Re 48709

Yall preach tradition to us all the time but let a fundamentalist, ONE TIME, step out and you tell them to get back in the book?

Yes. Those are your rules. "Bible only" is not a Catholic precept. We can expect you to abide by your own precepts, right?

Question: In today's gospel reading, we see this verse ... The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know whence it comes or whither it goes; so it is with every one who is born of the Spirit. What is meant by this?

Re 48710

It is not necessary to have commited actual personal sins in order to be baptised. Being born with Original Sin is enough to keep you out of Heaven

So now an innocent baby will go to hell, if not baptized because born into sin?

We don't know what happens. All we know is that Baptism is given to us for this purpose, to remove Original Sin.

You have already posted that you don't believe this is so.

The Catechism has been posted about this many times. We teach that you must get baptised to enter in to Heaven. But we also teach a merciful God. So we leave it up to Him to figure out how to handle the "innocent" dead.

You never did answer my question. How old were you the last time you were baptized?

We believe in one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I was baptised before my first birthday.

It was meant to be funny but you are right. I would appreciate you guys pointing it out to me, if/when I stray from scripture. Thanks for bringing this to my attention:')
