eat Jesus because you’re saved with easting Jesus. Except if you’re not.

You need to do works because you’re saved by doing works. Except if you’re not.

There’s many different things they say you have to do to get saved and stay saved, except for the least little reason, God will zap you and send you to hell.

So they teach a saved child of God can go to hell.

So what exactly are they using the term *saved* for?

What the heck do they think we are being saved FROM if people do all that and still end up in hell?????

Cause they certainly aren’t being saved from hell.
