A personal, saving relationship with Jesus Christ?" You would be mistaken if you thought Catholics did not have this. The Biblical Plan of Salvation IS the same as the Catholic Plan of Salvation - 1) Repent of your sins, 2) Believe in Him, 3) Receive Christ in Baptism, 4) Remain in Christ until death. Catholics believe 100% in Ephesians 2:8-9 in that Salvation is a FREE gift and Ephesians 2:10 in that it will produce fruit if we live Godly lives. May I say, it deeply saddens me when I see calm, nodding and smiling Protestants being so arrogant and condescending towards a group of fellow Christians who believe wholeheartedly in the life, death and resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ and his redemptive work on the cross.

I am a Practicing Catholic at Burwood ,Sydney . Rachel can contact me ( Geraldine ) by email - I would like to dialogue about the misconceptions relating to Catholic Teaching & Practices . The Statements made that the Teachings & Practices are not Biblical is misguided & further deeper study should be done . Will wait for your Meeting Time with Rachel . God Bless .
At 12.35 - "Jesus is close by His Spirit", In saying that you have ceased to be a Christian - you have merged TWO Persons of the Holy Trinity into ONE!
What about Catholic Charismatics? There was some chatter back in the day (2000s - early 2010s) that they were pretty much evangelical, compared to those of the original high church.
Forget trying to convert Catholics to evangelical anglicanism. Convert the church of england and significant portions of Australian Anglicans ie Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide etc. Especially among young priests and laity many more faithful bible believing young catholics than anglicans, especially outside Sydney. Fix anglicanism first. Punching at teachings and doctrines of one of the few other bible believing churches on paper very bad idea Dominic.
@@verbumdeikjb The Catholic Church is closer to the truth than the entire protestant movement being that they are older following the bible AND Church tradition traced all the way to the early church. The reason why there are a thousand and one denominations is that there is no church tradition to lean on for proper interpretation of the Bible hence the ever-increasing SUBJECTIVE interpretations and misunderstandings of the Bible. The true church is the Othordox Church. The biblical understandings and church traditions remain unchanged since the early church. What does the Bible say, what do the church fathers say? That is the most important approach when confronted with moral and ethical issues.
And "serious evangelicals (who) become Catholics" as a "half-way" point, and then complete their journey to Slavic Orthodoxy - which is even older in its pedigree than both Rome and Protestantism.
Hearing someone spout “Christ alone, faith alone, grace alone, scripture alone” and criticise the Catholic Church for multiple commitments is hilarious
Thanks Leonardo for your insights relating to the use of the Gospel of Matthew
Thank the Lord for you three. Very good questions brought up, and very good answers given. Praiye the Lord. Peter from Singapore!
An excellent interview. An essential topic & need that evangelical need to hear & consider. Thanks Domenic, Leonardo and of course Rachel
Thank you for this informative chat
Some lovely words and suggestions. Thank you so much. Mary saying Do what he says . The pick and choose selection is so very dangerous
Thanks Leo and Rachel! ... a topic close to many pastor's hearts.
Absolutely brilliant. Well done, Stewart

Doesn't the alpha course promote Catholic church as a possible option when people come to Christ?
Possibly it does

Is the Catholic Church really Bible believing?

slack Catholics become evangelicals, serious evangelicals become Catholics

@@marybattye7730 you may be right, but orthodox Christian churches tend to be regional and not found in most parts of the world
