@theirish_mafia@C2Antiquity@GodLogic_GL They need the true Christ, the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity. But GodLogic is a Trinitarian. So what's the matter?
@matheuscruz21@ChristandGuitar https://t.co/R1XxD701fB can I suggest this small book? I've recently read it, it has help me a lot to understand the theology of the Sacraments and the Early Church duty to actually defend a lot of things that today we take it from granted.
@NervousWinter@rickbrennanjr The Church has settled the matter universally, following Holy Tradition and the Bible, and the Orthodox agrees.
Protestants can’t, because they follow man‑made traditions that contradict each other even on salvation issues
@NervousWinter@rickbrennanjr Meanwhile your side doesn’t even have a universal rule: some Protestants baptize infants, some forbid it, some say it’s valid, some say it’s pointless.
If you can’t agree on what baptism is, you can’t claim continuity with Paul’s "ONE baptism".
@matheuscruz21@ChristandGuitar And this cannot be the way the Lord set things up, since He desires all to be saved and we cannot rely only on extraordinary exceptions.
@matheuscruz21@ChristandGuitar We fully agree on the Trinitarian baptism, Christ commanded it clearly.
My point is simply that Jesus didn’t leave this matter open, while Sola Scriptura inevitably creates ambiguity about when salvation actually occurs.
@matheuscruz21@ChristandGuitar But you cannot build your theology on what is extraordinary while rejecting what God Himself established as the ordinary means of salvation.
If you ignore the way God chose to act through His Church, you’re not actually following God, you’re following your own exceptions.
@matheuscruz21@ChristandGuitar Of course God can save a baby who dies post partum or a dying person who hears the Gospel at the last moment.
The Church explicitly teaches that God is not bound by the Sacraments.
@matheuscruz21@ChristandGuitar No. The problem is that protestantism cannot give an universal answer even on a Salvation issue. "Am I saved if I'm not baptize? With water or not?" Protestants cannot universally answer that. And it is serious stuff. This is not from the Lord, who wants everyone to be saved.
