But, more to the point. You are certainly true to Rome to say that I “chose Sorteriology (sic) prior to Eccelesiology in their (my) search for the Truth”. You write this because Rome teaches that unless you are a member of the RCC (ecclesiology) you cannot be saved (soteriology). This is completely foreign to Scripture. Scripture does not teach, “Join the church to be saved” but “Be saved and you will automatically become a member of the true Church.” Because the RCC has departed from Biblical soteriology, my ecclesiology is rightly and drastically impacted–I cannot be part of an ecclesiastical body that claims it is the sole source of salvation. especially when they add to what the Scriptures require for salvation.

I invite you to come out of the false system of Rome and embrace the Christ of Scripture.

It is sad that you were born during a difficult time when the church was allowed it’s teaching and moral leadership to decline especially in the USA.

It seems natural for the individual in this era particularly in this country which places individual license (as oppose to liberty) to chose Sorteriology prior to Eccelesiology in their search for the Truth.

It’s interesting because I just wrote a piece on this the other day on my blog http://quickbeamoffangorn.wordpress.com/2008/01/12/congreg

I am certainly glad that their are protestants concerned for the salvation of Catholics. Many of us in the Catholic church share that same concern for them as well as those in Protestant church.

Given that my wife is a baptist, I understand that pretty well.
