Dear KeLs,
If you are not saved, then you are lost. You might want to do something about that.

Greetings Kels the Catholic,
Baptism is good, everyone should do it. I know I hold to the old fashioned beliefs of baptizing my babies as soon as I can. I can't say that I've ever heard of the 'Key of David' but I do feel sorry for you. I have seen shows that sound like they're similar and truly it makes me angry...and ill. I cannot stand false, ignorant idiots proclaiming the 'word of GOD' when really they just want your money, and you as a number in their 'collection of souls'.
I assume that you have no problems with Catholicism, that it is other denominations that are giving you hell. If I formed a new church, I would be the head of it...I would be THE POPE. But over all, there would be equality among all of mankind. All preaching the same message of love, loyalty, trust, and truth. I agree with keeping principles - religion shouldn't be a complicated mess of LIES, it should be simple. Believe in God with a childlike trust. There should be three rules 1) Love the Trinity 2) Trust in God 3) Love everyone with tolerance and acceptance.
I went to a horrible private school where what they preached was not what they practiced. They were horrible bigots who tried to tell me that I was wrong, sinful, and burning in Hell. Mainly they did this because I DEFENDED the Catholics in my classes. I am sorry for the hardships that you have suffered, mine have made me bitter against Baptists and other Protestants. I can only hope that you will stay strong in your own beliefs and not allow yourself to be corrupted by ignorant fools, preaching of which they do not know. God Bless.

Baptism doesn't save you, you should know that. The Catholic belief is that it removes original sin. The religions that say you must accept God basically say that you save yourself, and that's wrong too. But if God accepts us, then baptism simply becomes a fulfillment of his covenant with his people, marking them out for salvation even though some will fall away from the faith due to broken promises by parents and a congregation that is fallible.

Honey, just because you're baptized doesn't mean you're Born Again. Read John chapter 3. Part of being Born Again is following Jesus' commandments. It's not an option for the Christian.
We don't need a "new church" -- we need true Christians who are willing to be obedient.

That is a nice thought, but Jesus is God. He is much more than love...He is jealous too. We should take that into account as well. People need the truth, not just the sugar.

Umm Catholicisim isn't that bad now and you should know since you are a current Catholic. Don't start another denomation because some kid on Answers was talking about David oddly.

Read this Kels:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9-10

"god loves you, he died 4 you"
How can God die? So much for all-powerful? God doesnt need us, so why die for us?
What you said agrees with Friedrich Nietzsche concept of "God is dead", clearly an athiestic mentality.
