My reason for posting this is not to garner cheap like, but to let people know that even where people think they would find solace, they are being rejected there too.

Good day nairalanders,
****
At the end of my speech his response was, is not possible to be a Catholic and be born again.
****
.

The key thing to note that Jesus underwent a Physical and Spiritual Baptism acknowledged by God and prophesied in the book of Isaiah

Jesus was reborn following the Baptism in a river by John the Baptist - what a lot of christian fail to understand is that it is just a physical ritual that existed long before Christianity came into being as a Faith-based practice. When Jesus was born, he was baptized by the jewish priest and named. that is the standard baptism in those times - however John the Baptist (Note the Title) said that the jewish form of Baptism which is similar to the one practiced by Roman Catholics needed to be done in the River (perhaps he was an Orisa acolyte)

Being born of the Spirit is the only requirement - you must also be careful when getting baptised in a River dedicated to several gods and goddesses with sacrifices flowing up and down grin

Stay steady in the acquisition of Knowledge - Wisdom - and Understanding. remain humble, you will be noticed by non-plebs in an environment worth your time

I am going to need receipts that this happened. I find it hard to believe. An European county with it's almost atheist population asking you to verify if you are born again is synonymous to Buhari suddenly being proactive in Nigeria. That is impossible.

Receipts please. So whatever legal action you want to take can be pushed for you to the far heavens.

Oga this your story no balance jare. A company with branches in Europe rejecting your on religious grounds is gist. Unless you're being recruited to the clergy or operations within the clergy I say this story is concocted. Do you know the amount of litigation that a company can come under for discrimination based on religion? Post the advert for the role if you're being honest, that'll give your story context.
True. Not Nigeria but Europe! Europe! Where they dish out lawsuits anyhow.

this brother.. Baptism by water immersion is the right and proper way and. The word 'Baptism' itself is a greek word meaning Immersion or deep in Water.
all through the passage in the new testament, from JESUS To his disciples and apostles and even the story of Phillip preaching to the enuch, later baptising him.. All shows the act of total immersion.

Rom 6 : 4 - 6 says : Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. (5) says : for if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection :.
6. Says - knowing this, that our old man(flesh) is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
You only choose what u want out of the scriptures without understanding, just like u chose tithing from old testament.. Pay attention

I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols" (Ezek. 36:25)

Thus you shall do to them, for their cleansing: sprinkle purifying water on them, and let them use a razor over their whole body and wash their clothes, and they will be clean. (Num 8:7)

Problem is that most of you don't read to understand the bible very well, the most important of all even being baptism of the Holy spirit during pentecost

Baptism by sprinkling or immersion can both be done and neither of them makes anyone born again, being born again is by being christ like and not by any mere ritual, No wonder most who still claim born again, have almost had sexual intercourse with almost everyone in their choir.. Repent and accept the Gospel

Good day nairalanders,

Sorry I have to write this, I have decided to keep it to myself but, I decided to let it out.

Just like every other job seekers who are looking for jobs either to switch to a better pay or change environment.

Though I have been out of job since the COVID-19 pandemic started, I worked in a retail company, but since we have not been called back, I decided to search for job.

I saw an advert and decided to submit my application, just like every other people, luckily after one week or two, I got a mail that I have been shortlisted for their online test and after I pass, I will move to the next stage which is virtual interview before coming to their office to sign my employment letter.

After the mail, like 3 days I got a mail containing my ogin and password for the test, fiam, I opened and I did the test.

After like another 3days, I got a mail from them that I passed the test and i should be expecting a whatsap call from one of their head office in Europe.

Luckily I got the call, from one of the European country number from a Nigerian, believing is the call that would change my life forever.

After the normal introduction and other things like the job functions, the real bible questions started which I was able to scale through it.

Towards the end of the virtual interview, the last question was are you a born again Christian, have you been baptised and what denomination are you?.

And I said yes I'm a born again Christian, I've been baptised and I'm a Roman Catholic.

At the end of my speech his response was, is not possible to be a Catholic and be born again.

He said once you were not taken to the river to be baptised that's not a baptism.

Catholics are not born again Christians and I'm not baptised too just because I was not taken to the river to be baptised.

His last statement was, you actually have the experience but, we need other denomination not Catholic that the job entails somebody who is a real born again Christian.

That was how I lost the job, thinking today being my birthday, I will go to church and do special thanks giving.

Catholicism is not Christianity. Sorry that you got to know this the hard way.

I personally classify catholicism as a christian cult, regardless of its long history. There are too many deviations from the scriptures, just like Jehovah Witness or the Mormons, for it to be called Christianity.

So I assume the job is a Christian job, which you are not qualified for.
Re: How I Lost A Potential Job Because Of My Denomination by Powerfly(f): 8:20pm On Sep 13, 2020
You obviously quoted from the books of Ezekiel & numbers.. Which is the old testament.
When these ordinances you quoted where in practice, animal sacrifices and washing, sprinkling with blood and water was valid.. But all these ordinances pointed to the perfect and ultimate sacrifice of the shedding of the blood of Jesus for the remission of sins. These ordinances i mentioned have been modified by the TOTAL REDEMPTION PLAN OF CHRIST JESUS.
However.. Baptism by immersion is an outward demonstration of our inward faith. I never stated that baptism makes us born again. Just like taking the communion does not make you born again. By the way. I'm not born again yet. Yes! I am still a sinner. But that doesn't mean i should pretend that i do not know what is right and what the bible says.

I Believe the story. And i know they are right. You can't call yourself a born again christ and be frolicking in sin like me. No no. My mum use to say.. A sinner cannot be trusted. I rest my case.

You can make a case of discrimination on the basis of faith. Hope you recorded the call, even if you didn't you can get the call record from MTN and Co.

Gather all your correspondence with them as evidence. Get a good lawyer or go to the office of the Public Defender, Industrial Court, Consumer and Competition Protection Commission and sue them for a good amount of money.

Research their foreign connections and sponsors and petition them too. They may lose their sponsorship if it gets out that they practice this type of discrimination.

Don't let it go like that.

MTN records all customers conversation I doubt that's true cos that would be a breach of privacy

In as much as I want to believe your story, though not knowing the kind of job/company it is, they are very much wrong by believing that once you are a Catholic you aren't a born again. Born again is not judged by your denomination, it is a personal sanctification, which only God almighty know who is real or fake.

Immediately.. Peter commanded that they should be baptised. ( Acts 10 : 46 - 48).
The bible is truly written for our edification and reproof.

Yes to fulfil all righteousness remember Jesus said the same thing in Matthew 3:15. Dont get me wrong, I am not saying baptism is not right but nobody has the right to condemn any form of baptism. God himself showed us in that Acts 10 that water baptism is not important as the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Peter only asked them to be baptised by water to maintain the status quo.

If someone from Europe can be telling you that babe you better forget it and move on to another denomination, because catholic originates from Europe and they know everything about it.
Idol worshippers you say? then why do you make use of the bible? why do you observe xmas and easter? why do you worship on sundays? these are feasts and rules made by the catholic church which are being copied by you pentecostals and other denominations......ask yourself where did all these churches i see pulled out from? which church did the early christians went and which church has the full documentation with proof of how the life of early christians went? if you can get an honest answer,then you would stop calling catholics idol worshippers

Moreover,catholic has the highest successful organisations and charities owned by church,and they dont discriminate when offering jobs or charity aids.....ask any government health staff around you, who owns most of the charity organisations that sponsor general and child health care such as roll back malaria programs,meningitis prevention,HIV patients care,polio immunizations etc,they are owned by catholics and dont discriminate.Most of the staff in my secondary school and even the VP were non catholics even though the school was owned by catholic church,the same goes to the catholic tertiary schools and multi-hospitals in my area

For the Gospel of Christ to spread fast (Evangelism), we Christians need to utilise the power of denominations . We should use it to our advantage but we Christians are our own problem. We insults n condemn ourselves to the joy of non Christians thereby exposing our weaknesses. We now Play God by judging one another forgetting that God is God and he alone knows who is truly his. I don't even know if the Op is a Christian in the first place and the so called Christians are here displacing their ignorance to the pleasure of the Op. True Christians read and know their Bible and cannot be easily deceived by any Priest, Pastor, Daddy G.O. and even Atheist. I have friends, School mates, relations that are from different denominations and we relate and get along very well. Truly, this hate among Christians is doing us more harm than good and does not represents the teaching of Christ which is LOVE. Judgment day will really be a shocker to us all.

You should see this as a positive, and don't take it as a 'potential' job.

The interviewer was upfront with you and told you that, they do not need Catholics, you should be grateful that he was sincere and upfront with you. You should not want those, who do not want you period!

This is why it is good to be truthful, imagine lying and getting the job and you have to start pretending as someone that you are not, just to keep your job and be watching your back all the time or deny your Catholic faith. If you want deny your Catholic faith or be godless, do it on your own and not because of someone else or something else.

Your potential job will come, this was not.
