What the Church is saying is that if people are ignorant of God’s Will through the plagues Satan uses to tie and bind them and if they seek wholeheartedly Jesus Christ as their Savior, the Holy Spirit, being able to search their innermost being, can touch their spirit and Guide them to Salvation.But if communion is only given in 1 or more true churches how do you say people who are invincibly ignorant can be saved or that invincibly ignorant unbaptised people are saved when the Lord said unless you are born of water and the Spirit you can not enter the kingdom of God Assuredly.
Maran atha!19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them. 21 Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity. (St. Matthew 7)
Here’s a picture of what the Church means:No I mean for those who heard I thought the church still considers some invincibly ignorant even if they have heard
While it is true that Jesus Delegated His Authority to the Church, the Church remains the Body of Christ, not the Head–she accepts that it is God Alone Who Saves or Rejects man.24 For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen, is not hope. For what a man seeth, why doth he hope for? 25 But if we hope for that which we see not, we wait for it with patience. 26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity. For we know not what we should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit himself asketh for us with unspeakable groanings. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts, knoweth what the Spirit desireth; because he asketh for the saints according to God. 28 And we know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good, to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints.
29 For whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be made conformable to the image of his Son; that he might be the firstborn amongst many brethren. 30 And whom he predestinated, them he also called. And whom he called, them he also justified. And whom he justified, them he also glorified. 31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who is against us? (Romans 8)
That’s because the Church does not preach itself; she preaches Christ, the Fullness of Christ!I am not aware of catholicism preached to me
Do you realize that you are saying that the Incarnation of the Word was superfluous?All creation witnesses to a God. Its sound has gone through all the earth. He has a spirit he is not an animal. All know God. Romans says “Although they knew God they did not glorify Him as God”.
The Holy Spirit can use these forums to Guide you; Satan can use them to bring more confusion into your life/mind.Can I be certain I can find the truth of the church without asking and going on forums?
Apostolic Teaching is the bar for our test.17 Pray without ceasing. 18 In all things give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you all. 19 Extinguish not the spirit. 20 Despise not prophecies. 21 But prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22 From all appearance of evil refrain yourselves. 23 And may the God of peace himself sanctify you in all things; that your whole spirit, and soul, and body, may be preserved blameless in the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Thessalonians 5)
I fully concur with this thought.The apostles today are certainly not as qualified as the ancient apostles
