Subject: What separates Evangelicals, Catholics? |
Bible Note: Oh yeah, I remember my grandmother constantly praying for me to come back to the church. Never mind that I got saved and was trying to talk her into accepting Jesus as her Savior. None of them would listen, just kept saying I should come back to the church. About 7 yrs ago, I joined a Baptist church here. Mama started going with me, she'd go to her RCC church, then come home in time to leave to go to mine. I think that's when she started seeing the difference. She saw that we preached on Jesus and the Bible, where her church just talked. She said the clincher was that she was in the seniors group and they were always either going to FL to buy lottery tickets or going to Biloxi to the casinos. She said she told father that they shouldn't always be going to gambling places and he said why not, we're gambling on getting to heaven too. She said she thought if you don't know where you're going, why should I stay here and she left, joined my church, got baptized. She was a die-hard Catholic too, the one that forced it all on us. Praise God I know she's saved anyway! My older brother and his family are too but not my sister or younger brother. I'm glad I found this forum, you seem to be a regular source of info here-good job! |
