Ha! It is time for some of the bible-THUMPERS here was the other side of the sword Christian vs Christian for once!
CJ - lol! I did not even attempt to respond to their own doctrine.
You know what this surprising? Is melted who think they can play the game against all the Catholics want us in their will … but when we joined the offensive, it's heresy, but all!
Catholics are the real victims, the oppressed who really, here in R & S. We respond to the merged with Catholic doctrine several times each day. However, when it is finally turn refuse to pay even a single reliable answer.
Congratulations to JW on me. Even he (no offense intended, respectable lord) took the liberty of offering a response that explains their faith.
A note to cast: As a Catholic, and I know the point of Fr. Joe's question is not necessarily the strange questions. Is to show what you dish melted to the U.S. every day.

Not being a Protestant I can only speak to your first question, that's not all that Catholics were not expelled by the Protestant Reformation. If, in fact, exchange of rings is a pagan custom which is done by Catholics Protestants, because it did not because the cats like Luther and Calvin were pagans private.
I feel like I knew that even though they are and trying to needle Proddies.

About 50 percent of their questions are mistakes or misunderstandings. The rest can be argued very well from the Protestant position.
The case of the immersion is radically better than spraying. There isn't a single case of someone who is baptized by sprinkling in the Bible.
However, all baptisms in the Bible are found in bodies of water.

You are about 50% right.
Why teach baptism by immersion, when there is nobody in the Bible that never was submerged? In the original Hebrew text in Mattityahu (Matthew) 3:13, for example, is said to Yeshua (Jesus) came to Yarden (Jordan), which is mikvah (submerged) by Yohanan (John).
If you really want to know what the Bible really says, you have to go to the original language it was written.
Edit: Sorry, I used the wrong word. The word is tevilah (immersion). Tevilah (dip) in the mikvah.
Original Gospel of Matthew (Mattityahu) was written in Hebrew. Soon the whole world know.
Edit: One more thing: the immersion in water as a spiritual cleansing practice was Jewish long before John the immerse.

Of all the Christian denominations, Catholics are much closer to paganism than any other. Catholics were the first name, and then there was a Protestant movement in the Renaissance times because people believed that Catholics were too Pagan. If you ask 100 people to their definitions and beliefs, you get 100 responses, so there is no cut and dry answer. People believe what they do because it feels right to them and what is raised to believe in most cases.

That's a lot of assumptions with Bible verses from the Bible out none.
Choose an argument at a time and I will show the error of your ways.
Oh and by the way. Constantine (the founder of the Catholic / Roman religion) was the blending of pagan and Christian together.

Baptist or Protestant were never part of the Catholic Church

They will say that none of these things only matters, if you believe that Jesus is Lord and Savior. Remember that Christianity has become a system based solely on what you think, not how to act …

P. Good questions. Joe. I doubt you'll get good answers anyway.
As a former Protestant myself, I can tell you that I thought practicing Catholics unbiblical things, but never turned in my microscope religion.

Protestants have the highest number of traditions that are not in the Bible as any other Christian group.
and salvation by faith alone and Bible Doctrine by themselves are not in the Bible!

Some people may be deceived sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo …
No offense.
To Him who sits on the throne and the Lamb be praise and honor and glory for ever and ever. Jesus Christ is Lord.
Wow. Catholics gathered all that gives us all the thumbs down. I guess the SFECU has not heard of this issue.
