Bible Note: arrow1. "1)Catholics adhere to baptismal regeneration 2)Evangelicals have the sinners prayer and faith alone 3)and then there is adult repentance and baptism into Christ." Actually Catholics believe in all of the above except "faith alone." We have lots of sinners prayers, adult repentence and baptism. The reason we believe in baptismal regeneration is because we believe we are baptized into Christ who "renews all things." Emmaus |
