M’y husband and I converted from Protestantism 4 years ago at the age of 22 😎 baptized our first baby, Edith Faustina only a few years later! Deo Gratias!
@@protestant2catholic243 thank you hope all is well in your part of the world all quit in Ireland hope you have a blessed Easter give my best to faustina god bless
I’m nineteen and converted to Catholicism about over a year ago. I wasn’t raised religious, yet started exploring Christianity from a Protestant angle that was aggressively anti-catholic. I had an atheist phase, started to rediscover Christianity, this time in the fullness of the faith found in Catholicism. Glad you came home, brother!
@@BrandonDanilition *Of course you do. R Church rejects Works Alone Salvation - Pelagianism or semi Pelagianism. But embraces another more sinister form of Works Salvation that says "faith + good works + partake R sacraments + submit to R pontiff + be in R Church + devote to Mary = to be saved". Where in the Bible teaches that?* you said For instance, we don’t believe in work based salvation. We believed you’re saved by grace, yet you won’t accept that.
@@BrandonDanilition *Bible says so. You are saying Bible is anti Catholics. You said it correctly.* you said So you not here for a conversation, but to share the same notes like a bot that literally any other anti-catholic says
I am a protestant and recently read about the miracle of Lanciano and it absolutely captivated me! I am now doing research into the other teachings of the Catholic Church.
@@Kitiwake Except that Catholics believe that the Eucharist is truly the body and blood of Jesus. I've never heard of a eucharistic miracle in any protestant church??
@@mirianaelyse9903 since Scripture shows even demons perform miracles, don't base your faith on them. study Scripture, Ma'am - it proves clearly that catholicism isn't Christianity.
I remember when I was preparing for receiving the Eucharist for the first time when I was nine. During adoration, I cried and cried and wept and didn't know why, I just felt such love I've never felt before. And 12 years nothing changed, expect now I know that love was the true presence of Christ and now I can feel Him present during the Mass too. :) Welcome, sister!
@@anastasijahrsak5751 no such thing as a yooookrist in Christianity, friend. Jesus isn't in a cracker nor ever will be - the Lord's Supper is symbolic for internalizing and studying His Word see Matt 4:4 and Luke 4:4 *Happy Sabbath!!!* i pray church this morning, the Lord's day, is a blessing for all who know God, love Christ and walk in Truth!
I am an elderly Filipino Catholic grandmother. I listened to your conversion story. Welcome home! I will pray for your continuing conversion. Yes, young man, conversion is an ongoing process! God bless you!
@@protestant2catholic243 Sir. do you believe a Christian and God's church know God, love Christ and walk in Truth - according to Scripture - or do they not? it's not a difficult question nor is it a trick question. if you like, i can show you where to find them.
With Christ its the more solid foundation,the Roman church persecuted the children of Israel and taught superseccesionism or replacement theology. They forget apostle Paul in his epistle's said differently. Salvation is of the jews,who preserved the oracles of God..
@@tony1685 " If God's church/Catholic church know God, walk in TRUTH according to scriptures or not"? You do not have to show us any source of information, because the answer can be found within the CATHOLIC'S heart, mind and soul which is being projected in their OUTWARD behavior/character ans the answer is.... the Majority of them are NOT walking in TRUTH Nor do they follow the scriptures and that includes Church leaders.Why not? Because Jesus ONE Judas has now multiplied to THOUSAND JudasES spread inside and outside his founding church. TRUTH hurts, but it must be told.Sad, but that is the TRUTH.
@@michellebryan8148 catholicism isn't allowed to follow His Word, Michelle - if they did, it would be contrary their 'dogma'. that's the point - cahtolicism can't be Truth or it would uphold (teach, preach, follow) His Truth - 1 Tim 3:15, but it doesn't.
I was an atheist until I was 20. At 20, I had a dream that proved to me Christianity was true and I became a Seventh-day Adventist. 11 years later I converted to Catholic. God is good.
@@JamesSantiago-c8f thankfully we have the Word of God which proves catholicism isn't Holy at all. care for the Bible proof? or would you do like all catholics and just state your feelings and ignore It? Truth invites investigation! ~ catholicism runs from It.

When i had my miracle with Jesus and the Eucharist..i was already 36 years old and i felt like 35 years was robbed from me of the most beautiful thing..to adore Jesus every sunday on the Eucharist..nobody told me Jesus is real and not just faith..He is more than real than any material things..Jesus is my Lord my Saviour and my King..
@@mojo7495 So if you like you can debate with me about the presence of Jesus in bread and wine. But maybe this is enough proof: John 6: 46 No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father. 47 Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. 50 But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.52 Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” 53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. 57 Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” 59 He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum. Also read: Matthew 26,26-29 Mark 14,22-25 Luke 22,17-20 John 6,32-36; 48,66 Acts 2 42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Acts 20 7On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. 1 Corinthians 10,16; 11,24-34 God bless you.
@@niakoch9390 You picked the wrong person to debate because I did a 50,000 word essay on why Transubstantiation is a lie from the pit of hell, with over 100 biblical reasons to prove it, so I know the topic like the back of my hand and also know full well you won't be able to deal with the avalanche of evidence against you, and drop out rather quickly. To simply quote J-6 and demand we take Christ literally, proves absolutely nothing. The evidence shows he was speaking METAPHORICALLY in those "cannibalistic" passages and you have no biblical right to think otherwise. In any case, I could start from any number of angles, but my first point would be that whatever Catholics have to say about the Eucharist must be rejected because they have spit on Christ's command to take BOTH bread and wine; preferring to take only the bread. So it is a sure thing that WHATEVER Christ meant about "eating flesh and drinking blood", God has more respect for Protestants who do as he says by taking BOTH elements, rather than for Catholics who do not. Will you start off your reply with, "The Roman Catholic Church says it's alright to take only the bread because..." But I will tell you I don't give a rat's tail what the RCC says. Christ said to take BOTH and you darn well know it. Now deal with it.
@@mojo7495 It sounds like you're looking to fight and argue, while the original poster is just praising, and loving God in a spiritual and physical way. Give all glory to God, and let Him soften our hearts. His holy spirit guides us gently. Not through unsolicited debates that attack the beautiful comment of the original post.
I have had a similar experience. I came late into the church and finally, influenced by the teachings of Derek Prince, got baptized last summer in a nondenominational Church of Christ. I, like you, believe in the real presence of Christ in the eucharist. Just a month or two after, l was drawn to Mary and the rosary, the saints (especially Padre Pio and St. Therese de Lisieux) and chaplet of divine mercy. So i was worshipping in a protestant church while praying the rosary and the chaplet of Divine Mercy daily 😅. I realized that l am a catholic at heart and started RCIA classes last October and was confirmed this Easter. I now attend Latin Mass weekly and love it. I pray that Christians soon unite into the one true, catholic and apostolic church that Jesus Himself founded.
@@protestant2catholic243 why don't you start with Bible basics, friend? i was catholic 35 yrs, now Christian. doesn't God's church have criteria? see 1 Tim 3:15, John 14:15 for accuracy.
I came to recognize Christ in my life when I was around 23 years old. I remained Catholic, but for the longest time I thought that the best teaching was in the Protestant world. I consumed the Bible and biblical studies through the Protestant/evangelical world. Around the age of 40 I started to recognize the teachings of the early church and realized what I had been missing. There was so much great teaching available within the Catholic Church. How I had missed it for all those early years I don’t know, but I did. Here’s the biggest difference for me. Often the evangelical world keeps you at the foot of the cross. You’re forgiven, was what they always pointed out, but there was more. Our journey starts at the foot of the cross and then we must trek through the desert to get to the promised land. It’s in that journey that God wants to teach us, change us and sanctify us so that we can become who we’re meant to be.
@@MadDog7XL So True! I recommend every Catholic, convert or cradle, to read Eusebius History of the Church and St. Augustine's Confessions. These two wonderful books filled in the holes of those fuzzy times in Christian History that Protestants can't really tell you much about.
I would love to hear the story of your confirmation Saint. I am a 56 year old Protestant convert currently going through RCIA. I prayed for a couple weeks for guidance on selecting my confirmation Saint. I felt as if I wasn’t being heard. Studying all the different saints, I decided on Saint Lawrence. Although I didn’t feel a solid connection, I liked his style. Let me preface what happened next with two things. One I was Protestant, so Saints were a new thing. Two, I was learning about male saints. Now, the early morning hours of this past January 7th I heard a voice say twice to me (because I seemed confused)………Saint Helena. I have never heard of this Saint and wasn’t sure if there actually was one. At 5 am I’m looking up Saint Helena and the hair stood up on my neck. There she was. She is credited for finding the cross that Christ was crucified on and is the patron saint of converts. So just because you feel you aren’t being heard doesn’t mean you won’t receive an answer. God bless you.
WHOAAAA! Praise God. That is so amazing. They say “you don’t choose you confirmation saint, your confirmation saint chooses you.” Saint Helena definitely chose you
Ain’t that the truth?! Be prepared to give a defense but expect that no defense will be enough for certain people you encounter. May God continue to bless you on your journey! 🙏🏻
Jesus is no more physically present in your bread and wine than there is a man in the moon. Over 100 reasons can be given that he is NOT physically present in a crumb of bread and drop of wine, and I'll bet you don't know EVEN ONE of them! Thus, due to lack of knowledge, it's no wonder you're deceived.
Fellow convert here. Spent 20 years in the Methodist who is splitting over homosexuality issues - and really because they have no desire to get to God’s Truth on this and other issues. Methodism, Covid, BLM, trans movement converted me to be Catholic!!!
That's Our Holly faith, Bible, Doctrine, Magisterium but we do have "progressive" politicians in the Vatican, not all but at the top. Get it? But that should not make any true catholic leave. Persecution of the End of times started including within The Church. You got in just on time. Look for the apparitions of Fatima, Akita and Garabandal. Prayer, penitence, Rosary, sacramentals, Fasting, faith, hope, courage, humility, acts of mercy, commendments, prepareness.
Thank you. Keep moving forward. Grew up as a Catholic, Left for a large Evangelical Church in South Barrington, Illinois for 13 years. Teaching and worship were wonderful. Went through some personal difficulties, and returned to a Franciscan Church in Downtown Chicago, and all the teaching drew me to a deep relationship with Christ and the Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Now Have peace. You are a lovely young man. So proud of you.
God bless you! Thank you for sharing your beautiful and honest journey. I’ve learned so much from Scott Hahn, Pints with Aquinas, and Catholic Answers. We live in a time where there’s so many opportunities to learn about our faith. Stay strong and on fire!
I love the Easter Vigil too. It's my favorite celebration of the Church. Listening to our salvation history in the readings moves me so much. The Church is so rich, through it, I was healed of inner wounds from child molestation, from oppression and from fear of the opposite sex. The Church's deliverance ministry is so powerful, but is sadly, not very much known to us Catholics. I truly believe, so much of today's overwhelming problems can be cured through it.
@@protestant2catholic243 i had to go through multiple teaching of the roman catholic 'church' and dispel them with the Word of God before i was able to comfortably leave this system (after more than 3 decades). if you'd like multiple proofs as to why Jesus isn't in a cookie or any of the other doctrines taught by this system - contrary God's Word of Truth - just let me know, i'd love to dig into them with you! thanks for reading.
Oh wake up. Jesus is no more physically present in your bread and wine than there is a man in the moon. Care to debate the issue? No, I didn't think so. For starters, he himself said he was "GOING AWAY' no less than 10 times, and promising his presence ONLY by virtue of the indwelling Holy Spirit. He DID NOT promise his physical body parts shrunk down to the size of a Ritz cracker in communion. You are deluded.

Thank you for sharing. I’m a cradle Catholic & my husband converted from baptist to Catholicism the Easter of 2019. We both have experienced a reconversion from being luke-warm to on fire Catholics this past summer. We are currently doing the St. Joseph consecration with Fr. Calloway and thought it was cool that you mentioned St. Joseph. God bless you on your lifetime journey of growing in your faith in Jesus Christ through the Catholic Church. So excited for you!

Thank you so much! And thank you for sharinf your story! I was very blessed, my family reacted well and one of them is in RCIA now this year! Maybe I will make a video on that!
Studying in a Lutheran College as a Catholic has a been a challenge, but also such a blessing to see how God works through everyone to guide people to te truth. Thank you so much for your testimony! It’s very revealing and healing. Blessings! Majo Insuasti.
Got teary-eyed on that Confession part. There's nothing really more humbling than Confession. It's so beautiful and you have to reflect on your sins before that right and then telling it to the representative of Christ. Your story is amazing. Thanks for sharing it. I hope you'll reach a lot more people. ☺

Welcome home brother.
The Lord has been so kind and loving to you! How amazing that you have been open to him! What a testament to love. I could really imagine Jesus walking next to you during that week and really leaning into your need of feeling loved for your dignity as a child of God instead of your performance. There's an interview with Sister Miriam called "The healing Christ wants for you" that was life changing for me and your comment made me think of that. I recommend it. When you were speaking about hunger for the word of that wonderful pastor I thought of my hunger for the Eucharist and how I can continue to deepen my relationship with Jesus at holy mass through studying the word more. Thank you! How wonderful that you walked through your moments of disconnect with God. Those are such moments of true growth for our faith. I would recommend St. Ignatius of Loyola's rules of discernment as a way of helping during the hard times. It looks like the Holy Spirit has already spoken many of these spiritual truths to you!. God's bessings to you on your journey! St. Joseph, intercede and pray for us!
I was baptised and Catholic my entire life, I remember applying for Jobs online and putting it as my faith and never even knew about it, I was always struggling in the world for understanding, I never wanted secular things, this last year the lord healed me so much, I remember I went to confession my first time and I confessed sins in general but some where specific still on my conscience and one day the holy spirit, felt divided in me not fully at peace, and I knew it was my sins to be confessed, so I wrote them all down and went and confessed, I have never experienced so much love in my life, before the priest granted absolution, I felt all my sin be wiped clean off my soul and my conscience and the Holy Spirit rested in full, praise God, nobody ever thought me the faith but the lord knew I needed him.
you gave me goose bumps with your conversion story!!! WELCOME HOME, brother!!! i am so happy for you. God bless and keep you! Stay close to our Blessed Mother and St Joseph, you willl see enormous graces in getting closer to our Lord Jesus!!! :)

I practiced New Age in my early 20’s it caused a crisis in my Catholic faith. It’s a huge regret in my life as it lead me to lust, self-indulgence and detachment from reality. I had to be delivered, as my life was in turmoil, nevertheless when I returned to my Catholic faith my life was transformed for the better. Virtue started to flourish and innocence was restored. Avoid New Age it’s not compatible with faith in Christ. The Rosary changed my life exponentially, and the mass is powerful and definitely healing. Thanks for your testimony.
Welcome Home Brother,God Bless you..being Catholics you have to face many ups and downs,doubts and so on,but don't get carried away,followed the life of Saints like St.Padre Pio.....i pray that Jesus help you to carry our Cross to Salvation.
All praise and thanksgiving be to God. I am a cradle Catholic and was just nominal and struggling then. It was only when I asked to Lord to increase my knowledge of Him, to help me in my faith that God poured out on me the events, circumstances, and books that helped me much. The book that helped me so much in meditation is the The Life of Mary As Seen by the Mystics as compiled by Ralph Brown. I also listen a lot to Fr. Chris Alar with his Explaining the Faith Series. Since then, all the questions that i had were answered. All the difficulties in undertanding the faith were gone. All that i want to do is to love the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament and to offer Him everything through Mama Mary...Thank you so much for your testimony, it strengthens my faith and love for the Lord.💝💝💝
Welcome home brother! I recommend you watch videos of Dr. Brant Pitre (St. Augustine Instititue and Catholic Productions) here in UA-cam. He is an amazing Catholic scholar. He helped me so much in understanding the Catholic faith. God bless you!
I've got other tasks to tend to, but I'm halfway through and there has not been a single appeal to Scripture-hardly any mention of Scripture. I always find this troubling... And what would you say to anyone who sees the "Adoration" as idolatry, since one is reverencing an object that seems to be a violation of at least 2 of the 10 commandments-not to mention a violation of Jewish law, that one not drink blood? ... Falling in love with the Church? The love of the Catholic Church? Half my family is Catholic, no Catholic in all of my life has ever expressed concern for my soul or attempted to share their faith with me... "Holding on to the Eucharist"? What does that mean? Did he say he wants to "seek [the Eucharist]" so badly? What exactly is the Eucharist? "Desiring confession"? What does that mean... confession to a priest? "The power and healing of the Sacraments"? What's he referring to there? Entire video and no mention of the Gospel, no appeals to the teachings of the Bible, no mention of sin, repentance, the cross... I'm afraid I'm not following. _What is the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to the Roman Catholic Church? "...what must I do, that I may be saved?"_
@@jessebryant9233 Are you referring to the video or my post? It seems you are confused and has lots of questions but is not even open-minded about it? You say half of your family is Catholic? Well, they may be just nominal Catholics, or shall I say Catholics that are lukewarm. They may be poorly catechized in that regard. Poorly catechized Catholics, or those who lack understanding of the faith, are prone to stray away from the Church and become lost. You will need to study more. Like I said in my post, go search Dr. Brant Pitre here in UA-cam. His explanations can help a lot. Or you can enroll in an RCIA for inquries (it doesn't mean your converting), no committment in enrolling such. I will pray for you.
@@zenvirgil Yeah, sorry. I was referring to the video. But, it seems as you claim how? How did you come to that conclusion? Also, you just described virtually every Catholic I've ever met! Though most a well catechized and do know what answers to parrot. But if you ask specific questions as I have in the above comment, I always get responses like yours and am directed to look elsewhere rather than given any kind of answers from those who profess to believe themselves. (1 Peter 3:15-16?) I mean, isn't the question of "What is the Gospel..." the single most fundamental question there is? What is the answer to that question?
@@protestant2catholic243 in case you did not read it, I will repeat my question to you: What is the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to the Roman Catholic Church? "...what must I do, that I may be saved?"

@Protestant2Catholic, welcome to The Church👏👍🙏 The Virgin Mary will ALWAYS lead you closer to Jesus, our Lord.! Your meeting that Catholic family and you “noticing” the picture of the Virgin Mother was NO COINCIDENCE! I am so happy for you! I hope that your desire to learn more about the Catholic Faith will forever be ingrained in your heart and soul because there is soooo much history in the Catholic Church. I love listening to Catholic conversion stories because there is this tremendous ache in my heart that keeps me so sad when I think about it because my 2 kids have turned their backs on the One True Church. Your story confirmed what I learned through Catholic conversion stories that most Protestants or non-denominational converts to Catholicism read many books, some in the hundreds (I heard of one who read more than 1000 books), and researched through Christian history and now, in your case, through pod casts, before they converted to Catholicism while most ex-Catholics converted to Protestantism or non-denomination churches because they did not have good understanding of the Catholic Church’s teachings. Again, welcome to The Church and God bless you always🙏❤️🙏
Hey! Oh wow thank you so much for sharing your story! It was super interesting! Personally, I'm not Catholic yet, but I highly consider Catholicism. I was raised in a "lookwarm" orthdox family and God has always been my best friend:) 2 years ago He revealed Himself to me through the Bible and I gave my life to Christ. I considered myself a non-denominational Christian and started attending lutheran church. After watching a lot of videos on UA-cam (Trent Horn, father Mike schmitz etc.) and listening to many debates, I think that Catholicisim might be true. At first, I believed that they weren't even Christians at all, because they don't believe they ARE saved. After seeing some of Cameron B's content, I was so afraid that my relationship with God was based on a lie, that I didn't have any right to read and interpret the Bible on my own, let alone be sure of salvation. Actually, I went through a time of depression, but thanks to God it's now getting better and I'm not afraid of Catholicism being true anymore.. My main issue though is still salvation. Could you please sum up the Catholic understanding of the Gospel? Is there assurance of salvation? Or only "assurance of purgatory"? I know that mortal sin can lead one to hell, if this sin isn't confessed, but then I wonder.. why would a true christian/Catholic want to commit it? Hope you can help me out:) Greetings from Germany:)
Violetta, those are really good questions! I am interested to partially address them while you are waiting for a reply from the Protestant2Catholic. I'm a cradle Catholic fortunate to be well formed in the the content of the Faith. These won't be complete answers, but they are true pointers. Maybe they will help. 1) Assurance of Salvation: Believers can be sure of God's salvation, just as we can be sure of everything He is and does. He has saved us, as in, He has given us the gift of salvation, all we need to be saved. What remains is for us to open and use--live out--His gift. This is why St. Paul can say, "work out your own salvation in fear and trembling." What God does is certain: what mankind does takes place in the realm of free will and original sin as well as in the realm of Grace. 2) You say "mortal sin can lead one to hell, if this sin isn't confessed, but then I wonder.. why would a true christian/Catholic want to commit it?" My answer: How can man commit any sin? What is sin? Well, we only are responsible for a wrong we do IF a) we do it with full knowledge of what we are doing and b) we fully consent to the action with our free wills. (So for example, accidental manslaughter, say hitting/killing a pedestrian while you are out driving drunk, is correctly not punished in human law as harshly as we punish first degree murder, because while the objective content is present--an innocent life was taken in both cases--in the latter case it was done with neither full knowledge nor full consent. Another example is when a child of four pushes a child of two out the window. Not only is this not murder, it is not even called manslaughter, but rather an accident, because the child has no ability to understand, let only fully understand, what she is doing, so knowledge is lacking--nevermind full consent. ) So sin is doing something objectively wrong, with full consent and full knowledge. But how on earth can we sin if we know an action is false and feel it is repulsive? Well, man is built such that he always chooses something under the aspect of it being somehow "good." We never say, "I want this because it is bad." It is always, "Because it is good, somehow." I want to commit adultery not because it is a wicked thing to do, but because it seems so good to do--how can something that feels so right be wrong! Every sin is chosen in the knowledge it is wrong but in the simultaneous conviction that it is right. Our minds can be clouded. Now, we could be saved from our vulnerable intellects if our wills were set on loving what is good: but our wills are also bent and have a taste for bad just as our minds accept lies as truth--ever since our Father and Mother left us the infection of original sin along with our humanity. How is it possible for man to sin? It is possible because we can accept two contradictories at the same time--e.g., we know the adultery is a lie but we "think" of it as a great and shining truth, as we shut our minds to the thought of the betrayals and lies ahead. We simultaneously feel the guilt of sluttishness and self-centeredness and the pleasure of love. And what is mental incapacity but both accepting and rejecting the same thing at the same time and in the same respect? The Principle of Non Contradiction is the bedrock of rationality: without it there is no logic, no ability to reason. If I think I am a cat, yet I read books/laugh at jokes (these states contradict each other), I'm probably under psychiatric care--and any crime I commit while laboring under my delusion I will not be held responsible for--because in an important area I cannot understand and so cannot fully consent. So my answer is that is possible for man to sin because it is possible for man to freely see and freely choose to enter into a self-contradictory state. It is possible for me to live a contradiction: to behave, in this area or in this instance, insanely. And that state is the state of sin. This is a huge area of thought, and I don't know if this was of interest to you, but for what it is worth! In Him Who is the Sanity and the Answer and the Word and Love Itself, Jesus Christ Our Lord.

One doesn't need to read the Bible on how to pray the Stations of the Cross of Mary Most Holy because Tradition says she was the First to do that and so on and so forth.

Welcome Home, brother! May Jesus, Mary, Joseph and all Angels & Saints be with you always. All the Treasures of the Church are in the Catholic Church. You remind me somehow of a young Padre Pio (because of your beard maybe) that’s why I clicked the video. I’m from Asia and today is Padre Pio’s feast day in our time zone. Through his intercession, May he bless and protect you always. You’ll be in my prayers always.
Protestant converts to Catholicism are gifts to the Church. God bless you. Praying for our Protestant brothers and sisters to take the next step to Full conversion. Thank you for sharing your conversion story. I am a cradle Catholic but I had a full conversion this year. I cry because I now realise the treasure that we have in the Catholic Church. Salvation is in the Catholic Church. ❤
Matthew 16:18 “And I say also unto thee, Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” Jesus pronounced a blessing upon Peter and proclaimed Peter's answer as having been derived by divine inspiration. Peter the Apostle, Peter the Rock, Simon Peter, Simeon, Simon, or Cephas, was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ, and one of the first leaders of the early Church. He is traditionally counted as the first bishop of Rome, or now we called the Pope. His successor, Saint Linus (d. c. 67 - 80) was the second bishop of Rome, succeeding the first "pope," Saint Peter, after Peter's martyrdom, and the successions. goes down from the different Popes. The Catholic underwent from different scandals and intrigues, still she is the only one true holy and Apostolic Church. Welcome home. God bless you.

@@perazdera2827 the only deception is the false sola scriptura doctrine, a doctrine never declared by Jesus, the apostles and the early church. Only the Catholic Church follows Jesus' declaration in MAT 16:18-19. Protestantism and its false sola scriptura doctrine has created 40K+ divided protestant cults and sects and has a 500 year history of false end timers and perverted bibles.
Very interesting. It was that cursed "praise and worship" music which drove me OUT of the protestant church. I hate it so much that I couldn't bear to even show up until I knew they were finished. That left me with a sermon and closing prayers. Talk about empty and nearly worthless. Had it not been for my kids, I simply could not have continued going to church. For several years I only went to church for the benefit of my girls. I finally found out the truth about those evil and wicked kathliks. The next week I went to Mass and have only darkened the door of a protestant church a couple times in the last five years. Never to return.
I was raised Baptist. Became atheist when I was around 14. Then over time I started to dabble in paganism and Satanism. I've fully converted to Christianity maybe 5-6 months ago. Now I'm going through RCIA
*R Catholicism has nothing to do with God and His Words. R Catholic Church contradicts Scriptures in every possible ways!* 1. Catholics say Mary was sinless. But BIBLE says Mary offered a sinner's offering. She was a sinner. Bible says Mary needed a Saviour. Lk 2:23-24, Lev 12:6-8, Rom 3:10. 2. Catholics say clergies must be celibate. Yet BIBLE says Peter (supposed R Church first leader) had mother in law. Bible says celibacy is not a qualification for clergies. Mat 8:14-15, Mar 1:30-31, Luk 4:38-39. 3. Catholics say Mary was forever virgin. Yet BIBLE says Jesus had brothers and sisters. Mary was not perpetually virgin. Mk 6:3, Mat 13:55, Mat 27:56, Mar 6:3, Mar 15:40, Mar 15:47. 4. Catholics say confess to R priests in a box. BIBLE says nothing about confessing to priests in a box. Bible says confess to GOD only. 1 John 1:9, Mat 6, Romans 10:9-10. 5. Catholics say drink of the literal blood of Jesus. Yet OT and NT both say do not drink blood. Acts 15, Lev 7:26. 6. Catholics say pray to passed on Mary and "saints". Yet BIBLE says do not contact the dead. NT Church did not record a single case of NT believers asking passed on saints to pray for them. Deut 18:11, Isaiah 8:19. 7. Catholics make and bow down to statues. BIBLE says do not bow down to graven images (statues). Deut 4, Exo 20:4-5. 8. Catholics sprinkles “holy water”. But NT Church of the Bible mentioned nothing about “holy water”. There was no record of any Apostles sprinkling “holy water” on believers. Catholics claimed “holy water” came from OT. Yet Num 5:17 says “holy water” was water used to test adulterous women in OT temple. Hardly the same. Those were for Old Covenant Jews. Not New Testament Christians. 9. Catholics say Peter was pope - bishop of all bishops. Yet BIBLE says Peter was just a leader of the Jerusalem Church. Bible says nothing of the office of bishop of bishops. Gal 2:9, Mat 16:18. 10. Catholics say there is a seat of Peter. Yet BIBLE says nothing about it. Jesus said “not to lord over others”. 11. Catholics has clergy priesthood. Bible says clergy priesthood was done away with in New Testament. There is no clergy priesthood in NT. Heb 7:27, 9:12, 10:10. 12. Catholics preaches Works Salvation (faith + good works + partake R sacraments + submit to R pontiff + be in R Church + devote to Mary = to be saved). Yet Bible says “believe in Jesus to be saved”. Bible says Works Salvation is cursed. Gal 1:8-9. Acts 16:30-31, John 3:16, Romans 10:9-10. 13. Catholics says they must do Penance to atone for their sins. Yet Bible says repent, confess and sins will be forgiven. Catholic Bible changes the word “repentance” in NT into “penance”. Original Greek NT does not use or mean the word penance. Penance = work to atone for sins. Repentance = change of heart. 1 John 1:9, Mat 6. 14. Catholics say Mary went straight to heaven without dying. Yet Bible says nothing about it. 15. Catholics say Islam and Christianity have the same GOD. Yet Islam doesn't believe in death and resurrection of Jesus and Trinity.
*Rev 17 speaks of R Church as the Apostate Church* Check out this description from the Bible that fits R Church perfectly: R Church, Rome (woman) ( city that sits on 7 hills) Beast (spirit of Anti-Christ) Woman on a scarlet beast : R Church and Rome which ride on the spirit of Anti X. 1. Roman priests love to wear scarlet and purple. Rev 17:4. 2. R Church loves to use golden cups. Rev 17:4. 3. R Church persecuted the real Christians (saints) in history from Roman times till modern days. Verse 17:6. 4. Seven mountains where the woman sits. Rome was called the city on 7 hills. Rev 17:9 THat's basically talking about R Church 5. R Church sits on peoples, multitudes, nations and tongues. Rev 17:15 6. Only R Church reigned over kings. Rev 17:18 7. Kings have whoredom with her. Rev 18:3
*Rev 18 R Church the Apostate Church* Woman on the scarlet beast: R Church Babylon: Rome Beast: spirit of Anti-X 1. vs 2 . Corr Rome/R Church has become a place for snomed (worshipping of queen of heaven Asheroth and others) and every f spirit. 2. vs 3. R Church had always been in collusive relationship with Kings of the earth, and had become rich through its corruption and greed. 3. vs 9. R Church used to ordain Kings . Kings used the power of R Church to conquer masses through control, and will lament its destruction. 4. vs 11-15. merchants who colluded with R Church would lament the loss of trade with R Church. 5. vs 20. Rome persecuted the Apostles of NT and prophets of old. 6. vs24. R Church who persecuted true Christians was found with the blood of prophet and saints

Yes I loved going to the mass in Catholic Church every Sunday just to be with Jesus on his lord day where everyone should met him and celebrate it once a week
I discovered that there’s a lot of Providence in the Catholic faith. In Catholicism, the Truth is always searched. There’s always an explanation for everything that we do and why we do them.
I was once in a crazy Baptist sect. (3 years) now I am a Roman Catholic Christian ( 7 years) because I have found The True Church of Jesus. When I was still a Baptist Christian , I Believe in Protestant teaching to hate Catholicism, I initially hated Roman Catholicism. and against the Pope because Protestant books taught me that, but over time, I wondered why Protestants hate Catholicism, so I began to study Catholicism from reading catholic catechism books , Join Roman Catholic Missal every sunday. and went to talk with Catholic Priest, until finally I found out the truth and understood the truth , and I converted to a Roman Catholic Christian. I felt like I had returned to my true home. Filled with love, warmth and kindness. p.s. I love Latin Catholic Rite and Byzantine Catholic rite p.s. 2 I not convert to eastern orthodox because I can't let go of loyalty To the successor of Saint Peter (Pope) p.s. 3 Roman Catholic Church are rich in spiritual legacy and ritual heritage p.s. 4 I am Thai Roman Catholic Christian

nonsense, there is no yooookrist in Christianity.
Jesus did establish the Lord's Supper, which is symbolic.
I am a protestant and recently read about the miracle of Lanciano and it absolutely captivated me! I am now doing research into the other teachings of the Catholic Church.
Lanciano, apparitions and other miracles aren't "teachings" in Catholicism... But rather phenomenon which are there for the faithful as they may wish.
@@Kitiwake Except that Catholics believe that the Eucharist is truly the body and blood of Jesus. I've never heard of a eucharistic miracle in any protestant church??

I remember when I was preparing for receiving the Eucharist for the first time when I was nine. During adoration, I cried and cried and wept and didn't know why, I just felt such love I've never felt before. And 12 years nothing changed, expect now I know that love was the true presence of Christ and now I can feel Him present during the Mass too. :) Welcome, sister!

@@protestant2catholic243 Sir.
do you believe a Christian and God's church know God, love Christ and walk in Truth - according to Scripture - or do they not?
it's not a difficult question nor is it a trick question. if you like, i can show you where to find them.
With Christ its the more solid foundation,the Roman church persecuted the children of Israel and taught superseccesionism or replacement theology. They forget apostle Paul in his epistle's said differently. Salvation is of the jews,who preserved the oracles of God..
@@tony1685 " If God's church/Catholic church know God, walk in TRUTH according to scriptures or not"?
You do not have to show us any source of information, because the answer can be found within the CATHOLIC'S heart, mind and soul which is being projected in their OUTWARD behavior/character ans the answer is....
the Majority of them are NOT walking in TRUTH Nor do they follow the scriptures and that includes Church leaders.Why not?
Because Jesus ONE Judas has now multiplied to THOUSAND JudasES spread inside and outside his founding church.
TRUTH hurts, but it must be told.Sad, but that is the TRUTH.
@@michellebryan8148 catholicism isn't allowed to follow His Word, Michelle - if they did, it would be contrary their 'dogma'.

Jesus is no more physically present in your bread and wine than there is a man in the moon.
Care to debate the issue?
No, I didn't think so.
@@mojo7495 So if you like you can debate with me about the presence of Jesus in bread and wine.
But maybe this is enough proof:
John 6: 46 No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father. 47 Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. 50 But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.52 Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. 57 Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” 59 He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
Also read:
Matthew 26,26-29
Mark 14,22-25
Luke 22,17-20
John 6,32-36; 48,66
Acts 2 42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
Acts 20 7On the first day of the week we came together to break bread.
1 Corinthians 10,16; 11,24-34
God bless you.
@@niakoch9390 You picked the wrong person to debate because I did a 50,000 word essay on why Transubstantiation is a lie from the pit of hell, with over 100 biblical reasons to prove it, so I know the topic like the back of my hand and also know full well you won't be able to deal with the avalanche of evidence against you, and drop out rather quickly.
To simply quote J-6 and demand we take Christ literally, proves absolutely nothing. The evidence shows he was speaking METAPHORICALLY in those "cannibalistic" passages and you have no biblical right to think otherwise.
In any case, I could start from any number of angles, but my first point would be that whatever Catholics have to say about the Eucharist must be rejected because they have spit on Christ's command to take BOTH bread and wine; preferring to take only the bread. So it is a sure thing that WHATEVER Christ meant about "eating flesh and drinking blood", God has more respect for Protestants who do as he says by taking BOTH elements, rather than for Catholics who do not.
Will you start off your reply with, "The Roman Catholic Church says it's alright to take only the bread because..."
But I will tell you I don't give a rat's tail what the RCC says. Christ said to take BOTH and you darn well know it. Now deal with it.
@@mojo7495 It sounds like you're looking to fight and argue, while the original poster is just praising, and loving God in a spiritual and physical way. Give all glory to God, and let Him soften our hearts. His holy spirit guides us gently. Not through unsolicited debates that attack the beautiful comment of the original post.
I have had a similar experience. I came late into the church and finally, influenced by the teachings of Derek Prince, got baptized last summer in a nondenominational Church of Christ. I, like you, believe in the real presence of Christ in the eucharist. Just a month or two after, l was drawn to Mary and the rosary, the saints (especially Padre Pio and St. Therese de Lisieux) and chaplet of divine mercy. So i was worshipping in a protestant church while praying the rosary and the chaplet of Divine Mercy daily 😅. I realized that l am a catholic at heart and started RCIA classes last October and was confirmed this Easter. I now attend Latin Mass weekly and love it. I pray that Christians soon unite into the one true, catholic and apostolic church that Jesus Himself founded.
Thats so awesome!! Thank you for sharing!

@@protestant2catholic243 no answer for what Scripture proves, Sir?
@@tony1685 Glad to see no one Lost their time with your pitful bait.
I came to recognize Christ in my life when I was around 23 years old. I remained Catholic, but for the longest time I thought that the best teaching was in the Protestant world. I consumed the Bible and biblical studies through the Protestant/evangelical world. Around the age of 40 I started to recognize the teachings of the early church and realized what I had been missing. There was so much great teaching available within the Catholic Church. How I had missed it for all those early years I don’t know, but I did. Here’s the biggest difference for me. Often the evangelical world keeps you at the foot of the cross. You’re forgiven, was what they always pointed out, but there was more. Our journey starts at the foot of the cross and then we must trek through the desert to get to the promised land. It’s in that journey that God wants to teach us, change us and sanctify us so that we can become who we’re meant to be.
Thats so amazing. And so true, there is just so much more!
"For protestants, The Cross is the end. For Catholics, The Cross is the beginning"
Love it. Consider it stolen!
I feel the same way.
@@MadDog7XL So True! I recommend every Catholic, convert or cradle, to read Eusebius History of the Church and St. Augustine's Confessions. These two wonderful books filled in the holes of those fuzzy times in Christian History that Protestants can't really tell you much about.
Someone is paying you to sa this, impossible that if you were a christian you become catholic.
I would love to hear the story of your confirmation Saint. I am a 56 year old Protestant convert currently going through RCIA. I prayed for a couple weeks for guidance on selecting my confirmation Saint. I felt as if I wasn’t being heard. Studying all the different saints, I decided on Saint Lawrence. Although I didn’t feel a solid connection, I liked his style. Let me preface what happened next with two things. One I was Protestant, so Saints were a new thing. Two, I was learning about male saints. Now, the early morning hours of this past January 7th I heard a voice say twice to me (because I seemed confused)………Saint Helena. I have never heard of this Saint and wasn’t sure if there actually was one. At 5 am I’m looking up Saint Helena and the hair stood up on my neck. There she was. She is credited for finding the cross that Christ was crucified on and is the patron saint of converts. So just because you feel you aren’t being heard doesn’t mean you won’t receive an answer. God bless you.
WHOAAAA! Praise God. That is so amazing. They say “you don’t choose you confirmation saint, your confirmation saint chooses you.” Saint Helena definitely chose you
Wowwwwwwww God bless you

Now Have peace. You are a lovely young man. So proud of you.
Thank you so much! And thank you for sharing your story. Its so amazing how deep Christ takes us when we start partaking in the sacraments

Thank you! And yes there is so much out there it is amazing!
I love the Easter Vigil too. It's my favorite celebration of the Church. Listening to our salvation history in the readings moves me so much. The Church is so rich, through it, I was healed of inner wounds from child molestation, from oppression and from fear of the opposite sex. The Church's deliverance ministry is so powerful, but is sadly, not very much known to us Catholics. I truly believe, so much of today's overwhelming problems can be cured through it.

Calloway and thought it was cool that you mentioned St. Joseph. God bless you on your lifetime journey of growing in your faith in Jesus Christ through the Catholic Church. So excited for you! Do you mind sharing how your family reacted/responded to your conversion?

Welcome to our Catholic Apostolic Christian Church brotherhood!!
Got teary-eyed on that Confession part. There's nothing really more humbling than Confession. It's so beautiful and you have to reflect on your sins before that right and then telling it to the representative of Christ. Your story is amazing. Thanks for sharing it. I hope you'll reach a lot more people. ☺
Thank you so much! Confession is truly beautiful
Me too.
Welcome home brother🙏🏻✝️🇻🇦🙏🏻✝️🇻🇦🙏🏻

My daughter and husband leafed the Catholic church 15 years ago, and r now Nondenomination . it has been the most paintfull time of our live. we r devorting catholic. it give me hope, i pray the they come back home to our beatibeful catholics faith. thank you for sharing our testimony. Welcome home brother.
The Lord has been so kind and loving to you! How amazing that you have been open to him! What a testament to love. I could really imagine Jesus walking next to you during that week and really leaning into your need of feeling loved for your dignity as a child of God instead of your performance. There's an interview with Sister Miriam called "The healing Christ wants for you" that was life changing for me and your comment made me think of that. I recommend it.
When you were speaking about hunger for the word of that wonderful pastor I thought of my hunger for the Eucharist and how I can continue to deepen my relationship with Jesus at holy mass through studying the word more. Thank you!
How wonderful that you walked through your moments of disconnect with God. Those are such moments of true growth for our faith. I would recommend St. Ignatius of Loyola's rules of discernment as a way of helping during the hard times. It looks like the Holy Spirit has already spoken many of these spiritual truths to you!.
God's bessings to you on your journey! St. Joseph, intercede and pray for us!
Thank you so much for your comments and recommendations! Sister Miriam is amazing I was blessed to attend one of her conferences!
I was baptised and Catholic my entire life, I remember applying for Jobs online and putting it as my faith and never even knew about it, I was always struggling in the world for understanding, I never wanted secular things, this last year the lord healed me so much, I remember I went to confession my first time and I confessed sins in general but some where specific still on my conscience and one day the holy spirit, felt divided in me not fully at peace, and I knew it was my sins to be confessed, so I wrote them all down and went and confessed, I have never experienced so much love in my life, before the priest granted absolution, I felt all my sin be wiped clean off my soul and my conscience and the Holy Spirit rested in full, praise God, nobody ever thought me the faith but the lord knew I needed him.
Confession is so wonderful!!!
Welcome home Brother in Christ!

Thank you so much! Amen!
I practiced New Age in my early 20’s it caused a crisis in my Catholic faith. It’s a huge regret in my life as it lead me to lust, self-indulgence and detachment from reality. I had to be delivered, as my life was in turmoil, nevertheless when I returned to my Catholic faith my life was transformed for the better. Virtue started to flourish and innocence was restored. Avoid New Age it’s not compatible with faith in Christ. The Rosary changed my life exponentially, and the mass is powerful and definitely healing. Thanks for your testimony.
Thank you for sharing!! God bless
You would be a great guest on The Journey Home. Hope to see on the show one day. Welcome home!
Thank you!
God bless you. You don't know how important converts are tonour Church, you bring beautiful energy of the new born in the holly faith to The Church.
Welcome Home Brother,God Bless you..being Catholics you have to face many ups and downs,doubts and so on,but don't get carried away,followed the life of Saints like St.Padre Pio.....i pray that Jesus help you to carry our Cross to Salvation.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it
All praise and thanksgiving be to God. I am a cradle Catholic and was just nominal and struggling then. It was only when I asked to Lord to increase my knowledge of Him, to help me in my faith that God poured out on me the events, circumstances, and books that helped me much. The book that helped me so much in meditation is the The Life of Mary As Seen by the Mystics as compiled by Ralph Brown. I also listen a lot to Fr. Chris Alar with his Explaining the Faith Series. Since then, all the questions that i had were answered. All the difficulties in undertanding the faith were gone. All that i want to do is to love the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament and to offer Him everything through Mama Mary...Thank you so much for your testimony, it strengthens my faith and love for the Lord.💝💝💝
Blessing from Poland 💙
Thank you!
Welcome home brother! I recommend you watch videos of Dr. Brant Pitre (St. Augustine Instititue and Catholic Productions) here in UA-cam. He is an amazing Catholic scholar. He helped me so much in understanding the Catholic faith. God bless you!
I've got other tasks to tend to, but I'm halfway through and there has not been a single appeal to Scripture-hardly any mention of Scripture. I always find this troubling... And what would you say to anyone who sees the "Adoration" as idolatry, since one is reverencing an object that seems to be a violation of at least 2 of the 10 commandments-not to mention a violation of Jewish law, that one not drink blood? ...
Falling in love with the Church? The love of the Catholic Church? Half my family is Catholic, no Catholic in all of my life has ever expressed concern for my soul or attempted to share their faith with me... "Holding on to the Eucharist"? What does that mean? Did he say he wants to "seek [the Eucharist]" so badly? What exactly is the Eucharist? "Desiring confession"? What does that mean... confession to a priest? "The power and healing of the Sacraments"? What's he referring to there?
Entire video and no mention of the Gospel, no appeals to the teachings of the Bible, no mention of sin, repentance, the cross... I'm afraid I'm not following. _What is the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to the Roman Catholic Church? "...what must I do, that I may be saved?"_
@@jessebryant9233 Are you referring to the video or my post? It seems you are confused and has lots of questions but is not even open-minded about it? You say half of your family is Catholic? Well, they may be just nominal Catholics, or shall I say Catholics that are lukewarm. They may be poorly catechized in that regard. Poorly catechized Catholics, or those who lack understanding of the faith, are prone to stray away from the Church and become lost. You will need to study more. Like I said in my post, go search Dr. Brant Pitre here in UA-cam. His explanations can help a lot. Or you can enroll in an RCIA for inquries (it doesn't mean your converting), no committment in enrolling such. I will pray for you.
Thank you so much! And thank you for the recommendations!
@@zenvirgil
Yeah, sorry. I was referring to the video. But, it seems as you claim how? How did you come to that conclusion? Also, you just described virtually every Catholic I've ever met! Though most a well catechized and do know what answers to parrot. But if you ask specific questions as I have in the above comment, I always get responses like yours and am directed to look elsewhere rather than given any kind of answers from those who profess to believe themselves. (1 Peter 3:15-16?) I mean, isn't the question of "What is the Gospel..." the single most fundamental question there is? What is the answer to that question?
@@protestant2catholic243
in case you did not read it, I will repeat my question to you: What is the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to the Roman Catholic Church? "...what must I do, that I may be saved?"
A wonderful Catholic Bible Study I recommend is Deacon Dallas St Teresa Catholic Church Albany Georgia.
I love that... Let's fix this, let's not split apart! I agree!
Yes. Welcome home. May God's grace remain your portion and your cup! Amen. Cradle Catholic but I love to take in conversion stories. ...more oil for my lamp.
Thank you so much!!
@Protestant2Catholic, welcome to The Church👏👍🙏 The Virgin Mary will ALWAYS lead you closer to Jesus, our Lord.! Your meeting that Catholic family and you “noticing” the picture of the Virgin Mother was NO COINCIDENCE! I am so happy for you! I hope that your desire to learn more about the Catholic Faith will forever be ingrained in your heart and soul because there is soooo much history in the Catholic Church. I love listening to Catholic conversion stories because there is this tremendous ache in my heart that keeps me so sad when I think about it because my 2 kids have turned their backs on the One True Church. Your story confirmed what I learned through Catholic conversion stories that most Protestants or non-denominational converts to Catholicism read many books, some in the hundreds (I heard of one who read more than 1000 books), and researched through Christian history and now, in your case, through pod casts, before they converted to Catholicism while most ex-Catholics converted to Protestantism or non-denomination churches because they did not have good understanding of the Catholic Church’s teachings. Again, welcome to The Church and God bless you always🙏❤️🙏
Praise Father,son and Holy Spirit ❤️👍🏻
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
God bless you your testimony help many people 🕊✝️🤍🕊✝️🤍🕊✝️🤍
Hey! Oh wow thank you so much for sharing your story! It was super interesting! Personally, I'm not Catholic yet, but I highly consider Catholicism.
I was raised in a "lookwarm" orthdox family and God has always been my best friend:) 2 years ago He revealed Himself to me through the Bible and I gave my life to Christ. I considered myself a non-denominational Christian and started attending lutheran church. After watching a lot of videos on UA-cam (Trent Horn, father Mike schmitz etc.) and listening to many debates, I think that Catholicisim might be true.
At first, I believed that they weren't even Christians at all, because they don't believe they ARE saved. After seeing some of Cameron B's content, I was so afraid that my relationship with God was based on a lie, that I didn't have any right to read and interpret the Bible on my own, let alone be sure of salvation. Actually, I went through a time of depression, but thanks to God it's now getting better and I'm not afraid of Catholicism being true anymore..
My main issue though is still salvation.
Could you please sum up the Catholic understanding of the Gospel? Is there assurance of salvation? Or only "assurance of purgatory"?
I know that mortal sin can lead one to hell, if this sin isn't confessed, but then I wonder.. why would a true christian/Catholic want to commit it?
Hope you can help me out:)
Greetings from Germany:)
Violetta, those are really good questions! I am interested to partially address them while you are waiting for a reply from the Protestant2Catholic. I'm a cradle Catholic fortunate to be well formed in the the content of the Faith. These won't be complete answers, but they are true pointers. Maybe they will help. 1) Assurance of Salvation: Believers can be sure of God's salvation, just as we can be sure of everything He is and does. He has saved us, as in, He has given us the gift of salvation, all we need to be saved. What remains is for us to open and use--live out--His gift. This is why St. Paul can say, "work out your own salvation in fear and trembling." What God does is certain: what mankind does takes place in the realm of free will and original sin as well as in the realm of Grace. 2) You say "mortal sin can lead one to hell, if this sin isn't confessed, but then I wonder.. why would a true christian/Catholic want to commit it?" My answer: How can man commit any sin? What is sin? Well, we only are responsible for a wrong we do IF a) we do it with full knowledge of what we are doing and b) we fully consent to the action with our free wills. (So for example, accidental manslaughter, say hitting/killing a pedestrian while you are out driving drunk, is correctly not punished in human law as harshly as we punish first degree murder, because while the objective content is present--an innocent life was taken in both cases--in the latter case it was done with neither full knowledge nor full consent. Another example is when a child of four pushes a child of two out the window. Not only is this not murder, it is not even called manslaughter, but rather an accident, because the child has no ability to understand, let only fully understand, what she is doing, so knowledge is lacking--nevermind full consent. ) So sin is doing something objectively wrong, with full consent and full knowledge. But how on earth can we sin if we know an action is false and feel it is repulsive? Well, man is built such that he always chooses something under the aspect of it being somehow "good." We never say, "I want this because it is bad." It is always, "Because it is good, somehow." I want to commit adultery not because it is a wicked thing to do, but because it seems so good to do--how can something that feels so right be wrong! Every sin is chosen in the knowledge it is wrong but in the simultaneous conviction that it is right. Our minds can be clouded. Now, we could be saved from our vulnerable intellects if our wills were set on loving what is good: but our wills are also bent and have a taste for bad just as our minds accept lies as truth--ever since our Father and Mother left us the infection of original sin along with our humanity. How is it possible for man to sin? It is possible because we can accept two contradictories at the same time--e.g., we know the adultery is a lie but we "think" of it as a great and shining truth, as we shut our minds to the thought of the betrayals and lies ahead. We simultaneously feel the guilt of sluttishness and self-centeredness and the pleasure of love. And what is mental incapacity but both accepting and rejecting the same thing at the same time and in the same respect? The Principle of Non Contradiction is the bedrock of rationality: without it there is no logic, no ability to reason. If I think I am a cat, yet I read books/laugh at jokes (these states contradict each other), I'm probably under psychiatric care--and any crime I commit while laboring under my delusion I will not be held responsible for--because in an important area I cannot understand and so cannot fully consent. So my answer is that is possible for man to sin because it is possible for man to freely see and freely choose to enter into a self-contradictory state. It is possible for me to live a contradiction: to behave, in this area or in this instance, insanely. And that state is the state of sin. This is a huge area of thought, and I don't know if this was of interest to you, but for what it is worth! In Him Who is the Sanity and the Answer and the Word and Love Itself, Jesus Christ Our Lord.
Among other things, (1) there 15 Promises Our Lady gave for praying the Most Holy Rosary (Tradition: She only gave to St. Dominic 15 Mysteries (5 Joyful; 5 Sorrowful and 5 Glorious Mysteries).
Her No. 15 Promise : Devotion to My Rosary is a great sign of predestination.
(2). The twelve (12) Promises of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to Saint Margaret Mary of Alacoque.
The no. 12 I promise thee in the excessive mercy of My Heart that My all-powerful love will grant to all those who communicate on the First Friday in the nine consecutive months the grace of final penitence; they shall not die in My disgrace nor without receiving the Sacraments; My Divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment. (This has been tested and proven. The last ones were 2 brothers of my friends. And the Priests sent by Our Lord Jesus Christ were all Traditional Latin Rites Priest because most of the NOVUS ORDO PRIESTS DO NOT BELIEVE ANYMORE IN THE LAST RITES THE LAST SEVEN OF THE SACRAMENTS OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.
(3). The First 5 Saturdays of the Month given by Our Lady at the Apparition of Fatima.

(4). Wear Brown Scapular of Our Lady. You can find it on-line.
Some Catholics are not well-versed in the Holy Bible because some Catholics have no money to own one but basically they know their Catholic faith to save themselves. One doesn't need to read the Bible to pray the Holy Rosary. One doesn't need to read the Bible on how to go to Confession. One doesn't need to read the Bible on how to pray the Stations of the Cross of Mary Most Holy because Tradition says she was the First to do that and so on and so forth. I hope you understand what I mean because the Holy Bible only came second to Sacred Traditions or oral Traditions.
Pray to the Mother of God. Only a mother knows her Son.
Deo Optimo et Maximo.
Awesome story, thank you for sharing! Congratulations and welcome to Christ's Church ✝
Thank you!!
Welcome Home, brother! May Jesus, Mary, Joseph and all Angels & Saints be with you always. All the Treasures of the Church are in the Catholic Church. You remind me somehow of a young Padre Pio (because of your beard maybe) that’s why I clicked the video. I’m from Asia and today is Padre Pio’s feast day in our time zone. Through his intercession, May he bless and protect you always. You’ll be in my prayers always.
Thank you so much for your kind words and prayers!!
Thank you so much for your kind words and prayers!!
Protestant converts to Catholicism are gifts to the Church. God bless you. Praying for our Protestant brothers and sisters to take the next step to Full conversion. Thank you for sharing your conversion story. I am a cradle Catholic but I had a full conversion this year. I cry because I now realise the treasure that we have in the Catholic Church. Salvation is in the Catholic Church. ❤
I am heading to Mt annual silent retreat tomorrow. I will pray for you.
Thank you!
Love your testimony! Prayers for you and all people out there trying to finding their way in the Church.
Matthew 16:18 “And I say also unto thee, Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” Jesus pronounced a blessing upon Peter and proclaimed Peter's answer as having been derived by divine inspiration. Peter the Apostle, Peter the Rock, Simon Peter, Simeon, Simon, or Cephas, was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ, and one of the first leaders of the early Church. He is traditionally counted as the first bishop of Rome, or now we called the Pope. His successor, Saint Linus (d. c. 67 - 80) was the second bishop of Rome, succeeding the first "pope," Saint Peter, after Peter's martyrdom, and the successions. goes down from the different Popes. The Catholic underwent from different scandals and intrigues, still she is the only one true holy and Apostolic Church. Welcome home. God bless you.
So true!! Thank you so much
@@protestant2catholic243 Fr. Don Calloway's conversion stories got me hooked watching stories like yours and now I came across your channel. Hope you'll have devotion to the Blessed Mother and pls pray the Rosary. New subscriber from the Philippines. God bless.
@@ring0628-rfo thank you so much for your support! I love the Rosary!
@@perazdera2827 the only deception is the false sola scriptura doctrine, a doctrine never declared by Jesus, the apostles and the early church. Only the Catholic Church follows Jesus' declaration in MAT 16:18-19. Protestantism and its false sola scriptura doctrine has created 40K+ divided protestant cults and sects and has a 500 year history of false end timers and perverted bibles.
Very interesting. It was that cursed "praise and worship" music which drove me OUT of the protestant church. I hate it so much that I couldn't bear to even show up until I knew they were finished. That left me with a sermon and closing prayers. Talk about empty and nearly worthless. Had it not been for my kids, I simply could not have continued going to church.
For several years I only went to church for the benefit of my girls.
I finally found out the truth about those evil and wicked kathliks. The next week I went to Mass and have only darkened the door of a protestant church a couple times in the last five years. Never to return.
I Have a "from Baptist to Biblicist".
Walking away from the church and studying the Scriptures deeply.
I was raised Baptist. Became atheist when I was around 14. Then over time I started to dabble in paganism and Satanism. I've fully converted to Christianity maybe 5-6 months ago. Now I'm going through RCIA
*R Catholicism has nothing to do with God and His Words. R Catholic Church contradicts Scriptures in every possible ways!*
1. Catholics say Mary was sinless. But BIBLE says Mary offered a sinner's offering. She was a sinner. Bible says Mary needed a Saviour. Lk 2:23-24, Lev 12:6-8, Rom 3:10.
2. Catholics say clergies must be celibate. Yet BIBLE says Peter (supposed R Church first leader) had mother in law. Bible says celibacy is not a qualification for clergies. Mat 8:14-15, Mar 1:30-31, Luk 4:38-39.
3. Catholics say Mary was forever virgin. Yet BIBLE says Jesus had brothers and sisters. Mary was not perpetually virgin. Mk 6:3, Mat 13:55, Mat 27:56, Mar 6:3, Mar 15:40, Mar 15:47.
4. Catholics say confess to R priests in a box. BIBLE says nothing about confessing to priests in a box. Bible says confess to GOD only. 1 John 1:9, Mat 6, Romans 10:9-10.
5. Catholics say drink of the literal blood of Jesus. Yet OT and NT both say do not drink blood. Acts 15, Lev 7:26.
6. Catholics say pray to passed on Mary and "saints". Yet BIBLE says do not contact the dead. NT Church did not record a single case of NT believers asking passed on saints to pray for them. Deut 18:11, Isaiah 8:19.
7. Catholics make and bow down to statues. BIBLE says do not bow down to graven images (statues). Deut 4, Exo 20:4-5.
8. Catholics sprinkles “holy water”. But NT Church of the Bible mentioned nothing about “holy water”. There was no record of any Apostles sprinkling “holy water” on believers. Catholics claimed “holy water” came from OT. Yet Num 5:17 says “holy water” was water used to test adulterous women in OT temple. Hardly the same. Those were for Old Covenant Jews. Not New Testament Christians.
9. Catholics say Peter was pope - bishop of all bishops. Yet BIBLE says Peter was just a leader of the Jerusalem Church. Bible says nothing of the office of bishop of bishops. Gal 2:9, Mat 16:18.
10. Catholics say there is a seat of Peter. Yet BIBLE says nothing about it. Jesus said “not to lord over others”.
11. Catholics has clergy priesthood. Bible says clergy priesthood was done away with in New Testament. There is no clergy priesthood in NT. Heb 7:27, 9:12, 10:10.
12. Catholics preaches Works Salvation (faith + good works + partake R sacraments + submit to R pontiff + be in R Church + devote to Mary = to be saved). Yet Bible says “believe in Jesus to be saved”. Bible says Works Salvation is cursed. Gal 1:8-9. Acts 16:30-31, John 3:16, Romans 10:9-10.
13. Catholics says they must do Penance to atone for their sins. Yet Bible says repent, confess and sins will be forgiven. Catholic Bible changes the word “repentance” in NT into “penance”. Original Greek NT does not use or mean the word penance. Penance = work to atone for sins. Repentance = change of heart. 1 John 1:9, Mat 6.
14. Catholics say Mary went straight to heaven without dying. Yet Bible says nothing about it.
15. Catholics say Islam and Christianity have the same GOD. Yet Islam doesn't believe in death and resurrection of Jesus and Trinity.
*Steer clear of R Catholicism. Rev 17-18 speaks of R Catholicism as the Apostate Church (Counterfeit Church)*
*Rev 17 speaks of R Church as the Apostate Church*
Check out this description from the Bible that fits R Church perfectly:
R Church, Rome (woman) ( city that sits on 7 hills)
Beast (spirit of Anti-Christ)
Woman on a scarlet beast : R Church and Rome which ride on the spirit of Anti X.
1. Roman priests love to wear scarlet and purple. Rev 17:4.
2. R Church loves to use golden cups. Rev 17:4.
3. R Church persecuted the real Christians (saints) in history from Roman times till modern days. Verse 17:6.
4. Seven mountains where the woman sits. Rome was called the city on 7 hills. Rev 17:9
THat's basically talking about R Church
5. R Church sits on peoples, multitudes, nations and tongues. Rev 17:15
6. Only R Church reigned over kings. Rev 17:18
7. Kings have whoredom with her. Rev 18:3
*Rev 18 R Church the Apostate Church*
Woman on the scarlet beast: R Church
Babylon: Rome
Beast: spirit of Anti-X
1. vs 2 . Corr Rome/R Church has become a place for snomed (worshipping of queen of heaven Asheroth and others) and every f spirit.
2. vs 3. R Church had always been in collusive relationship with Kings of the earth, and had become rich through its corruption and greed.
3. vs 9. R Church used to ordain Kings . Kings used the power of R Church to conquer masses through control, and will lament its destruction.
4. vs 11-15. merchants who colluded with R Church would lament the loss of trade with R Church.
5. vs 20. Rome persecuted the Apostles of NT and prophets of old.
6. vs24. R Church who persecuted true Christians was found with the blood of prophet and saints

Praying for you and your journey....(Just in case other readers don't understand, The Church I refer to is the Roman Catholic Church.) God bless you and your family.
Thank you so much! I appreciate your encouragement!
Thanks for sharing your story! God bless you
Yes I loved going to the mass in Catholic Church every Sunday just to be with Jesus on his lord day where everyone should met him and celebrate it once a week
Continued blessings❤️🙏

God bless you.These are very difficult days for the Catholic Church.I hope they soon pass.☺️Ryan
I discovered that there’s a lot of Providence in the Catholic faith. In Catholicism, the Truth is always searched. There’s always an explanation for everything that we do and why we do them.
Welcome home. God bless you now and forever
Thank you!!
I was once in a crazy Baptist sect. (3 years) now I am a Roman Catholic Christian ( 7 years)
because I have found The True Church of Jesus.
When I was still a Baptist Christian , I Believe in Protestant teaching to hate Catholicism, I initially hated Roman Catholicism. and against the Pope because Protestant books taught me that, but over time, I wondered why Protestants hate Catholicism, so I began to study Catholicism from reading catholic catechism books , Join Roman Catholic Missal every sunday. and went to talk with Catholic Priest, until finally I found out the truth and understood the truth , and I converted to a Roman Catholic Christian. I felt like I had returned to my true home. Filled with love, warmth and kindness.
p.s. I love Latin Catholic Rite and Byzantine Catholic rite
p.s. 2 I not convert to eastern orthodox because I can't let go of loyalty To the successor of Saint Peter (Pope)
p.s. 3 Roman Catholic Church are rich in spiritual legacy and ritual heritage
p.s. 4 I am Thai Roman Catholic Christian
Amazing!
GOD BLESS YOU 🙏🏽
