That is truly absurd. And that these texts are trotted out as establishing as "a fact" that Jesus built his Church on Peter, and that is the RCC as the one true church (OTC) is actually an argument against being a RC.It's a fact that Jesus built his Church on Peter. Mat 13:9 : "Who hath ears to hear, let him hear."
A few Bible verses which indicate that Jesus wants everyone to convert to his Church (but that your denomination may interpret differently):
-Mat 16:18
-Matthew 18:15
-1 Timothy 3: 14-15
-John 3:4
-John 3:5
.
Part 2 (blame the 1800 character limit for the many posts):It's a fact that Jesus built his Church on Peter. Mat 13:9 : "Who hath ears to hear, let him hear."

I didn't say that every non catholic will go to hell, I just showed you what the Church teaches.. it seems that you didn't read it.

Off the top of my head I would say the Gospel of John and Genisis.Scripture to back that up, please?
I am a life long Lutheran; like the Catholic Church, we consider re-baptism a sin. As in our Church, when you were baptized in the Catholic Church, through water and the Word, your sins were forgiven, and you received the Holy Spirit. To consent to re-baptism is denying the scriptural promise that Jesus Christ gave to His Church regarding the efficacy of baptism; it is a clear statement that you believe that God got it wrong the first time.Yes baptized in the Roman Catholic Church as a baby, confirmed in the RCC as a teenager, then as an adult was re-baptized in the Catholic Church, known as the Body of Christ.
I believe the RCC Priesthood is not authoritative, so I confess my sins directly to the Lord, who already knows my sins and has already forgiven them.

As I expected; no response. LOL.The same might be said for the Augsburg Confession, the Refutation, and the response to the Refutation commonly known as the Apology of the Augsburg Confession. You ask if we are open minded enought to consider your video; are you open minded enough to consider our position, about 450 years older than your video?

I would hope so, but like most who have a drum to beat and a soap box, I'm not holding my breath. One sided dialogues hold no interest for me, and serve no one well.
I do not believe in infant baptism only in the believers baptism. It is not biblical nor for that matter is it a sin to be immersed a million times. What really matters is baptism in the Holy Spirit, this is what John the Baptist stressed to the Pharisees.I am a life long Lutheran; like the Catholic Church, we consider re-baptism a sin.

The sacraments are not about what we do; we have no part in them at all; rather they are all about what God does for us.
Period.
It is true, that as shown, distinctive Catholic teachings are not manifest in the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed (including how they understood the OT and gospels), which is Scripture, especially Acts thru Revelation.I am a Catholic for life, baptized and confirmed however, I disagree with 100 percent of man made doctrines developed through the centuries by the RCC. The Holy Spirit directs us in all truth so that is all I can count on with the solid foundation laid by the Apostles of Jesus Christ of Nazareth in both the new and old testaments known as, The Holy Scripture.

That re-baptism is a sin presumes the first baptism was valid, this being a convert's formal expression of the required repentant faith, (Acts 2:38: 8:36,37) and not an act itself effecting regeneration by which one is made actually good enough to be with God (until the remaining sinful nature is expressed, thus usually necessitating mythical RC Purgatory to become good enough to be with God, as per RC teaching .I am a life long Lutheran; like the Catholic Church, we consider re-baptism a sin.

Jesus told us that unless you eat His Flesh and drink His blood you have no life in you. There is no where outside the His Church that this can happen.
Noah's Ark is seen as a prefigurement of the Church. Many Church Fathers and contemporary bible scholars agree. Outside the Ark, no one was saved.
Of course you are going to counter with your own meaning of these scriptures. But I am giving you what you asked for.
The Orthodox Church isn't only Greeks. We are commonly referred to as Eastern Orthodox, in contrast to the Oriental Orthodox (although "oriental" actually means "eastern", but I don't want to confuse anybody)
I am afraid the Roman Catholic Church disagrees with you. My soul is marked forever regardless of my beliefs.But to deny such is to cease to be a Catholic,
Protestants dont have a valid priethood, therefore cannot have the Eucharist.Other churches do the ceremony so how do you mean it can't be done outside the Catholic church?
considering what I posted has been the understanding of the Church since the beginning, anything contrary would be the traditions of.men.Traditions of men, and not the scripture I asked for. IOW, they made that up.
