00:00:00 In less than a year, our podcast has gone from an average of 10,000 downloads a month
00:00:04 to 50,000 downloads. What made the difference? You leaving us a five-star review. The more
00:00:10 positive reviews, the more the algorithm picks us up, and more people are confronted by the law
00:00:16 and gospel of Jesus Christ. Help us press forward the crown rights of King Jesus by leaving us a
00:00:23 five-star review on your favorite podcast platform thanks within within roman catholicism you have
00:00:31 seven sacraments protestants we have two protestants are right you have seven sacraments
00:00:36 but here's the idea with with a roman catholic you get baptized in the church and they would 0.84
00:00:43 hold to baptismal regeneration so it would take you from mortal sins and put you on the right 0.87
00:00:48 track and that inevitably you're going to fall and so you're going to need to be rewashed and
00:00:53 set back on the right track again and again but it would start with your baptism as an infant as a
00:00:58 baby baptismal regeneration they actually believe that baptism saves in the literal sense so it
00:01:04 causes the person to be born again so baptism that is a sacrament and after that you would have
00:01:10 confirmation that would be another sacrament at that point you would begin participating in the
00:01:16 eucharist the mass the eucharist which would include both the bread and also the wine
00:01:21 transubstantiation literally turned into the flesh and the blood of christ which is wrong
00:01:27 but that would be another sacrament they believe that grace is infused not imputed that is
00:01:33 accredited accounted for righteousness through faith alone like the scripture says of abraham
00:01:39 but rather infused and it's infused grace is infused through sacraments and in other cases
00:01:45 perhaps relics and rituals but certainly sacraments and certainly baptism and the
00:01:53 eucharist so you have baptism then confirmation in the eucharist then you have confession which
00:01:58 would also be a sacrament that you would go periodically before the priest in a confessional
00:02:05 booth bless me father for i have sinned it has been this long since my last confession
00:02:10 you would then begin to recount the sins that you have committed against god and your fellow
00:02:15 man the priest would then prescribe to you some form of penance which is distinct from repentance
00:02:21 this many our fathers this many hail marys if you perform these outward objective signs
00:02:29 if you do what the priest says then again you have handles that you can hold on to
00:02:35 so you have confession as a sacrament marriage would also be a sacrament according to roman
00:02:42 Catholicism, not within the Protestant faith. Again, we have two, baptism and the Lord's Supper.
00:02:48 But you make sure that you're baptized in a Catholic church. You make sure you get married
00:02:52 in a Catholic church. You make sure you're confirmed in a Catholic church,
00:02:56 that you go and you confess your sin to a Catholic priest from time to time.
00:03:01 You take the mass in a Catholic church and you have your last rites read to you
00:03:07 on your deathbed by a catholic priest and the seventh sacrament would be in the case of the
00:03:13 priesthood becoming a priest ordination there are handles very objective outward signs and seals
00:03:21 there's something there and protestants unfortunately a lot of the assurance that we
00:03:27 rest in ironically is feelings that you feel saved that you feel the love of god that you feel
00:03:35 christ work is for you but when you read john's epistle his first epistle that's just not the way
00:03:43 it reads and so and being faithful to the true protestant tradition i'm gonna go with scripture
00:03:52 alone and not mere traditions whether they be roman traditions or protestant traditions
00:03:58 for that matter but there's scripture alone and in the scripture john inspired by the holy spirit
00:04:05 it says again and again and again and again.
00:04:08 You can know, you can know, you can know.
00:04:10 And then he gives very tangible, outward, objective signs.
00:04:17 You can know that you're a Christian if you love the saints.
00:04:22 You can know you're a Christian if you obey Christ's commandments.
00:04:27 And you can know you're a Christian if you have both a biblical
00:04:31 and personal confession of christ every single one of john's spiritual tests that you find in
00:04:41 first john can be categorized in one of those three primary categories the love test the
00:04:48 obedience test and the doctrinal test
00:04:51 We'll be right back.
