Many christian churches teach how to apply the 9 ministry gifts of the holy spirit 1 cor. 12

And teach the 5 fold ministry

And have a communion service and healing ministry services

What makes the Catholic church service better ?

Is this just because they have a better communion service. And are taught to believe in the miracle of a changed wafer. ?

Every church has access to the same scripture.

And as peter said God is not a respector of persons.

What he does for one he will do for another.

The teaching of the authority of the believer is more taught in a Christian church.

With notable results even on utube

What is this fullness taught by catholics?
Catechism of the Catholic Church

814 From the beginning, this one Church has been marked by a great diversity which comes from both the variety of God’s gifts and the diversity of those who receive them. Within the unity of the People of God, a multiplicity of peoples and cultures is gathered together. Among the Church’s members, there are different gifts, offices, conditions, and ways of life. "Holding a rightful place in the communion of the Church there are also particular Churches that retain their own traditions."263 The great richness of such diversity is not opposed to the Church’s unity. Yet sin and the burden of its consequences constantly threaten the gift of unity. And so the Apostle has to exhort Christians to "maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."264

815 What are these bonds of unity? Above all, charity "binds everything together in perfect harmony."265 But the unity of the pilgrim Church is also assured by visible bonds of communion:
  • profession of one faith received from the Apostles;
  • common celebration of divine worship, especially of the sacraments;
  • apostolic succession through the sacrament of Holy Orders, maintaining the fraternal concord of God’s family.266
816 "The sole Church of Christ [is that] which our Savior, after his Resurrection, entrusted to Peter’s pastoral care, commissioning him and the other apostles to extend and rule it. . . . This Church, constituted and organized as a society in the present world, subsists in (subsistit in) the Catholic Church, which is governed by the successor of Peter and by the bishops in communion with him."267

The Second Vatican Council’s Decree on Ecumenism explains: "For it is through Christ’s Catholic Church alone, which is the universal help toward salvation, that the fullness of the means of salvation can be obtained. It was to the apostolic college alone, of which Peter is the head, that we believe that our Lord entrusted all the blessings of the New Covenant, in order to establish on earth the one Body of Christ into which all those should be fully incorporated who belong in any way to the People of God."268

Greetings Evangelical chr and welcome to CAF.

The implication in your OP makes me ask as im sure all outsiders looking in would like to know also - of the gospel you teach/preach, what would you or your pastor consider to be open for scrutiny or not necessarly the fullness of truth?

Peace!!!

It’s not that a Catholic liturgy is “better”, it’s that it’s different.

We have readings from Scripture, just as you do.
We have hymns and prayers, just as you do.
We have preaching, just as you do.

However, our liturgy is an actual sacrifice – just as Jesus did, and just as He commanded His apostles to do.

In our liturgy, we follow the practice that began from the very beginnings of Christianity – the breaking of the bread and the belief, taught by Jesus himself, that the bread and wine become His body and blood.

Well, that’s one way to put it. (It’s a way, BTW, that doesn’t sound respectful in the ears of a Catholic.)
Every church has access to the same scripture.
Ahh… but not every denomination interprets it identically, do they? Therefore, if one denomination says “it means X” and another says “it means not-X”, then one of them necessarily is more correct, right? So… from where does a denomination receive its authority to interpret Scripture?
And as peter said God is not a respector of persons.
Two thoughts: first of all, that’s not a particularly great translation.

In the Greek, it’s:

οὐκ ἔστιν προσωπολήμπτης ὁ Θεός

The word προσωπολήμπτης literally means “face accepter”; in other words, God does not accept one because his race or shun another because of his. A better translation might be “God does not show partiality.”

Second, you’re taking this out of context, aren’t you? Peter is saying that he doesn’t have the right to call anyone ‘profane’ or ‘unclean’ just because they’re a Gentile. Catholics don’t call non-Catholic Christians ‘profane’ or ‘unclean’. Do non-Catholic Christians label Catholics as unbelievers, though? In other words, is it non-Catholic Christians who run afoul of Peter’s exclamation in Acts 10:34? :hmmm:
What he does for one he will do for another.
That’s pretty un-Biblical, don’t you think? Didn’t Jesus himself say that there will be those who cry out “Lord, Lord!”, but will not be saved? Didn’t He even identify that among these will be even those who had participated in “the five-fold ministry” and will not be saved? That’s a far cry from “what he does for one he will do for another,” isn’t it?
The teaching of the authority of the believer is more taught in a Christian church.
And you would know that… how? And besides, what is the authority of the believer? What is the authority given the Church and its leaders?
 
Okay, OP you asked…so where are you now and do you understand what we have shared so far or have any follow on questions? Otherwise this just looks like some kind of drive-by…

Maybe he /she got scared off by the truth…just like many of our Lords followers couldn’t accept his statement that his body is real flesh and his blood is real drink…that’s the saddest thing about Evangelicals…the greatest gift Jesus gave to us…his body blood soul and divinity…why would any Christian reject Jesus Christ…some even mock those who believe in the real presence…really sad.

Evangelical, glad you asked. It’s very simple to explain.

(All links are operational)

Jesus established only ONE Church. That ONE Church He gave all His promises to. The name of that ONE Church is the Catholic Church, in writing, from the beginning. A condensed history
  • **#27 ** ]
Jesus put Peter in charge of His Church on earth and said not even the gates of hell will prevail against it.
There was an argument among the apostles over who was the greatest among THEM. BTW, it was started started by Satan
The Church is Jesus’ bride. And Jesus is faithful to His bride. He has no other spouses.
As you can see from the 1st link,
  • **#27 ** ]
  • Jesus insists on ***perfect *unity, within His hierarchy, and His Church in union with Peter, and all those who come to faith through their teaching.
  • **John 17:20-23 ** ,
  • and since the HS only teaches what comes from Jesus **John 16:12-15 **
  • no one can say the HS inspired them to divide from the Catholic Church especially when considering the scandal of all the divisions we see today, that is called Protestantism.
  • As you look through the internal links in that 1st link, you’ll see that once someone is made aware of their situation, i.e. in this case, are in (division) then they need to make a decision. Either one corrects that fault, end their division from the Catholic Church, or the consequences Paul mentions for that sin, are in play.
Evangelical,

In a nutshell that’s the answer I would give to your questions.
