Shall we please all exalt this Jesus - The Crucified and Risen?
I am sure there will be no catholic, anglican, baptist, jehovah witness, redeem, winners, mfm, deeper life, methodist, salvation army in heaven.
It is Jesus or nothing else: denomination profits nothing!
If Heaven is your utmost goal, pls give full attention to it. Works will save no man only Faith in Jesus!
You have accepted Jesus and love where you belong, the word is rich enough, then, continue or you pray God to direct you to a Bible Believing Church.
Only Faith in Jesus profits! Dont argue or boast over inconsequentials, Jesus is the Way, Truth and Life..
You want to get to God? Go directly through Him alone!
Dont be suprised that when u reach there u will find only 1 church, d one Jesus established i.e d Catholic Church.

Yes you will find Christians,yes Catholics in heaven but by correct definition.
Christian as word existed before catholic,they are words used by the callers to describe those die hard(authentic followers) of Jesus Christ,who are purchased by his blood,redeemed and sactified not by works of men but by grace of God in Christ Jesus,and they followed Christ till then end whose name is in the book of life.

If that is what you mean,you are correct else someone has made you assume your salvation!

If God save only Roman Catholic Church, what about Isreal who dont believe in it. Since God is righteous He said; true worshipers will worship him where? (Catholic church,anglican,pentecostal,Baptist,etc No!!!) in Spirit and in truth. Christ has given a definit answer to people who debominate his gospel.
Who does that mean; call your church anything,claim anything,believe anything but the question is "are you worshiping God in His Spirit and the truth he has established?"

That would be your personal examination as a Christian or Catholic.

1. All who believe were called christians until the tempter came and sowed false teaching and false teachers rm 16:17, so all who believe and hold to the true faith as passed down from the apostle thru their successors in the One Church Jesus founded Eph 2:19-22 were called Catholic.
2. Jesus founded one church in and appointed her leader with authority mt 16;18, 18:18, that church he instituted as a beacon of salvation for all who believe that church is the Catholic church which comprise of the roman catholic church and d 22 other church with her, it was to her that was giving the fullness of the means of salvation. mt 28:18-20, jn 20:23
3. All who are saved are those who Christ had made members of this his one body whether physically as professed catholic or spiritually through his mercy Jn 10:16.
4. So it matter that you worship God in spirit and truth, and also matters that you worship him in the assembly he establish.

The bible cle says that the church has the apostles as foundation, na so ur own b?

Correct! However Catholic in an adjective meaning universal. When you say catholic do you mean universal body of christ or universal roman system? So Christ didn't form any church,he brought a message that will take us to the Father,after which he handed over that message for in keeping eph 4:11-12 And believers gather to worship God in spirit and truth, prophesing the same faith handed down, so name as (catholic,anglican,etc ) means nothing.

There is a little mis-information here with the above verses you quoted.
Christ didnot found his church upon peter. Christ said destroy this temple in three days i will raise it. He was not pointing to the temple and Jews mis-understood him.
He said you peter upon this rock I will build my church,he was not pointing at peter.
Peter did something before he said it. It was the revelation of what peter said is the rock(1 cor 10:3) not peter.
Peter was apostle to Jews but Paul was apostle to gentiles.
Peter was not the head of Christians but Christ,Christ also gave peter the keys to kingdom which he used after Pentecost and in the house of Cornelius.



3. All who are saved are those who Christ had made members of this his one body whether physically as professed catholic or spiritually through his mercy Jn 10:16.

Salvation only come through Christ,no church gives salvation. When roman church added that alot think that rev fr,bishop or pope,eucharist can save them when dying but they missed it,it was great a delusion to make you run after man instead of God.
In order to convince them properly purgatory was created after death wheras purgatory is here on earth before you die.


4. So it matter that you worship God in spirit and truth, and also matters that you worship him in the assembly he establish.


What matters is for you to worship God in spirit and truth only "no AND" there. God will lead you through the fellowship as it were before tempter entered into the church.
And that is the people God is gathering now.



The bible cle says that the church has the apostles as foundation, na so ur own b?


Apostles were not the foundation but apostolic ministry is foundation laying ministry. They have laid the foundation that is why apostle paul said in Gal that if he himself or angels in heaven or pope or arch bishop come later and preach any other thing from what they have preached,let him be accursed.
That is why you judge your church by what the apostles preach.

And you see alot of differences from the roman church and what apostles taught.


The truth is that Roman church was formed in parallel with all powers they have to imitate the real church(Church that Christ is the head not peter,pope,etc,Holy Ghost interprets bible for them not organized body). In order to achieve that,they formed the most orderly and advanced organization that look like church proclaiming the culture of Rome,that is why you see a Yoruba/Ibo/hausa priest dress like roman prince during mass instead of like his cultural dress to be like people he is preaching to. Most of her doctrines were formed before they look for bible passage to support it.

It may interest you that Pentecostal picked that influence from roman church and pentecostalize it.
That is why you also see confusion is Pentecostal world
