Bible Question: Let me ask you something that has my curiosity. What does the Catholic church teach on God's plan of salvation? |
Bible Answer: Having never been a Catholic, I don't claim to be an expert on what Catholic's teach, I will tell you what I heard the priest, I guess they call him "father" say to a young couple who were getting married by him. He told them that "since they were both baptized by the Catholic church, then they can rest assured that they will go to Heaven when this life is over" Sounds like a works based salvation that the priest was referring to if you ask me. And we know it is by grace we are saved, not by works (Eph. 2:8-9) I believe baptism is for those who have already been saved. I don't it is appropriate to baptize the unsaved. By that I mean, I don't believe that baptizing the unregenerate person has any effect toward salvation. Salvation is by grace through faith. Thats my two cents worth. God Bless |
