The Bible is Gods word Do not add to or take away from it. Read it with a childlike fascination and allow the Holy Spirit to guide you. I find our differences a little troubling to be honest.
We cannot earn our way to heaven, it's not possible, we all fall short of the glory of God. I believe you would agree with that. Then why are we all so concerned with what we are doing at our church buildings. The Lord has simplified it to the point that even I can figure it out, thank GOD. Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior and BAM, your in! Don't belong to a denomination with rules and rituals, it don't work that way. It's almost to easy! The only way to "get right with GOD" is to accept Jesus. I say these things politely and with LOVE bro! I don't mind being corrected so thats cool too.
@Russell Gordon That's the usual canned response from a Protestant, so here's my usual canned response back: You do understand that the Bible is a collection of books, and is MUCH more than a few particular verses, yes? Saying all you need to do is "accept Jesus" to be saved is like saying all you have to do to stay alive is "think about food." No... you have to prepare food, serve it, eat it, and do that all over again every day, and you have to drink water, and you have to sleep, and you have to exercise, etc, etc... Likewise, salvation is MUCH more than "accepting" or saying you believe. In fact, do you have ANY idea what that word, "believe," entails? It's an ACTION, and it's continuous. After all, the Bible ALSO says, "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven." (Matt 7:21) Also, Jesus tells us in Luke 6:46, "Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord,' and not do what I tell you?" This is Jesus telling us that "believe" is an ACTION, not just empty words. Let me illustrate with a little story about what "believe" really means... There was a man who could walk across a tightrope over the Grand Canyon, and he had gathered a huge crowd to watch the spectacle. He asked the crowd, "Who believes I can walk across this tightrope over the Grand Canyon?" and the crowd cheered, "YES! We do!" And the man walked across. Then, the man asked, "Who believes I can walk across BLINDFOLDED?" And the crowd even more loudly cheered, "YES! WE DO!" And the man walked across blindfolded. Finally, the man asked, "Who believes I can walk across this tightrope blindfolded while carrying a volunteer on my back?" And the crowd even more loudly still, screamed, "YES!!! WE DO!!!!" And so the man said, "Great! Can I have a volunteer, please?" And the crowd was silent. You see, believing something is MORE than just "saying" you believe. It's actually DOING something with trust and willingness. When you say, "accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior," that's fine, but you ALSO need to DO everything that Jesus told you to do, which is FAR more than going around touting 2-3 Bible verses and saying, "BAM! you're in." This isn't a book club where you just sign a little piece of paper and enjoy the free cookies and punch. You have to be baptized, you have to teach and learn, you have to receive the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ in the Eucharist, and you have to confess your sins and repent, and so on. There is SO much more than "accept... BAM." It's really bothersome when people like yourself think that Jesus didn't establish a Church, and that all we need to do is read the Bible for ourselves and say some magic words, and "BAM" we're in. A Church has rules, it has actions, it has authority, it has Traditions, and it has meaning, all of which Jesus meant for us to be a part. You can't make assumptions about this Church, and then say, "don't join it, you don't need it." That's 100% FALSE and CONTRADICTORY to what Jesus and the Apostles taught and did. Your primary assumption here is in saying, "we cannot earn our way into heaven." Nobody in the Catholic Church believes we can. That's a VERY common misconception of what "works" means, and it's VERY annoying that people like yourself don't actually look into it to understand for themselves. You'd think that people would be curious enough to understand what the OLDEST (and original) Christian Church actually believes, rather than making an assumption. So, after this diatribe, I'm sure you're sick of reading, but I strongly, STRONGLY suggest you look into what you're saying and actually go beyond 2-3 Bible verses. There is a WHOLE LOT more to being a Christian.
When you accept Christ in your heart and ask for forgiveness you are my brother. Many Christians forget we are Christians meaning Christ in us we must separate from doctrines and focus on our relationship with Jesus .
All These Denominations All Disagreeing On Doctrine and Beliefs. When Did God The Father, The Son And Holy Spirit Disagree And Have Different Doctrine? shalom
George Pierson, Is The "Reformation", In The Bible? If It Does Not Line Up With The Bible Or It Is Not In The Bible, God Is Not The Source. God Said, Not To Add To His Word And Not To Subtract From His Word. There Aren't ANY, Denominations In God's Word. Man Is Always Inventing Things Out Of His Sinfulness And Calling It Of God. Shalom
Exactly... The Reformation was an invite to a biblical discussion. The only reason it became a church split is because the Catholics weren't open to discussing scripture together and they had already done a number to the ORIGINAL Christianity. (Pre ROMAN) Blaspheming the very nature of God by giving him attributes of a triune Pagan God is not good. It Literally Knocks the Father out of the Picture and Putting Jesus in His Place - This is BLASPHEMY if you want truth. Blasphemy is when you add attributes to God that are not his; condemning you for getting it wrong? God loves us - we keep learning and moving forward hopefully. We shouldn't let these things divide us by one grudging against the other:Romans 14 is a Great Chapter to Read - It Start Off: Romans 14: 1- Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters. We were told to believe in Jesus but we were also Told ALL PRAISE goes to the Father and Jesus didn't come of his own will, but he came because it was HIS FATHERS Will. ... did he Lie? God Said the Wage of Sin is Death, Did he Lie? God said Death and Hell will be No More - Did He Lie? NO MAN HATH EVER SEEN GOD'S FACE ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- John 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ...but... some is debated about this scripture - the translation - maybe John 1:18 will help - as there is conflict in the same bible chapter, isn't there? You get condemned for this sort of stuff? Nope. But its good to know the truth especially if you think you are justified tearing down others beliefs that are biblical as to condemn them for not agreeing with you. John 1:18 - No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. Moses asked to See YHWH. Why didn't YHWH materialize for him? Exodus 33:20 - And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. And like the original poster said, and Dede Long - about showing the fruits of the spirit with our civility and interactions with other, they are spot on correct. James 4:11 - Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. Luke 7:47 - Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. It's About Love People. It's a Love Story - About our Father Starting a Family, A Son sent Down to us who was perfect and able to be the ransom for us all. Father came through, Jesus Came Through and they are going to continue to pull us through too! Jesus is our brother Folks. Hebrews 2:11 - Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters. We don't have to agree - but when we are both reading the scripture and the spirit is alive in us, this doesn't mean we have everything figured out but we should at a minimum be BETTER than civil. All the condemnation if it persists in our hearts, well... the apostle John warns us to not let our condemnation become the very pit that swallows us Up. Love God, Love Neighbor --Christian Sikh
haha that's what half the denominations claim, some even broke off from a denomination with that claim "we're going back to the church of Acts chapter 2!"
My belief dear friend is that only by the truth of the gospel and a persons response of faith to that truth is the only way that anyone can be born again and become a child of God. Since there is many wrong teachings in the different churches, we find the greatest problem in the churches today, that many "christians" are not genuinely born again. Therefore not all are the children of God. Because there is only One True way to be born again, and the churches have lost this Way due to the many false teachings they have accepted over the years. Yes we must Love others, and so sharing the Truth so that we may save the Lost is the responsibility of those who know it.
"Sugar coated preaching is dangerous to your soul"-(2 Tim 4:3-4) It is better to speak the truth that hurts and then heals, than falsehood that comforts and then kills.
Well done pastor, I appreciated the fact that you gave each denomination their tendencies, but steered us all back to the main lines of our Christian faith.
What I find to be most discouraging is that most individuals simply belong to whatever was the predominant church denomination in whichever European country their ancestors came from, but they never question whether that particular denomination teaches what they, as individual believers, truly believe. For example, most Americans of Polish, Irish, Italian, French, Croatian, Czech, Slovenian and Austrian ancestry are expected to be Roman Catholics. But what if they discover, through individual research, that they actually agree more with the teachings of the Lutheran church or the Methodist church or the Episcopal church or the Presbyterian church or the Baptist church ? Do they convert ? Most do not, because there is an underlying sense of ethnic guilt that you HAVE to belong to a certain denomination simply because your ancestors came from such-and-such country.
you are right sir! cultural religion will continue to blind people, from the Bible belt to the Middle East. yet, many of them do not truly believe even though they perform their weekly rituals. Same as atheists or the unchurched, they all need the light of the gospel to be saved, even if they grew up in a church in the Bible belt.
Or, there are so many denominations its not reasonable to expect people to do such research? Remember there are many many groups across the world. Peace.
Bruce Dressel SURE, side with LUther and Henry VIII against the Desert Fathers, Doctors of the Church, the Majesteriam, a million priests, bishops, popes, consecrated brothers, sisters, martyrs for the faith and a billion strong congregation that kept after countless slaughters by Vikings, Franks, Goths, Visigoths snd Muslims. Where was the Protestant (against the church Jesus Christ founded) st the Battle of Lepanto, or the first or second Battle of Vienna? IT IS THE ROMAN CATHOLIC FAITH THAT HAS PULLED US THROUGH. Please reflect on on how you were taught to hate the Catholic Church. It’s a learned behavior. For me “extra ecclesiam nulla salus.” No salvation outside the church. Prayer: Soul of Christ, sanctify me Body of Christ, save me Blood of Christ, inebriate me Water from Christ's side, wash me Passion of Christ, strengthen me O good Jesus, hear me Within Thy wounds hide me Suffer me not to be separated from Thee From the malicious enemy defend me In the hour of my death call me And bid me come unto Thee That I may praise Thee with Thy saints and with Thy angels Forever and ever Amen
I have belonged to a few different denominations. When I was a little boy I went to a southern Baptist church with my grandmother. In my early teens, I joined the Roman Catholic Church. When they changed the liturgy with Vatican 2, I became disillusioned. How could the unchanging doctrine abandon all tradition? So I stopped going to Mass and became indifferent to church. I attended the Episcopalian church but never joined. I went to pentecostal churches and found it to be rather strange. I then went to a Baptist church and thought the worship style was lively and often fun. But they were too judgemental and conservative for me. But, at last, I walked into a Presbyterian Church (USA) I was warmly welcomed, and I liked the pastor and the people. I loved the liturgy and the music. There was a definite feeling of connection with the tradition, simplified. The old church calendar is used, along with the liturgical colors changing with the seasons. I had found a spiritual home. So here I am, years later, a proud and active member of the Presbyterian Church USA
thank you for your testimonial. I personally don't like the liberal stance of the PCUSA, but it's not about the denomination, but about connecting with God through Jesus Christ, in a saving relationship. I hope you keep growing in the Lord, in the PCUSA
@@Presleysixty it started off biased in the first 30 seconds by the dude stating that LDS and jehovah's witnesses weren't christians which is not true. Hence the reason why i didn't bother watching the video. Just because they have different views on scripture doesn't make them non-christian. And i'm not even part of any of these groups.
@@GrandMastaKiwi Christians are people who follow the teachings of Christ. The denominations are different interpretations of the scripture. Mormons and Jehovah's witnesses do not worship Lord God almighty.
The baptist faith was created 1600 years after the day of Pentecost it was founded by John Smyth I’m Amsterdam Holland. Wrong founder, wrong location & 1600 to late. It’s a false organization pertaining to Christianity. Acts 11:26 they were called Christians first in Antioch not Baptist.
@@coff2x387 But they believe in god and see Jesus as their savior. I don't understand it. I am a new Christian. If I go to a baptist church will I be damned?
JoJo thank you JOJO for your reply. Explain what did you do to become a new Christian? Once you give me an idea of what was ask of you to do or what did they do. I will show you what the scripture saids about salvation.
@@Jesuspaid4oursins Of course not, I've been baptist for 16 years and our main difference is that we believe that a person should choose to be Baptized. So we don't baptize babies
I love this video! Thank you so much. I saw this about three years ago, and it helped me choose the church I attend. I go to the OPC. Glad I could find this video again. God bless you!
so glad you're in the OPC. I'm a Westminster grad with friends in the OPC. but they would see me as too "tolerant" of the other denominations because they often see them as heretics. lol But I believe we have to focus our fight against the real Enemy. In heaven, we can laugh at the Charismatics for their mistakes (yes...they'll be there)
"Romans 12:5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another." "1 Corinthians 12:12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ."
I left a Reformed Church because of the way the Classis and Synod would bully and dictate to the local churches. I just got tired of the way they thought they could control every aspect of your life. I went and joined a Baptist Church and love it. We are autonomous and no one can tell us what to do or to hire for a minister or speak in our church.
We both know there's no perfect church, although there are many false ones. However, I think there are pros and cons to each denomination. And the Reformed are much stronger in theology. So because they know they're usually right (theologically), they tend to be very arrogant. God opposes the proud.
@@pastorjasonanswers They have good theology but they are most unchristian in other aspects. We were a small rural church and it's hard to find ministers but we found an excellent guy who graduated from an independent reformed seminary that one minister in classis didn't like. He hounded the candidate and wouldn't let him be ordained even though he was a sound man. Even the other RCUS ministers said so, but that one guy literally ran our man out of the pulpit so I left. And this wasn't the only time stuff like this happened. I heard from others that it was common practice, cut the new guys down to make them humble.
Thank you! I was raised quasi-Catholic as in we celebrate all the holidays, own rosaries, and have attended every family Communion, Confirmation, and church service for the deceased. But I never knew the true meanings behind these things. All these different protestant denominations confuse the heck out of me. I am learning about Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy and these alone are confusing!
yeah, I have a video on Catholics and also a new one on Orthodoxy. Plus, I'm working on a new video that shows what the denominations have in common. Please subscribe
@Diego Lopez, pls explain more about Pentecostal Christian...I was born Catholic, and I'm considering choosing either Baptist or Pentecostal...did you choose Pentecostal because they singing throughout the service rather than praying?
Well i dont think there is nothing wrong with being a. Baptist in fact they study more the bible than pentecostals and the good thing about pentecostal is that we give more freedom to the holy spirit To move into our life And well i was born in a pentecostal church all i can say is that i had an amazing experience with the holy spirit of God which guides me with everything i do
Yes! I love the way you ended it. I’m non denominational . I believe Jesus died for my sins , I believe in the trinity , and I believe every word in the Bible is God inspired /God breathed . I believe in gifts of the spirit and that salvation can’t be lost ! I’ve heard some denominations believe that if you don’t speak in tongues you’re not saved or you can lose your salvation etc. I don’t agree w/either of those things that is not what Gods word says but, I know we all love Christ and are doing our best follow him. He is the way and truth period. All other ground is sinking sand !
yes I agree! you're a sister in Christ, and I'll see you in heaven. And although some people say that denominations divide, it's actually a good way for Christians to worship together without arguing over the same issues like baptism or tongues again and again. I love my Arminian and Charismatic brothers, but I'm not going to keep arguing about the same issues unless someone says something blatantly against Biblical teachings.
So you think once you’re saved you can’t lose your salvation? Interesting so someone gets saved today and tomorrow they decide they’re gonna steal, lie, rape, murder it’s okay…..no worries! I’m saved
??? There was a falling away, or in other words a Great Apostasy!! Hence the division and conflict amongst Christian denominations. In other words these churches were created by men!!!
I really appreciate this. I grew up as a neo charismatic and now am a reformed Baptist. This was really helpful in seeing the other branches. I still have questions, but this was really good for an 8 minute video.
I dont comment much on youtube but I just have to say: Thank you so much Pastor Jason for taking your precious time in doing this very informative video. God bless you for this. And also thank you for being unbiased when taping this.
How is anybody suppose to know which direction is the right one if the body of Christ itself has no focus whatsoever? Just watching this video builds on the understanding to the viewpoint of non believers.🤦🏾♂️
Mormons are Christians. Because they believe in Jesus Christ. It's also written in thier in the name of thier church. "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints".
Born and raised in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, but I have friends and family born in raised in Baptist Churches. I will tell you this. AME and CME( Christian Methodist Church) don't believe that good works will take you Heaven. You must be born again through Jesus Christ. great post tho..
\Xx_DatMLGMemeBoi_xX / no matter what religion anyone is, if they truely believe in that religion or branch of religion, they should be proud... if not, maybe they need to think about another one!
Its simple. Christianity = Relationship with Jesus Christ. Being able to live under his promises. Redeemed by his blood. Living by his unmerited favor when you fail. Accepting his righteousness as your own. .... All this other stuff is confusing but well intended. As a nonbeliever researching christianity may get overwhelming. Lol. Nice job though. I never knew the differences.
@@justingichohi470 beacuse the bible is confusing and frequently contradictionary. 1st testament is basically about jeuwisch supremacism while the new is about Jesus and Love for all people.
The problem with all these denominations is just that, everyone of them has a doctrine to go along with it. Starting just from the Bible and not having a denominational gathering would be the true church of Christ.
Wow thanks for the video! I'm Catholic and so I really have no idea what Protestants believe. You didn't include us, but that's because Catholics don't consider themselves a denomination, but the original church; there's no 'denominating' or speak of. I'm considering becoming a Lutheran. It's funny that from your Protestant outlook you see them the way that you do, as a Catholic I see them as 'Catholics cutting out the man-made nonsense and doing things the way Jesus intended'! I didn't realize Lutherans were the only ones with a Eucharist. I believe in the Eucharist because when I'm in a chapel I can hear spiritual ringing in my ears, the sign of something extremely holy. It's real!
awakeningspirit20 i agree. Changed from catholic because of the revelation about the Bible. I am grateful but miss the holiness of holy sacrament...go for it. The Bible is life.
Why would any of you leave the catholic church? Why would you want to leave the blessed sacrament? Do you know that Lutherans do not have the valid Eucharist? Why on earth would you forsake and encourage others to forsake our Lord's church?
@@pastorjasonanswers Pastor Jason: The Catholic Church is the original Christian. All Protestant denominations are "protesting" one or more tenants of Catholicism. Only in Catholicism do you have the complete fullness of the faith as Jesus intended. Please stop confusing the issue.
Daniel Verney “And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.” Acts 2:46-47 KJV This is the original church. The body of Christ. It wasn’t called catholic.
Roxanne Arismendez hahaha haha lol. Where are we told in the Bible to pray to dead people? Where are we told to have a priest or pope to forgive our sins? There is no mention of purgatory in original scriptures. I could go on but I will kindly disagree with you. Do I believe I know some Catholic’s that are saved yes, but I do not believe Jesus started the Catholic Church how it is today or has been for centuries. Taking a true look at history, the Roman Catholic Church really didn’t start for several hundred years after Christ rose. The catholic beliefs are so mixed with many of the Pagan beliefs of the Romans....

Why hate agisnt my Christian brothers Johovas Witnesses, Mormons, ect. Yes, we don't follow the Nicene Creed but we do believe in the Bible and we can only be saved though Jesus Christ. The world would be a better place if we stopped burning bridges.
Would you mean the bridge you all had in the past to the one church that Jesus established for your salvation??? That bridge is still open to any who want to return to Jesus.
There's Not One Catholic Mentioned In The Bible, Let Alone "The Catholic Church". There Is Not One Protestant Mentioned In The Bible. There Are Not Any Denominations Mentioned In The Bible. There Is No Such Thing As Pope Mentioned In The Bible. Mary The Mother Of The Man Called Yeshua, Can't Answer Your Prayer Or Intercede For You To Yeshua, Cause The Bible Does Not Mention Or Instruct Believers To Do So. Yeshua Did Not Found A New Religions Called Catholic Or Christianity. "Christ" Is A Title Not A Name. The Origin Of The Name "Jesus" Is Not From The Torah, But, It Is A Translation From The Greek And Latin To Middle English. The Word "Christian" Is Mentioned Only 3 Times In The Bible, And Each Time It Was Mention It Was Derogatory. Yeshua, The Apostles Or Paul, Never Taught About A Catholic Church, A Protestant Church Or A Christian Church. Neither Yeshua, The Apostles Nor Paul Taught All This Silly Catholic, Protestant, Christian Crap, Because It's All Diabolically Man Made. Folks, Get A Bible And Ask The Holy Spirit To Help You Understand And Learn What God Says In His Word. Stop Listening To False Teachers. Shalom
Dorothy Shalom. Jesus established a Church and there is no other entity on Earth which can lay claim to be that Church except the Catholic Church. And you are correct that Protestantism and demoninations have no place in Christianity.
Dorothy Vailes Wow... I haven't seen so much idiocy in one paragraph for a while. Care to be schooled on how just about every point you made is WRONG? Or are you going to be willfully ignorant?
bridgefin, The First Believers Were Not The Catholic Church. The Catholic Church Is The Pagan Church Of Rome. The Catholic Church Doesn't Believe In The Word Of God. It Follows Its Own Evil Pagan Rituals. You Have Been Deceived From Its Idolatrous Teachings. I Was A Catholic For 31 Years, Then, Started Studying The Word Of God For Myself. I Also, Studied The Catholic Catechism, Which Has Documentation Of All Of Its Pagan Rules And What It Teaches And Has Taught Over The Centuries. Again, Yeshua Never Established The Catholic Church. The Catholic Church Is Man Made With The Help Of Satan. When, You Truly Belong To Yeshua He Gives You The Holy Spirit To Lead You Into His Truth. The Holy Spirits Helps Us To Understand His Word. You Have Been Seriously Misinformed. I Pray God Will Reveal His Truth To You. Shalom
Dorothy You claimed: The First Believers Were Not The Catholic Church. Me: Based on what? It is an historical question and ONLY the Catholic Church can be dated to the time of Jesus. Your assertions of paganism, belief, ritual matter not at all to that question. You: I Was A Catholic For 31 Years, Then, Started Studying The Word Of God For Myself. Me: Let me know when you get to the part where scripture claims that scripture is NOT for personal interpretation. I am sorry that you lost your faith.
I'm glad that you added that part at the end about us all going to heaven. When you were talking about the different denominations. I was saying those guys are wrong or my church is different. I was so caught up with being right that I forgot what is truly important. That Jesus is worshipped. Thank you for showing me that side of myself, I didn't realize how arrogant I was.
He mentioned there are different 'versions' of presbyterians. The 'no male elders' was one example. The 'we ordain homosexuals' was another. Pretty sure that leaves plenty of room for 'we have female elders' in between.
Why are Witnesses and Mormons excluded? Do they not believe in the virgin birth, sinless life, and death of Jesus as payment for the sins of believers? I attend a EFCA Church myself however I have friends who are both Mormon and Witnesses, I've had conversations with them. Never heard anything from them that would make me think they don't believe in Christ.
issuu.com/rosepublishing/docs/404x_rose_ccr_preview/3?e=1708736/4862828 ^ that chart explains some of the difference mormons believe that God was once a man who progressed to godhood, and that worthy people who work hard enough can progress to godhood themselves. mormons also deny the authority of scriptures because they have the book of mormon. jehovah's witnesses deny the trinity, and say that Jesus was created (true Christians believe that Jesus was never created but exists outside of time in perfect relationship with the trinity)
cavibird2005 essentially they believe salvation is by works of righteousness or Lord ship salvation, and that contradicts Ephesians 2:8-10. A good analogy to go by is this; Image a friend comes up to you and says hey I heard you know John (and you do) and then that friend starts describing John as a blonde white male with blue eyes and he is always happy, but it turns out the John he is talking about is not the same brown haired brown eyed depressed John you know. You are simply talking about two different people with the same name. That is a big difference between Mormons and JW's VS true Christians. The Jesus'es they have are simply not the same Jesus of the Bible. Study what Later day saints and JW's say about Jesus and compare it to the Jesus of the Bible and you will see the huge differences.
cavibird2005 You are right my friend, Mormons and Jehova Witnesses are Christians too, we can't say they aren't Christians just because their core doctrines don't relate to ours. For example Mormons believe that there is no other name on Earth or in Heaven by which man can be saved but by Jesus Christ alone, and they believe without grace one cannot be saved. Jehova Witnesses do believe Jesus Christ to be from God as in they are two separate beings, that doesn't make you non-Christian. The pastor in the video says "Jesus is the Son of God", that's exactly what both Mormons and Jehova Witnesses believe XD
Kevin D. Najera the core doctrine of any religion is part of what defines and identifies that religion, so yes we can say that mormons/JWs aren't Christians if their core doctrine doesn't line up with Christianity. In fact, it's the main reason why they aren't Christians. what you are suggesting is that even though mormons/JWs believe some things that deny the fundamental doctrine of Christianity, they can still be called Christians just because they have some other beliefs in common with Christianity. If that's true, we might as well say that red is green because they're both colors and up is down because they're both directions.
goJesusandStarcraft What is that "fundamental doctrine of Christianity" that you are talking about? Maybe we should start with that. I still hold strong to defend these religions that are so attacked by people who call themselves Christians but don't act Christ-like :/
I am a Catholic and i am confused if Christianity is part of Catholicism and vice versa or Catholicism is Christianity. To make it clear, we don't worship Mary nor saints :P
@Matthew Tenorio_3200654 You: Praying hail marry is example of “worship” Me: Baloney, the Hail Mary is both recitation of Scripture and a request for another Christian to pray for you. We honor Mary, we absolutely do not worship her. And worship exists in the heart and not in actions. You: praying before them especially Christ’s cross and figure ( even its not actual Christ) is idol worship... Me: You should educate yourself before you speak. You don't know what you are talking about. A statue is a reminder. No one prays to a statue but to the person represented by the statue. You: i am agnostic, but i can defend those who follow the bible rightfully . Me: Not so far. The people who follow the bible rightly are Catholics.
THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY Jesus established one church. Those who attended that church were called Christians in the beginning. To incorporate the universality of Christ's message it named itself the Catholic (universal) church. Some who left that church 500 years ago now call themselves Christian. It loosely means that they follow Christ in some way. These Christians are in the church to the extent that they accept what the Catholic Church teaches. We have much in common. We have too much in disunity.
dinopad10 the number of comments by RCs trying to defend their religion just proves my point... the discussion is futile until RCs come to terms with the false pre suppositions they have about the Church, the gospel and salvation as a whole
Ryan Esau The difference is the Catholic catechism is 864 pages of theology backed up by the apostles the old testament the apostolic fathers the church fathers, testified to by Eucharistic miracles and the 2000 years of being one holy apostolic church and the Protestants like you who don't even fill out a whole three sentences. 48,683 different Protestant denominations are all relative subjective truth. We are not going to change.
Ryan Esau Well, Catholics aka the original Christians, have been criticized attack by every non-catholic denomination or individual since she came into existence at Pentecost around 30ad or 33ad according to historians. The Catholic church was founded on Jesus Christ himself. And his church still exist her today 2000 year's later. Jesus, was not lying when he said the "gates of hell will not prevail against it" we have his promise. You have to remember that church didn't come from the bible the Church came from Jesus Christ himself, the bible came from the Catholic church. It was the Catholic church that decided which chapters and verses we're divinely inspired.
Greetings and blessings from an Anglo-Catholic and now low church Anglican currently worshipping where Christianity is banned in the Middle East. Hallelujah brothers and sisters. Praise the lord!
St. Ignatius became the third bishop of Antioch, succeeding St. Evodius, who was the immediate successor of St. Peter. He heard St. John preach when he was a boy and knew St. Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna. Seven of his letters written to various Christian communities have been preserved. Eventually, he received the martyr's crown as he was thrown to wild beasts in the arena. The Epistle of Ignatius to the Smyrnaeans Chapter 8. Let nothing be done without the bishop See that you all follow the bishop, even as Jesus Christ does the Father, and the presbytery as you would the apostles; and reverence the deacons, as being the institution of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is *the Catholic Church*. It is not lawful without the bishop either to baptize or to celebrate a love-feast; but whatsoever he shall approve of, that is also pleasing to God, so that everything that is done may be secure and valid. www.newadvent.org/fathers/0109.htm
point noted. But Jesus was circumcised when he was 8 days old, and Presbyterians link the tradition of baptism with OT circumcision, as both symbols of the covenant
Roja Thonger Of course Jesus wasn't Baptist, he was Jewish. What about us Catholics who baptise babies? Did not Christ tell his desciples to go, and baptise all in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit? Where in that command did Jesus say, except for the babies? He didn't.

@Messenger Charles Yes Jesus is (NOT was) Jewish, he fulfilled the Law as given through Moses. The problem is the modern rabbinical Judaism is not Jewish, it is based on tradition instead of Scripture.
The Body Of Yeshua (Called The Church), Is Not, A Christian Denomination, It Is Not The Christian Church, It Is Not The Catholic Church, It Is Not The Protestant Church. It Is Not All These Churches Put Together. Nor Is It A Religion, Nor Is It A Building, Nor A Church Organization. It Is, Individuals (People), Born Again In Spirit. It Is, Individuals (People), That, Yeshua Lives In Them And They In Him. The Body Of Yeshua, Is Not Of The Physical, It Is Of The Spirit. The Body Of Yeshua, Is Not, "Traditions, Doctrines And Commandments Of Men". The Body Of Yeshua, Is Individuals (People), Who Love Him And Obey His Commandments, Which Are In His Word, From Genesis Through Revelation. Shalom
Dorothy Vailes " And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. " Matthew 16:18 Which church is Jesus Christ, taking about? There's over 40,000 different protestant churches and with different interpretations of scripture. The holy spirit is not the author of confusion.
MegaSaginaw I think you know what the true church is.. the One Holy Church that Christ Jesus had found. The Pillar of Truth is this Holy Church which still stands today.
When all people will face God He will only look at the human ❤.faith Love and charity in the soul of everyone .not your religion status.Jesus is Lord and Savior of the humanity your body is Temple Church.there will be end times that all churches will only operate under the Law of the sovereigns.
I believe that we all should spend more time worshiping. proverbs 3.5 trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not on our own understanding. And don't judge or say who is or isn't going be in heaven..
You can't be Serious George? When is worshiping MORE bad? When is citing a scripture bad? And when is recommending not Judging bad when Jesus says it himself? You are an accuser without grounds. This is very WOLF LIKE indeed.
he is, and he got told he was blaspheming. To Blaspeme GOD is to change/modify/alter his personality or attributes: LOVE;WISDOM;JUSTICE;POWER The Reformation was a paper of religious topics to discuss then the Catholic Priests took it as treason... People disagreed with People so These people Tried to Start a Dialog to investigate the matters in scripture - POOF - PROTEST-ANTS Born... people not getting along with people which likely Saddens God seeing us act like children...still... in these last days.
What? Water baptism to babies. Then you've forgotten why it's given. Water baptism is offered to people who've understand what good and evil are and are able to distinguish good from evil 😈. Plus, who determine to not sin anymore. How, then, could you give it to babies. More denominations will form by professing biblically erroneous practices
bridgefin Jesus told his 12 Apostles that wherever they preach the gospel they were to mention what happened but Paul when he got saved and went to the Gentiles never mentioned it, it had nothing to do with the Gentiles the body of Christ Church.
bridgefin because Jesus told the 12 apostles that wherever they preach the gospel to make mention of Mary but Paul never said one word to the Gentiles about what she had done.
***** Any religion wouldve had the same impact on your out of control behavior. Do u have proof that if you had turned to the muslims god or jews god it would have turned out differently? Youre probably a white-born westerner whos cone from a christian lineage which is why youve chosen christianity over any other.
That's amazing to hear, I'm so happy for you! :) Jesus and the Holy Spirit can do amazing things for you in your life, all it takes is prayer and faith.
Nah, forget religion, it’s not about religion it’s about having a relationship with God. Forget what’s true or fake just follow the Bible, that’s the true ‘religion.’ Blessings! 🙌🏻❤️
No. The church existed before the Catholics ever existed, and their have always been believers holding biblical doctrine outside of the "Catholic church".
I'm a strong Jehovah's Witness and I know for a FACT that we are Christian and we believe that Jehovah is god, Jesus is his son, and the Bible is truly god's word. Please don't say something without full evidence.
Mets Jehovah's Witnesses are not Christian as they do not believe that Jesus is God. You even corrupt your biblical translation to try to avoid the obvious. You may be very nice people but you would have been cast out of the early Church with the rest of the Arians as heretics.
The difinition of a Christian is somebody who believes Jesus is our lord and savior, and who lives their life by the principles and teachings of Christ. The trinity doctrine is something else entirely. "And he said to them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my father, which is in heaven." Matthew 16:15-17, KJV. Not here to argue, but you can't tell me I'm not a Christian, because I don't believe the exact way you do. I'll take Jesus' word for it. We ARE very nice people, though, you got that right. :)
Mest Jesus claimed to be God but you ignore or discount his claims. How could Jesus have been our savior if he is not God. We needed someone who could satisfy an offense against an infinite God and no one who is not divine is infinite and could handle that mission. I think it is missing the mark to claim to believe in Jesus if you don't believe what he says about himself. He said that "...before Abraham was I AM"....the very name God offered for himself to Moses. Jesus said he could forgive sins. Only God can do that. Jesus said that he and the Father are one. That puts him on equal footing with the Father. I am not here to argue but to pursue truth.
JW is a cult; so are Mormons, 7th Day Adventists and Christian Scientists. None is a Protestant religion. As for Mormonism in particular, see my other posts please. Blessings to you.
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us. 1 John 2:19 ESV I am a Christian & I am a member of a Baptist Church
pastorjasonanswers after being both Presbyterian and baptist which have you concluded to be true? I'm definitely leaning on the baptist side of things. And I thought the reason behind infancy baptism was from a misunderstanding of John 3:5. And baggage from Catholic Church.
Windy with a chance of Sunshine, that is NOT correct. Mormons DO believe that Jesus is divine, that he is the literal son if God and that he is savior and redemer of the world. That basic belief is in common with other Christian denominations. There are other areas in which members of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints (Mormons) believe differently than other Christian denominations, but the divinity of Jesus Christ is not one if them.
SomeRandomWhiteGuy, sorry Mormons don't believe that God had sexual relations with Mary and satan. Not sure where you got the satan part from? Never heard that before. That is a new one. There was a theory espoused by Brigahm Young that that may have occurred with Mary, but that is not Mormon doctrine. We do not believe that.
You are correct. Mormons & JWs deny the Deity of Jesus and the Virgin Birth. Mormons teach that Elohim, their Heavenly Father, had regular, old fashioned Sex with Mary. Mormons & Muslims are very dishonest about their beliefs.
Also the United Pentecostals are a false cult. They deny the Trinity. Whereas the Assemblies of God are an Orthodox Christian Denomination. Orthodox means they believe the Original beliefs of the early church. I was raised Lutheran and became a Luthercostal when I was 17 years old.
No name There are 3 main sections of Christianity: Catholicism, Orthodoxy, Protestantism. The latter people came to the party the morelikely they were to attack those who had preceeded them and claim that they are the only valid "Christians". In Christianity there is one faith which was established by Jesus and that is claimed by Catholics. That puts everyone else in a man-made faith. And they rebel against the idea that they aren't the true faith resulting in rejection of history, or reinterpreteting Scripture to support or allow them to consider themselves the true "Christians." While the Jewish faith is older its purpose was to bring the Messiah into the world. Their responsibility is over according to Christians who believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah. If anything is good about these endless debates it is that our arguments take place in electrons and not on the streets.
Ask Bagels - Sad that most do not study the gospels or put value on the apostles Divine interpretation of Christ from Pentecost the Holy Spirit. To be Christian is to Catholic. Period. All other interpretations are not of the Holy Spirit but of man’s arrogance in thinking his view is correct. Individualism and Ego has inspired interpretations of the bible, the apostles or gospels warned of anyone claiming to know the way to salvation that contradicts what they say in the bible. They warn of those who have divine messages or angels that present with messages that change the original orders of Christ. Know the history or theology and the people who were chosen first by Christ. Then you will know why protestantism is a defiance against the gospels. Its is satan who knows his limits and influences man to be in a falsehood of salvation- to lead astray those that want to be in defiance of Christ’s message established in the origin of Christianity - the Holy Catholic Church-
If Catholic Church was the One, True , Holy and Apostolic Church, why did the Catholic Church church change the original organisation of the church, from Prophets to Pope, Archbishops to Apostles when in the book of Ephesians 4:11-15 states that Apostles and Prophets are foundation of Jesus Christs church. Also the Apostle Paul prophesied about the Apostasy which is known as "The Falling away" in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3.
This is a mess and is practically 100% incorrect. There's only one church btw. It's the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church predates all other "Christian" religions by 1000 years.
James Seary Okay give me the historical facts. Because the facts are the Catholic man made doctrine was created 400 years after Christ. That's a long time to allow all those pagan doctrines to enter like the Catholics have.
Robert Schilling Do you know the exact names and dates of who God used to create the New Testament ? Who made the word bible ? Etc. Do you even know how the Bible came to be exactly ?
James Seary Clearly I know more about the subject because I'm not Catholic. However, I'm here to help you if you'd like. Still waiting for those historical facts that link the Catholic man made doctrines to what the teaches of Paul stated in any of those letters.
How I describe my faith to a non believer is that Christ is our Lord and savour, the denomination is our relationship and the Bible is his love letter. Like siblings we won't always agree with each other but we Are to love one another the way Jesus loves us. Mark 3:24... don't let the devil divide Gods kingdom on earth. God Bless

What's a mainline Protestant denomination that was not covered in this video?
I'm not white?!!
@pastorjasonanswers
hahaha... Direct quote from the gospel of Pryor, eh?
Anglicans!
Do they count? They're kind of an odd one out, like half-catholic in theology.
I’d love to see what you think of my church, which is the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Really enjoyed this video!
Church of the Nazarene, but were basically Methodists.
I just want Jesus.
That's it, just Jesus.

Amen Jesus is most important🙏🙏
The Bible is Gods word Do not add to or take away from it. Read it with a childlike fascination and allow the Holy Spirit to guide you. I find our differences a little troubling to be honest.
We cannot earn our way to heaven, it's not possible, we all fall short of the glory of God. I believe you would agree with that. Then why are we all so concerned with what we are doing at our church buildings. The Lord has simplified it to the point that even I can figure it out, thank GOD. Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior and BAM, your in! Don't belong to a denomination with rules and rituals, it don't work that way. It's almost to easy! The only way to "get right with GOD" is to accept Jesus. I say these things politely and with LOVE bro! I don't mind being corrected so thats cool too.
Russell Gordon
Please show me where the Bible says, "accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and BAM! you're in."
Romans 10:9-13. As for adding to the bible part read Revelation 22:18. Theres way more verses than that but It's a good start.
Hey my friend dinopad 10, I just remembered John 14:6
@Russell Gordon
That's the usual canned response from a Protestant, so here's my usual canned response back:
You do understand that the Bible is a collection of books, and is MUCH more than a few particular verses, yes?
Saying all you need to do is "accept Jesus" to be saved is like saying all you have to do to stay alive is "think about food." No... you have to prepare food, serve it, eat it, and do that all over again every day, and you have to drink water, and you have to sleep, and you have to exercise, etc, etc... Likewise, salvation is MUCH more than "accepting" or saying you believe. In fact, do you have ANY idea what that word, "believe," entails? It's an ACTION, and it's continuous. After all, the Bible ALSO says, "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven." (Matt 7:21) Also, Jesus tells us in Luke 6:46, "Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord,' and not do what I tell you?" This is Jesus telling us that "believe" is an ACTION, not just empty words.
Let me illustrate with a little story about what "believe" really means...
There was a man who could walk across a tightrope over the Grand Canyon, and he had gathered a huge crowd to watch the spectacle. He asked the crowd, "Who believes I can walk across this tightrope over the Grand Canyon?" and the crowd cheered, "YES! We do!" And the man walked across. Then, the man asked, "Who believes I can walk across BLINDFOLDED?" And the crowd even more loudly cheered, "YES! WE DO!" And the man walked across blindfolded. Finally, the man asked, "Who believes I can walk across this tightrope blindfolded while carrying a volunteer on my back?" And the crowd even more loudly still, screamed, "YES!!! WE DO!!!!" And so the man said, "Great! Can I have a volunteer, please?"
And the crowd was silent.
You see, believing something is MORE than just "saying" you believe. It's actually DOING something with trust and willingness. When you say, "accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior," that's fine, but you ALSO need to DO everything that Jesus told you to do, which is FAR more than going around touting 2-3 Bible verses and saying, "BAM! you're in." This isn't a book club where you just sign a little piece of paper and enjoy the free cookies and punch. You have to be baptized, you have to teach and learn, you have to receive the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ in the Eucharist, and you have to confess your sins and repent, and so on. There is SO much more than "accept... BAM."
It's really bothersome when people like yourself think that Jesus didn't establish a Church, and that all we need to do is read the Bible for ourselves and say some magic words, and "BAM" we're in. A Church has rules, it has actions, it has authority, it has Traditions, and it has meaning, all of which Jesus meant for us to be a part. You can't make assumptions about this Church, and then say, "don't join it, you don't need it." That's 100% FALSE and CONTRADICTORY to what Jesus and the Apostles taught and did.
Your primary assumption here is in saying, "we cannot earn our way into heaven." Nobody in the Catholic Church believes we can. That's a VERY common misconception of what "works" means, and it's VERY annoying that people like yourself don't actually look into it to understand for themselves. You'd think that people would be curious enough to understand what the OLDEST (and original) Christian Church actually believes, rather than making an assumption.
So, after this diatribe, I'm sure you're sick of reading, but I strongly, STRONGLY suggest you look into what you're saying and actually go beyond 2-3 Bible verses. There is a WHOLE LOT more to being a Christian.
When you accept Christ in your heart and ask for forgiveness you are my brother. Many Christians forget we are Christians meaning Christ in us we must separate from doctrines and focus on our relationship with Jesus .
I am from the reformed Church, but in my perspective, it's a different separate branch of Calvinism.
Well said.
All These Denominations All Disagreeing On Doctrine and Beliefs. When Did God The Father, The Son And Holy Spirit Disagree And Have Different Doctrine? shalom
You just blasphemed the Reformation. Repent!
George Pierson, Is The "Reformation", In The Bible? If It Does Not Line Up With The Bible Or It Is Not In The Bible, God Is Not The Source. God Said, Not To Add To His Word And Not To Subtract From His Word. There Aren't ANY, Denominations In God's Word. Man Is Always Inventing Things Out Of His Sinfulness And Calling It Of God. Shalom
Exactly... The Reformation was an invite to a biblical discussion. The only reason it became a church split is because the Catholics weren't open to discussing scripture together and they had already done a number to the ORIGINAL Christianity. (Pre ROMAN)
Blaspheming the very nature of God by giving him attributes of a triune Pagan God is not good. It Literally Knocks the Father out of the Picture and Putting Jesus in His Place - This is BLASPHEMY if you want truth. Blasphemy is when you add attributes to God that are not his; condemning you for getting it wrong? God loves us - we keep learning and moving forward hopefully.
We shouldn't let these things divide us by one grudging against the other:Romans 14 is a Great Chapter to Read - It Start Off:
Romans 14: 1- Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters.
We were told to believe in Jesus but we were also Told ALL PRAISE goes to the Father and Jesus didn't come of his own will, but he came because it was HIS FATHERS Will. ... did he Lie? God Said the Wage of Sin is Death, Did he Lie? God said Death and Hell will be No More - Did He Lie?
NO MAN HATH EVER SEEN GOD'S FACE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
John 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
...but... some is debated about this scripture - the translation - maybe John 1:18 will help - as there is conflict in the same bible chapter, isn't there? You get condemned for this sort of stuff? Nope. But its good to know the truth especially if you think you are justified tearing down others beliefs that are biblical as to condemn them for not agreeing with you.
John 1:18 - No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he
hath declared him.
Moses asked to See YHWH. Why didn't YHWH materialize for him?
Exodus 33:20 - And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
And like the original poster said, and Dede Long - about showing the fruits of the spirit with our civility and interactions with other, they are spot on correct.
James 4:11 - Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
Luke 7:47 - Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
It's About Love People. It's a Love Story - About our Father Starting a Family, A Son sent Down to us who was perfect and able to be the ransom for us all. Father came through, Jesus Came Through and they are going to continue to pull us through too!
Jesus is our brother Folks.
Hebrews 2:11 - Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.
We don't have to agree - but when we are both reading the scripture and the spirit is alive in us, this doesn't mean we have everything figured out but we should at a minimum be BETTER than civil. All the condemnation if it persists in our hearts, well... the apostle John warns us to not let our condemnation become the very pit that swallows us Up.

love without the law isn't love. Jesus said if you love me you will keep my Commandments. -New Testament
My belief dear friend is that only by the truth of the gospel and a persons response of faith to that truth is the only way that anyone can be born again and become a child of God. Since there is many wrong teachings in the different churches, we find the greatest problem in the churches today, that many "christians" are not genuinely born again. Therefore not all are the children of God. Because there is only One True way to be born again, and the churches have lost this Way due to the many false teachings they have accepted over the years.
Yes we must Love others, and so sharing the Truth so that we may save the Lost is the responsibility of those who know it.
What chapter and verse did Jesus or his disciples teach denominations in the first century church?
Likely he would say "only christians are all children of god" and only the deniminations he approves of.
Hey it’s the guy from jubilee 🤣
That’s what i thought too! 😂

Well done pastor, I appreciated the fact that you gave each denomination their tendencies, but steered us all back to the main lines of our Christian faith.
7:56 So Jesus is the glue the holds all the Denominations together. Love your point of view on that, Pastor Jason.

Awesome video! Thanks for a detailed brief video about all the distinctions between Baptist and other denominations.
What I find to be most discouraging is that most individuals simply belong to whatever was the predominant church denomination in whichever European country their ancestors came from, but they never question whether that particular denomination teaches what they, as individual believers, truly believe. For example, most Americans of Polish, Irish, Italian, French, Croatian, Czech, Slovenian and Austrian ancestry are expected to be Roman Catholics. But what if they discover, through individual research, that they actually agree more with the teachings of the Lutheran church or the Methodist church or the Episcopal church or the Presbyterian church or the Baptist church ? Do they convert ? Most do not, because there is an underlying sense of ethnic guilt that you HAVE to belong to a certain denomination simply because your ancestors came from such-and-such country.
you are right sir! cultural religion will continue to blind people, from the Bible belt to the Middle East. yet, many of them do not truly believe even though they perform their weekly rituals. Same as atheists or the unchurched, they all need the light of the gospel to be saved, even if they grew up in a church in the Bible belt.
Or, there are so many denominations its not reasonable to expect people to do such research? Remember there are many many groups across the world. Peace.
Roman Catholic here devoutly and nobody can change my mind. Pax :-)

Where was the Protestant (against the church Jesus Christ founded) st the Battle of Lepanto, or the first or second Battle of Vienna? IT IS THE ROMAN CATHOLIC FAITH THAT HAS PULLED US THROUGH.
Please reflect on on how you were taught to hate the Catholic Church. It’s a learned behavior.
For me “extra ecclesiam nulla salus.” No salvation outside the church.

Soul of Christ, sanctify me
Body of Christ, save me
Blood of Christ, inebriate me
Water from Christ's side, wash me

Within Thy wounds hide me
Suffer me not to be separated from Thee
From the malicious enemy defend me
In the hour of my death call me
And bid me come unto Thee
That I may praise Thee with Thy saints
and with Thy angels
Forever and ever
Amen

@@pastorjasonanswers I can't wait to see that!
@@pastorjasonanswers Can’t wait to see more of them!
I have belonged to a few different denominations. When I was a little boy I went to a southern Baptist church with my grandmother.
In my early teens, I joined the Roman Catholic Church. When they changed the liturgy with Vatican 2, I became disillusioned. How could the unchanging doctrine abandon all tradition?
So I stopped going to Mass and became indifferent to church.
I attended the Episcopalian church but never joined.
I went to pentecostal churches and found it to be rather strange.
I then went to a Baptist church and thought the worship style was lively and often fun. But they were too judgemental and conservative for me.
But, at last, I walked into a Presbyterian Church (USA)
I was warmly welcomed, and I liked the pastor and the people.
I loved the liturgy and the music.
There was a definite feeling of connection with the tradition, simplified. The old church calendar is used, along with the liturgical colors changing with the seasons.
I had found a spiritual home.
So here I am, years later, a proud and active member of the Presbyterian Church USA
thank you for your testimonial. I personally don't like the liberal stance of the PCUSA, but it's not about the denomination, but about connecting with God through Jesus Christ, in a saving relationship. I hope you keep growing in the Lord, in the PCUSA
@@pastorjasonanswers thanks for the reply. I am a liberal Democrat, so I like the Presbyterian Church USA stance on social issues.
Love how you ended the video! Blessings to all my brothers and sisters in Christ!
I love how unbiased this video is
I hope that's irony
Sam Godzwa it’s pretty biased
@@Presleysixty it started off biased in the first 30 seconds by the dude stating that LDS and jehovah's witnesses weren't christians which is not true. Hence the reason why i didn't bother watching the video.
Just because they have different views on scripture doesn't make them non-christian. And i'm not even part of any of these groups.
@@GrandMastaKiwi they dont follow the teachings of the bible? Mormons believe some dude found a golden tablet that no one but he could read?
@@GrandMastaKiwi Christians are people who follow the teachings of Christ. The denominations are different interpretations of the scripture. Mormons and Jehovah's witnesses do not worship Lord God almighty.
I am new to this stuff but I am rooting for Baptist
Supersweetshelly I'm Baptist also
The baptist faith was created 1600 years after the day of Pentecost it was founded by John Smyth I’m Amsterdam Holland. Wrong founder, wrong location & 1600 to late. It’s a false organization pertaining to Christianity. Acts 11:26 they were called Christians first in Antioch not Baptist.
@@coff2x387 But they believe in god and see Jesus as their savior. I don't understand it. I am a new Christian. If I go to a baptist church will I be damned?
JoJo thank you JOJO for your reply.
Explain what did you do to become a new Christian? Once you give me an idea of what was ask of you to do or what did they do. I will show you what the scripture saids about salvation.
@@Jesuspaid4oursins Of course not, I've been baptist for 16 years and our main difference is that we believe that a person should choose to be Baptized. So we don't baptize babies
I love this video! Thank you so much. I saw this about three years ago, and it helped me choose the church I attend. I go to the OPC. Glad I could find this video again. God bless you!
so glad you're in the OPC. I'm a Westminster grad with friends in the OPC. but they would see me as too "tolerant" of the other denominations because they often see them as heretics. lol But I believe we have to focus our fight against the real Enemy. In heaven, we can laugh at the Charismatics for their mistakes (yes...they'll be there)
I think you did a VERY GOOD job in presenting this information. Your sincerely and effort was refreshing.
"Romans 12:5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another."
"1 Corinthians 12:12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ."
I left a Reformed Church because of the way the Classis and Synod would bully and dictate to the local churches. I just got tired of the way they thought they could control every aspect of your life. I went and joined a Baptist Church and love it. We are autonomous and no one can tell us what to do or to hire for a minister or speak in our church.
We both know there's no perfect church, although there are many false ones. However, I think there are pros and cons to each denomination. And the Reformed are much stronger in theology. So because they know they're usually right (theologically), they tend to be very arrogant. God opposes the proud.
@@pastorjasonanswers They have good theology but they are most unchristian in other aspects. We were a small rural church and it's hard to find ministers but we found an excellent guy who graduated from an independent reformed seminary that one minister in classis didn't like. He hounded the candidate and wouldn't let him be ordained even though he was a sound man. Even the other RCUS ministers said so, but that one guy literally ran our man out of the pulpit so I left. And this wasn't the only time stuff like this happened. I heard from others that it was common practice, cut the new guys down to make them humble.
Thank you! I was raised quasi-Catholic as in we celebrate all the holidays, own rosaries, and have attended every family Communion, Confirmation, and church service for the deceased. But I never knew the true meanings behind these things. All these different protestant denominations confuse the heck out of me. I am learning about Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy and these alone are confusing!
yeah, I have a video on Catholics and also a new one on Orthodoxy. Plus, I'm working on a new video that shows what the denominations have in common. Please subscribe
Im a Pentecostal christian 🔥 and i love jesus ❤️
@Diego Lopez, pls explain more about Pentecostal Christian...I was born Catholic, and I'm considering choosing either Baptist or Pentecostal...did you choose Pentecostal because they singing throughout the service rather than praying?
Well i dont think there is nothing wrong with being a. Baptist in fact they study more the bible than pentecostals and the good thing about pentecostal is that we give more freedom to the holy spirit To move into our life And well i was born in a pentecostal church all i can say is that i had an amazing experience with the holy spirit of God which guides me with everything i do
im catholic christian and i love jesus.
From which place
azi atama - What about the Triune God, the Father, Son and Spirit?
Beat video explaining these so far , thank you and God Bless
Yes! I love the way you ended it. I’m non denominational . I believe Jesus died for my sins , I believe in the trinity , and I believe every word in the Bible is God inspired /God breathed . I believe in gifts of the spirit and that salvation can’t be lost !
I’ve heard some denominations believe that if you don’t speak in tongues you’re not saved or you can lose your salvation etc. I don’t agree w/either of those things that is not what Gods word says but, I know we all love Christ and are doing our best follow him. He is the way and truth period. All other ground is sinking sand !
yes I agree! you're a sister in Christ, and I'll see you in heaven. And although some people say that denominations divide, it's actually a good way for Christians to worship together without arguing over the same issues like baptism or tongues again and again. I love my Arminian and Charismatic brothers, but I'm not going to keep arguing about the same issues unless someone says something blatantly against Biblical teachings.
So you think once you’re saved you can’t lose your salvation? Interesting so someone gets saved today and tomorrow they decide they’re gonna steal, lie, rape, murder it’s okay…..no worries! I’m saved
Finally some clarity! well presented!
Clarity is good. Truth is better.
???
There was a falling away, or in other words a Great Apostasy!!
Hence the division and conflict amongst Christian denominations.
In other words these churches were created by men!!!
Brother I am proud of you. You aren't afraid to show that things dont make sense or are silly. Props!
I really appreciate this. I grew up as a neo charismatic and now am a reformed Baptist. This was really helpful in seeing the other branches. I still have questions, but this was really good for an 8 minute video.
neo charismatic --> Reformed Baptist! both legit Christian, but wow, what a change!
Reformed Baptists are nothing more than Calvinists. Calvinism is a heresy!
I dont comment much on youtube but I just have to say: Thank you so much Pastor Jason for taking your precious time in doing this very informative video. God bless you for this. And also thank you for being unbiased when taping this.
possibly the best video i've seen on this subject.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! It was so informative and easy to watch.
Thank you so much!!! I am questioning and this was extremely helpful! 💗
I was worried there wouldn't be much quality content with the video only being in 8 minutes. But you did an insanely good job! Bravo! I learned a lot!
How is anybody suppose to know which direction is the right one if the body of Christ itself has no focus whatsoever? Just watching this video builds on the understanding to the viewpoint of non believers.🤦🏾♂️
Line it up against the Bible.

I’d like to know why the Roman Catholic Church had no part in this video being that they are the oldest form of Christianity.
Jesus unites us all. Keep on abiding in the vine brothers and sisters. ♥️

Its simple. Christianity = Relationship with Jesus Christ. Being able to live under his promises. Redeemed by his blood. Living by his unmerited favor when you fail. Accepting his righteousness as your own. .... All this other stuff is confusing but well intended. As a nonbeliever researching christianity may get overwhelming. Lol. Nice job though. I never knew the differences.
the honest thing is that its very confusing, 34,000 denomination with just one bible why?
@@justingichohi470 beacuse the bible is confusing and frequently contradictionary. 1st testament is basically about jeuwisch supremacism while the new is about Jesus and Love for all people.
The problem with all these denominations is just that, everyone of them has a doctrine to go along with it. Starting just from the Bible and not having a denominational gathering would be the true church of Christ.
Wow thanks for the video! I'm Catholic and so I really have no idea what Protestants believe. You didn't include us, but that's because Catholics don't consider themselves a denomination, but the original church; there's no 'denominating' or speak of.
I'm considering becoming a Lutheran. It's funny that from your Protestant outlook you see them the way that you do, as a Catholic I see them as 'Catholics cutting out the man-made nonsense and doing things the way Jesus intended'!
I didn't realize Lutherans were the only ones with a Eucharist. I believe in the Eucharist because when I'm in a chapel I can hear spiritual ringing in my ears, the sign of something extremely holy. It's real!
awakeningspirit20 i agree. Changed from catholic because of the revelation about the Bible. I am grateful but miss the holiness of holy sacrament...go for it. The Bible is life.
Why would any of you leave the catholic church? Why would you want to leave the blessed sacrament? Do you know that Lutherans do not have the valid Eucharist? Why on earth would you forsake and encourage others to forsake our Lord's church?
You forgot to mention the Church Jesus founded. The Catholic Church ❤️ I stand with His Church.
Jesus and the Apostles founded the church, and it wasn't Catholic. nor was it Protestant or Orthodox.
@@pastorjasonanswers Pastor Jason: The Catholic Church is the original Christian. All Protestant denominations are "protesting" one or more tenants of Catholicism. Only in Catholicism do you have the complete fullness of the faith as Jesus intended.

This is the original church. The body of Christ. It wasn’t called catholic.
Roxanne Arismendez hahaha haha lol. Where are we told in the Bible to pray to dead people? Where are we told to have a priest or pope to forgive our sins? There is no mention of purgatory in original scriptures. I could go on but I will kindly disagree with you. Do I believe I know some Catholic’s that are saved yes, but I do not believe Jesus started the Catholic Church how it is today or has been for centuries. Taking a true look at history, the Roman Catholic Church really didn’t start for several hundred years after Christ rose. The catholic beliefs are so mixed with many of the Pagan beliefs of the Romans....
Thank you for this video. Very helpful for me as a youth pastor trying to explain these things to teens.
Grace And Peace. Better to "teach teens" *How To Be "Approved Unto God!"* THEN, they
would "be equipped" to "know *How To Solve* ALL The CONFUSION! ( Of Which:
*God IS NOT the author!* ) Amen? Please, Be Very RICHLY Blessed!:
Part 1 *Approval Unto God!*
*MISSION:*
*To Exalt The LORD JESUS CHRIST by proclaiming ALL The Counsel Of God,*
*According To HIS Revelation Of The Mystery!* Amen?
*GRACE And Peace From God, The Father, And, From The LORD JESUS CHRIST!*
Note: without *God's Holy Spirit,* it will Be IMPOSSIBLE to "understand"
*God's "Approval Unto God" Doctrine (1 Corinthians 2 : 13-14!),* so,
*The Following!* Must Occur FIRST! Amen?:
*God's GREATEST News Ever = HIS Gospel Of The Amazing GRACE Of God!*
For ALL who have NOT YET *Been WASHED IN THE BLOOD!*
Do you Desire ETERNAL Condemnation? If so, then just please
"remain" as you are - In "UNbelief": 😢 ↓ (Luke 18 : 11-12!)
for ALL others who wish to be "humble" ♫😇↑ (Luke 18 : 13-14!):
*FAITH Cometh By hearing, And hearing By The Word Of God!:* Amen?:
*(ALL Scriptures From God's Preserved WORD = KJV! ##)*
*The Gospel Of The GRACE Of God! = God's ETERNAL Salvation! By:*
100% faith (heart belief, trust!) in *The LORD JESUS CHRIST,*
*In HIS Blood, And In HIS Resurrection! = God's ETERNAL Life!!*
*(Romans 10 : 17; 1 Corinthians 15 : 1-4 And Ephesians 2 : 5-10!)*
*Good Works Will Not Save you, But Will Get you Rewards At:*
*The Judgment Seat Of CHRIST! (1 Corinthians 3 : 8-15!)*
***Note1: Verse 15! Teaches ETERNAL SALVATION "Despite Loss!"***
***Note2: IF you just BELIEVED This AND your Are The LAST "member"*
*Of The Body Of CHRIST, we Are Going To Be Raptured Outta Here,*
*so, learn This Right NOW, And you Will Receive A crown At Judgment!:***
*"Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness,*
*Which The LORD, The Righteous Judge, Shall Give me At That Day:*
*And not to me only, but unto All them also that love HIS Appearing!"*
*(2 Timothy 4 : 8!)* Amen?
---------------------------------------------
IF you are in any "religion" with ONE "false doctrine," it is UNclean!,
Please *Obey God, WHO Commands:*
*"Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, Saith*
*The LORD, And touch not the unclean thing; and I Will Receive you,*
*And Will Be A Father Unto you, and ye Shall Be MY sons and daughters,*
*Saith The LORD Almighty!" (2 Corinthians 6 : 17!)*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore:
*God's ETERNAL Salvation Is THE Best Motivation For "true"*
*believers to serve God "out of love," being SAVED For ETERNITY!*
rather than "serving out of FEAR" of "losing Probationary" salvation!:
*"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power,*
*And of love, and of a sound mind!" (1 Timothy 1 : 7!)*

*“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in The Name*
*Of The Father, and Of The SON, and of The Holy Ghost: Teaching*
*them to Observe ALL Things Whatsoever I Have Commanded you:*
*and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen!”*
(Matthew 28 : 19-20!)
(1b) _Including:_ *“Observe ALL things WHATSOEVER I Have*
*COMMANDED you!”:*
*“Then Spake JESUS To the multitude, And To HIS disciples,*
*Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat:*
*ALL therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that OBSERVE*
*AND DO; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not!”*
(Matthew 23 : 1-3!)
(2):
*“And HE Said Unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the*
*gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall*
*be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these*
*signs shall follow them that believe: In MY Name shall they cast out*
*devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents;*
*and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they*
*shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover…. And they went*
*forth, and preached every where, The LORD Working With them, and*
*Confirming The Word With signs following. Amen!”* (Mark 16 : 15-20!)
(3):
*“And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in*
*HIS Name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are*
*witnesses of these things. And, behold, I Send The Promise of MY*
*Father Upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be*
*endued with Power From On High!”* (Luke 24 : 47-49!)
(4):
*“Then Said JESUS To them again, Peace Be Unto you: As MY Father*
*Hath Sent ME, Even So Send I you. And When HE Had Said This, HE*
*Breathed On them, And Saith Unto them, Receive ye The Holy Ghost:*
*Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and*
*whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained!”* (John 20 : 21-23!)
(5):
*“But ye shall receive power, after that The Holy Ghost Is Come Upon you:*
*and ye shall be witnesses unto ME both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea,*
*and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth!”* (Acts 1 : 8!)

Why hate agisnt my Christian brothers Johovas Witnesses, Mormons, ect. Yes, we don't follow the Nicene Creed but we do believe in the Bible and we can only be saved though Jesus Christ.
The world would be a better place if we stopped burning bridges.
Would you mean the bridge you all had in the past to the one church that Jesus established for your salvation??? That bridge is still open to any who want to return to Jesus.
There's Not One Catholic Mentioned In The Bible, Let Alone "The Catholic Church". There Is Not One Protestant Mentioned In The Bible. There Are Not Any Denominations Mentioned In The Bible. There Is No Such Thing As Pope Mentioned In The Bible. Mary The Mother Of The Man Called Yeshua, Can't Answer Your Prayer Or Intercede For You To Yeshua, Cause The Bible Does Not Mention Or Instruct Believers To Do So. Yeshua Did Not Found A New Religions Called Catholic Or Christianity. "Christ" Is A Title Not A Name. The Origin Of The Name "Jesus" Is Not From The Torah, But, It Is A Translation From The Greek And Latin To Middle English. The Word "Christian" Is Mentioned Only 3 Times In The Bible, And Each Time It Was Mention It Was Derogatory. Yeshua, The Apostles Or Paul, Never Taught About A Catholic Church, A Protestant Church Or A Christian Church. Neither Yeshua, The Apostles Nor Paul Taught All This Silly Catholic, Protestant, Christian Crap, Because It's All Diabolically Man Made. Folks, Get A Bible And Ask The Holy Spirit To Help You Understand And Learn What God Says In His Word. Stop Listening To False Teachers. Shalom
Dorothy
Shalom.
Jesus established a Church and there is no other entity on Earth which can lay claim to be that Church except the Catholic Church. And you are correct that Protestantism and demoninations have no place in Christianity.
Dorothy Vailes
Wow... I haven't seen so much idiocy in one paragraph for a while.
Care to be schooled on how just about every point you made is WRONG? Or are you going to be willfully ignorant?
bridgefin, The First Believers Were Not The Catholic Church. The Catholic Church Is The Pagan Church Of Rome. The Catholic Church Doesn't Believe In The Word Of God. It Follows Its Own Evil Pagan Rituals. You Have Been Deceived From Its Idolatrous Teachings. I Was A Catholic For 31 Years, Then, Started Studying The Word Of God For Myself. I Also, Studied The Catholic Catechism, Which Has Documentation Of All Of Its Pagan Rules And What It Teaches And Has Taught Over The Centuries. Again, Yeshua Never Established The Catholic Church. The Catholic Church Is Man Made With The Help Of Satan. When, You Truly Belong To Yeshua He Gives You The Holy Spirit To Lead You Into His Truth. The Holy Spirits Helps Us To Understand His Word. You Have Been Seriously Misinformed. I Pray God Will Reveal His Truth To You. Shalom
dinopad10 You Are A Catholic, Right? Shalom
Dorothy
You claimed: The First Believers Were Not The Catholic Church.
Me: Based on what? It is an historical question and ONLY the Catholic Church can be dated to the time of Jesus. Your assertions of paganism, belief, ritual matter not at all to that question.
You: I Was A Catholic For 31 Years, Then, Started Studying The Word Of God For Myself.
Me: Let me know when you get to the part where scripture claims that scripture is NOT for personal interpretation.
I am sorry that you lost your faith.
I'm Christian from north east India but I'm Presbyterian God bless you all and i believe in Jesus Son of God
Folks, Study The Bible From Genesis To Revelation, For Yourself!! Shalom
Dorothy Vailes religion is bullshit just read the Bible from genesis to revelation, for yourself!!
Dorothy Vailes The Bible says in 2 Peter 1:20-21 that the scriptures are not to be interpreted for ourselves. Look it up and read it.
2 peter is a forgery.
I read it and studied it.... I'm now a free thinking, evidence-based, myth-free person :-)
Does the Bible say to study the Scriptures for yourself or to listen to the Church established by Christ?
I'm glad that you added that part at the end about us all going to heaven. When you were talking about the different denominations. I was saying those guys are wrong or my church is different. I was so caught up with being right that I forgot what is truly important. That Jesus is worshipped. Thank you for showing me that side of myself, I didn't realize how arrogant I was.
"Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32)
Find the truth first..
Protestants first word
Dad: say dada
Baby: da
Dad: Come on
Baby: da
Dad: So close
Baby: Idolatry
Dad: I am sending you back to the adoption center
The presbyterian church I attended has women elders. It might depend on the particular branch of presbyterian.
desertrose0601 we have women in the elders in our church as well. And i serve as the deacon moderator, so i do work closely with them.
He mentioned there are different 'versions' of presbyterians. The 'no male elders' was one example. The 'we ordain homosexuals' was another. Pretty sure that leaves plenty of room for 'we have female elders' in between.
I see what you did there with the outro song! 😯👍🔥😂
what happened to the cool guy from the start
Why are Witnesses and Mormons excluded? Do they not believe in the virgin birth, sinless life, and death of Jesus as payment for the sins of believers? I attend a EFCA Church myself however I have friends who are both Mormon and Witnesses, I've had conversations with them. Never heard anything from them that would make me think they don't believe in Christ.
issuu.com/rosepublishing/docs/404x_rose_ccr_preview/3?e=1708736/4862828
^ that chart explains some of the difference
mormons believe that God was once a man who progressed to godhood, and that worthy people who work hard enough can progress to godhood themselves. mormons also deny the authority of scriptures because they have the book of mormon.
jehovah's witnesses deny the trinity, and say that Jesus was created (true Christians believe that Jesus was never created but exists outside of time in perfect relationship with the trinity)
cavibird2005 essentially they believe salvation is by works of righteousness or Lord ship salvation, and that contradicts Ephesians 2:8-10. A good analogy to go by is this; Image a friend comes up to you and says hey I heard you know John (and you do) and then that friend starts describing John as a blonde white male with blue eyes and he is always happy, but it turns out the John he is talking about is not the same brown haired brown eyed depressed John you know. You are simply talking about two different people with the same name. That is a big difference between Mormons and JW's VS true Christians. The Jesus'es they have are simply not the same Jesus of the Bible. Study what Later day saints and JW's say about Jesus and compare it to the Jesus of the Bible and you will see the huge differences.
cavibird2005 You are right my friend, Mormons and Jehova Witnesses are Christians too, we can't say they aren't Christians just because their core doctrines don't relate to ours. For example Mormons believe that there is no other name on Earth or in Heaven by which man can be saved but by Jesus Christ alone, and they believe without grace one cannot be saved. Jehova Witnesses do believe Jesus Christ to be from God as in they are two separate beings, that doesn't make you non-Christian. The pastor in the video says "Jesus is the Son of God", that's exactly what both Mormons and Jehova Witnesses believe XD
Kevin D. Najera the core doctrine of any religion is part of what defines and identifies that religion, so yes we can say that mormons/JWs aren't Christians if their core doctrine doesn't line up with Christianity. In fact, it's the main reason why they aren't Christians.
what you are suggesting is that even though mormons/JWs believe some things that deny the fundamental doctrine of Christianity, they can still be called Christians just because they have some other beliefs in common with Christianity. If that's true, we might as well say that red is green because they're both colors and up is down because they're both directions.
goJesusandStarcraft What is that "fundamental doctrine of Christianity" that you are talking about? Maybe we should start with that. I still hold strong to defend these religions that are so attacked by people who call themselves Christians but don't act Christ-like :/
Thank you brother for your labor of love in sharing these important details.
I am a Catholic and i am confused if Christianity is part of Catholicism and vice versa or Catholicism is Christianity. To make it clear, we don't worship Mary nor saints :P
cool cool to answer your question all Catholics are Christians but not all Christians are Catholics.
THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY : may God's grace help you to understand His ways! Read Bible and Scripture will speak for itself!
Poor you! The pastor gave all orthodoxs a heart but not you bcz he gonna prove he's only son of God while you not 😂😂😂
@Matthew Tenorio_3200654
You: Praying hail marry is example of “worship”
Me: Baloney, the Hail Mary is both recitation of Scripture and a request for another Christian to pray for you. We honor Mary, we absolutely do not worship her. And worship exists in the heart and not in actions.
You: praying before them especially Christ’s cross and figure ( even its not actual Christ) is idol worship...
Me: You should educate yourself before you speak. You don't know what you are talking about. A statue is a reminder. No one prays to a statue but to the person represented by the statue.
You: i am agnostic, but i can defend those who follow the bible rightfully .
Me: Not so far. The people who follow the bible rightly are Catholics.
THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY
Jesus established one church. Those who attended that church were called Christians in the beginning. To incorporate the universality of Christ's message it named itself the Catholic (universal) church. Some who left that church 500 years ago now call themselves Christian. It loosely means that they follow Christ in some way. These Christians are in the church to the extent that they accept what the Catholic Church teaches. We have much in common. We have too much in disunity.
dinopad10 the number of comments by RCs trying to defend their religion just proves my point... the discussion is futile until RCs come to terms with the false pre suppositions they have about the Church, the gospel and salvation as a whole
Like that Jesus established their Church when it was really started in 1517?
Ryan Esau The difference is the Catholic catechism is 864 pages of theology backed up by the apostles the old testament the apostolic fathers the church fathers, testified to by Eucharistic miracles and the 2000 years of being one holy apostolic church and the Protestants like you who don't even fill out a whole three sentences. 48,683 different Protestant denominations are all relative subjective truth. We are not going to change.
Ryan Esau
Well, Catholics aka the original Christians, have been criticized attack by every non-catholic denomination or individual since she came into existence at Pentecost around 30ad or 33ad according to historians. The Catholic church was founded on Jesus Christ himself. And his church still exist her today 2000 year's later. Jesus, was not lying when he said the "gates of hell will not prevail against it" we have his promise. You have to remember that church didn't come from the bible the Church came from Jesus Christ himself, the bible came from the Catholic church. It was the Catholic church that decided which chapters and verses we're divinely inspired.
Greetings and blessings from an Anglo-Catholic and now low church Anglican currently worshipping where Christianity is banned in the Middle East. Hallelujah brothers and sisters. Praise the lord!
Greetings to the persecuted church!
St. Ignatius became the third bishop of Antioch, succeeding St. Evodius, who was the immediate successor of St. Peter. He heard St. John preach when he was a boy and knew St. Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna. Seven of his letters written to various Christian communities have been preserved. Eventually, he received the martyr's crown as he was thrown to wild beasts in the arena.
The Epistle of Ignatius to the Smyrnaeans
Chapter 8. Let nothing be done without the bishop
See that you all follow the bishop, even as Jesus Christ does the Father, and the presbytery as you would the apostles; and reverence the deacons, as being the institution of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is *the Catholic Church*. It is not lawful without the bishop either to baptize or to celebrate a love-feast; but whatsoever he shall approve of, that is also pleasing to God, so that everything that is done may be secure and valid.

jesus wasn't Baptist when he was a baby so i don't agree with the babies baptism
point noted. But Jesus was circumcised when he was 8 days old, and Presbyterians link the tradition of baptism with OT circumcision, as both symbols of the covenant
Roja Thonger Of course Jesus wasn't Baptist, he was Jewish. What about us Catholics who baptise babies? Did not Christ tell his desciples to go, and baptise all in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit? Where in that command did Jesus say, except for the babies? He didn't.

“infant sprinkling,” And, (d) left IFB (due to “study” below), 8 years after
NON-regeneration “obedience of immersion in water.”
After *God Allowed* me these "water experiences,” the following is my personal
*(GRACE!)* "view" of *HIS Truth About: ALL "Baptisms" In HIS Word!*
Friend, what think ye?
Q: *What Does "ALL Of God's Word" Teach On This Important Doctrine?*
And, Please, Be *RICHLY Blessed!:*
Note: without *God's Holy Spirit,* it will Be IMPOSSIBLE to "understand"
*God's BaptismS Doctrine (1 Corinthians 2 : 13-14!),* so,
*The Following!* Must Occur FIRST! Amen?:
(2)
*God's GREATEST News Ever = HIS Gospel Of The Amazing GRACE Of God!*
For ALL who have NOT YET *Been WASHED IN THE BLOOD!*
Do you Desire ETERNAL Condemnation? If so, then just please
"remain" as you are - In "UNbelief": 😢 ↓ (Luke 18 : 11-12!)
for ALL others who wish to be "humble" ♫😇↑ (Luke 18 : 13-14!):
*FAITH Cometh By hearing, And hearing By The Word Of God!:* Amen?:
*(Romans 10 : 17!: ALL Scriptures From God's Preserved WORD = KJB! ##)*
*The Gospel Of The GRACE Of God! = God's ETERNAL Salvation! By:*
100% faith (heart belief, trust!) in *The LORD JESUS CHRIST,*
*In HIS BLOOD, And In HIS Resurrection! = God's ETERNAL Life!!*
*(Acts 20 : 24, 28; Romans 3 : 22-26, 4 : 24-25, 5:1-10; 1 Corinthians 15 : 1-4;*
*Ephesians 1 : 6-7, 2:5-10; Colossians 1 : 14; Titus 3 : 5-7; 1 Timothy 1 : 15!)*
*{ cp Romans - Philemon #, Where “God’s GRACE!” Is Found 85 Times! }*
*Good Works Will Not Save you (Romans 4 : 5; Ephesians 2 : 8-10;Titus 3 : 5!), But*
*Will Get you Rewards At The Judgment Seat Of CHRIST! (1 Corinthians 3 : 8-15!)*
**Note1: Verse 15! Teaches ETERNAL SALVATION "Despite Loss!"**
***Note2: IF you just BELIEVED This AND your Are The LAST "member"*
*Of The Body Of CHRIST, we Are Going To Be Raptured Outta Here,*
*so, learn This Right NOW, And you Will Receive A crown At Judgment!:***
*"Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness,*
*Which The LORD, The Righteous Judge, Shall Give me At That Day:*
*And not to me only, but unto All them also that love HIS Appearing!"*
*(2 Timothy 4 : 8!)* Amen?
---------------------------------------------
IF you are in any "religion" with ONE "false doctrine," it is UNclean!,
Please *Obey God, WHO Commands:*
*"Wherefore Come Out from among them, and be ye Separate, Saith*
*The LORD, And touch not the unclean thing; and I Will Receive you,*
*And Will Be A Father Unto you, and ye Shall Be MY sons and daughters,*
*Saith The LORD Almighty!" (2 Corinthians 6 : 17!)*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore:
*God's ETERNAL Salvation Is THE Best Motivation For "true"*
*believers to serve God "out of love," being SAVED For ETERNITY!*
rather than "serving out of FEAR" of "losing Probationary" salvation!:
*PEACE From The Great God And Saviour, JESUS CHRIST!:*
*"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power,*
*And of love, and of a sound mind!" (1 Timothy 1 : 7!)*
Surely, *Gratitude To God For HIS UNSPEAKABLE Gift is in order DAILY!*
Amen?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
continued in *ALL Of God's THIRTEEN (13) Scriptural Baptisms!...*
@Messenger Charles Yes Jesus is (NOT was) Jewish, he fulfilled the Law as given through Moses. The problem is the modern rabbinical Judaism is not Jewish, it is based on tradition instead of Scripture.
About infant baptism I have one question. At what age does a child become responsible for her sins? Think about it and pray for the answer.
I'm Catholic and I think pastor Jason is right that Jesus is the son of God and he died for our sins
well explained pastor thanks
The Body Of Yeshua (Called The Church), Is Not, A Christian Denomination, It Is Not The Christian Church, It Is Not The Catholic Church, It Is Not The Protestant Church. It Is Not All These Churches Put Together. Nor Is It A Religion, Nor Is It A Building, Nor A Church Organization. It Is, Individuals (People), Born Again In Spirit. It Is, Individuals (People), That, Yeshua Lives In Them And They In Him. The Body Of Yeshua, Is Not Of The Physical, It Is Of The Spirit. The Body Of Yeshua, Is Not, "Traditions, Doctrines And Commandments Of Men". The Body Of Yeshua, Is Individuals (People), Who Love Him And Obey His Commandments, Which Are In His Word, From Genesis Through Revelation. Shalom

" And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. "
Matthew 16:18
Which church is Jesus Christ, taking about? There's over 40,000 different protestant churches and with different interpretations of scripture. The holy spirit is not the author of confusion.
We are for Christ nothing matters. Everything is possible in Christ
MegaSaginaw I think you know what the true church is.. the One Holy Church that Christ Jesus had found. The Pillar of Truth is this Holy Church which still stands today.
Dorothy Vailes. I agree agree with what you said in your comment.
I agree with the comment by Dorothy.
This was such a helpful video! Thank you so much!
When all people will face God
He will only look at the human ❤.faith Love and charity in the soul of everyone .not your religion status.Jesus is Lord and Savior of the humanity your body is Temple Church.there will be end times that all churches will only operate under the Law of the sovereigns.
I believe that we all should spend more time worshiping. proverbs 3.5 trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not on our own understanding. And don't judge or say who is or isn't going be in heaven..
You just blasphemed the Reformation. Repent!
You can't be Serious George? When is worshiping MORE bad? When is citing a scripture bad? And when is recommending not Judging bad when Jesus says it himself? You are an accuser without grounds. This is very WOLF LIKE indeed.
Erik Olson Then we should all be Schema Monks then.
Erik Olson. True. You are right.
he is, and he got told he was blaspheming. To Blaspeme GOD is to change/modify/alter his personality or attributes: LOVE;WISDOM;JUSTICE;POWER
The Reformation was a paper of religious topics to discuss then the Catholic Priests took it as treason... People disagreed with People so These people Tried to Start a Dialog to investigate the matters in scripture - POOF - PROTEST-ANTS Born... people not getting along with people which likely Saddens God seeing us act like children...still... in these last days.
Great video.
What? Water baptism to babies. Then you've forgotten why it's given. Water baptism is offered to people who've understand what good and evil are and are able to distinguish good from evil 😈.
Plus, who determine to not sin anymore. How, then, could you give it to babies. More denominations will form by professing biblically erroneous practices
It all started with Martin Luther 😂
Orthodox Christian is the way to go ⛪
The apostle Paul didn't say anything about Mary at all.
Mary's mission was completed before Paul's conversion. Why would he have mentioned her?
bridgefin Jesus told his 12 Apostles that wherever they preach the gospel they were to mention what happened but Paul when he got saved and went to the Gentiles never mentioned it, it had nothing to do with the Gentiles the body of Christ Church.
bridgefin because Jesus told the 12 apostles that wherever they preach the gospel to make mention of Mary but Paul never said one word to the Gentiles about what she had done.
I am cathlic
Don't be so hard on yourself.
Well made video. I thought you guys adequately hit very complex and intricate concepts in a manner that made the viewer gain a grasp of them.
thanks mucho!
Pastor can you please explain Trinity in your next video :( .. i'm a new christian and still confused :(
why would you convert to a religion youre confused about and do not understand fully? thats the epitome of stupid
because it changed me :) .. I was a gambler, alcoholic, war freak before .. when i accept jesus as my lord and savior it changed me alot :D ..
And i didn't choose it .. it's God's will
***** Any religion wouldve had the same impact on your out of control behavior. Do u have proof that if you had turned to the muslims god or jews god it would have turned out differently? Youre probably a white-born westerner whos cone from a christian lineage which is why youve chosen christianity over any other.
That's amazing to hear, I'm so happy for you! :) Jesus and the Holy Spirit can do amazing things for you in your life, all it takes is prayer and faith.
Thank god i am an orthodox
This video was good, much appreciation. 🤗
*Man made churches are false!*
The Catholic Church has Apostolic succession of Peter, the cross, the Apostles bodies and made the Bible.
The Catholic Church compiled the Bible. ...but I knew what you meant.
Nah, forget religion, it’s not about religion it’s about having a relationship with God. Forget what’s true or fake just follow the Bible, that’s the true ‘religion.’ Blessings! 🙌🏻❤️
Aaron Slifka obey Acts 2:38
No. The church existed before the Catholics ever existed, and their have always been believers holding biblical doctrine outside of the "Catholic church".
I'm a strong Jehovah's Witness and I know for a FACT that we are Christian and we believe that Jehovah is god, Jesus is his son, and the Bible is truly god's word. Please don't say something without full evidence.
Mets
Jehovah's Witnesses are not Christian as they do not believe that Jesus is God. You even corrupt your biblical translation to try to avoid the obvious. You may be very nice people but you would have been cast out of the early Church with the rest of the Arians as heretics.
The difinition of a Christian is somebody who believes Jesus is our lord and savior, and who lives their life by the principles and teachings of Christ. The trinity doctrine is something else entirely.
"And he said to them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my father, which is in heaven." Matthew 16:15-17, KJV.
Not here to argue, but you can't tell me I'm not a Christian, because I don't believe the exact way you do. I'll take Jesus' word for it. We ARE very nice people, though, you got that right. :)
Mest
Jesus claimed to be God but you ignore or discount his claims. How could Jesus have been our savior if he is not God. We needed someone who could satisfy an offense against an infinite God and no one who is not divine is infinite and could handle that mission.
I think it is missing the mark to claim to believe in Jesus if you don't believe what he says about himself. He said that "...before Abraham was I AM"....the very name God offered for himself to Moses. Jesus said he could forgive sins. Only God can do that. Jesus said that he and the Father are one. That puts him on equal footing with the Father.
I am not here to argue but to pursue truth.
JW is a cult; so are Mormons, 7th Day Adventists and Christian Scientists.
None is a Protestant religion. As for Mormonism in particular, see my other posts please. Blessings to you.
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us.
1 John 2:19 ESV
I am a Christian & I am a member of a Baptist Church
The ending instruemental was for a song that goes, "whats the difference between me and you?"
lol very funny
thank you for clearing it up
hahah you're old school if you caught that lol
pastorjasonanswers after being both Presbyterian and baptist which have you concluded to be true? I'm definitely leaning on the baptist side of things.
And I thought the reason behind infancy baptism was from a misunderstanding of John 3:5. And baggage from Catholic Church.
Ayyy it's Biola University
The only Church that Christ Built is the Christian Catholic Church.. all others are of the person who built them...
True
Ethan Hester amen Amen Amen !!!
Ethan Hester thanks for the support
Really appreciated the end. Thank you.
Witnesses and Mormons are not Christian. neither believe that Jesus is divine.
you are exactly right! I should be making a video on cults this year. Don't forget to subscribe!
Windy with a chance of Sunshine, that is NOT correct. Mormons DO believe that Jesus is divine, that he is the literal son if God and that he is savior and redemer of the world. That basic belief is in common with other Christian denominations. There are other areas in which members of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints (Mormons) believe differently than other Christian denominations, but the divinity of Jesus Christ is not one if them.
SomeRandomWhiteGuy, sorry Mormons don't believe that God had sexual relations with Mary and satan. Not sure where you got the satan part from? Never heard that before. That is a new one. There was a theory espoused by Brigahm Young that that may have occurred with Mary, but that is not Mormon doctrine. We do not believe that.
You are correct. Mormons & JWs deny the Deity of Jesus and the Virgin Birth. Mormons teach that Elohim, their Heavenly Father, had regular, old fashioned Sex with Mary. Mormons & Muslims are very dishonest about their beliefs.
Also the United Pentecostals are a false cult. They deny the Trinity. Whereas the Assemblies of God are an Orthodox Christian Denomination. Orthodox means they believe the Original beliefs of the early church. I was raised Lutheran and became a Luthercostal when I was 17 years old.
protestants were first everyone copy
America
Catholics landed in Florida and worshipped there decades before Jamestown or Plymouth Rock. As in everything Protestants came in later.
No name
There are 3 main sections of Christianity: Catholicism, Orthodoxy, Protestantism. The latter people came to the party the morelikely they were to attack those who had preceeded them and claim that they are the only valid "Christians". In Christianity there is one faith which was established by Jesus and that is claimed by Catholics. That puts everyone else in a man-made faith. And they rebel against the idea that they aren't the true faith resulting in rejection of history, or reinterpreteting Scripture to support or allow them to consider themselves the true "Christians."
While the Jewish faith is older its purpose was to bring the Messiah into the world. Their responsibility is over according to Christians who believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah. If anything is good about these endless debates it is that our arguments take place in electrons and not on the streets.
we are to be with the 1 Remnant church of God the Bible speaks of . A Biblical based church that isn't a religion.
Ken
Jesus did not establish a bible-based church. What he actually started was a church-based bible.
then what is the 1 Remnant church of God the Bible speaks of?
Great video, thanks for taking the time to do this video Pastor!!
thanks for the encouragement!
You should all become Catholic, the One, True, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church!
Don't force me to be a Roman Catholic I'm a prodistan and I like going to church of God not a Catholic church
Ask Bagels - Sad that most do not study the gospels or put value on the apostles Divine interpretation of Christ from Pentecost the Holy Spirit. To be Christian is to Catholic. Period. All other interpretations are not of the Holy Spirit but of man’s arrogance in thinking his view is correct. Individualism and Ego has inspired interpretations of the bible, the apostles or gospels warned of anyone claiming to know the way to salvation that contradicts what they say in the bible. They warn of those who have divine messages or angels that present with messages that change the original orders of Christ. Know the history or theology and the people who were chosen first by Christ. Then you will know why protestantism is a defiance against the gospels. Its is satan who knows his limits and influences man to be in a falsehood of salvation- to lead astray those that want to be in defiance of Christ’s message established in the origin of Christianity - the Holy Catholic Church-
Primitive Baptist!
@@time4peace726 When God and the Pope disagree, Rome says that God is wrong, Qed the Roman Catholic Church is false doctrine.
If Catholic Church was the One, True , Holy and Apostolic Church, why did the Catholic Church church change the original organisation of the church, from Prophets to Pope, Archbishops to Apostles when in the book of Ephesians 4:11-15 states that Apostles and Prophets are foundation of Jesus Christs church. Also the Apostle Paul prophesied about the Apostasy which is known as "The Falling away" in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3.
This is a mess and is practically 100% incorrect. There's only one church btw. It's the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church predates all other "Christian" religions by 1000 years.
James Seary You are deceived
Robert Schilling
Deceived by what ? Historical facts ?
James Seary Okay give me the historical facts. Because the facts are the Catholic man made doctrine was created 400 years after Christ. That's a long time to allow all those pagan doctrines to enter like the Catholics have.
Robert Schilling
Do you know the exact names and dates of who God used to create the New Testament ? Who made the word bible ? Etc. Do you even know how the Bible came to be exactly ?
James Seary Clearly I know more about the subject because I'm not Catholic. However, I'm here to help you if you'd like. Still waiting for those historical facts that link the Catholic man made doctrines to what the teaches of Paul stated in any of those letters.
I'm not religious, I was just confused about what the differences were. Thanks for explaining.
How I describe my faith to a non believer is that Christ is our Lord and savour, the denomination is our relationship and the Bible is his love letter. Like siblings we won't always agree with each other but we Are to love one another the way Jesus loves us.
Mark 3:24... don't let the devil divide Gods kingdom on earth.
God Bless
nice analogy
