please tell me the difference between catholics and baptist. There both christians right.?

Answer 1

"What separates us as believers in Christ is much less than what unites us." (Pope John XXIII)

Almost all important doctrine is completely agreed upon between Catholic Christians and other Christians.

Here is the joint declaration of justification by Catholics (1999), Lutherans (1999), and Methodists (2006):

By grace alone, in faith in Christ's saving work and not because of any merit on our part, we are accepted by God and receive the Holy Spirit, who renews our hearts while equipping us and calling us to good works.

There are many minor doctrine issues and some major cultural traditional differences which, I believe, do not matter that much.

A Catholic worships and follows Christ in the tradition of Catholicism which, among other things, recognizes that Christ made Peter the leader of His new Church and Pope Benedict XVI is Peter's direct successor.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

Here to the best of my understanding is the difference between catholics and baptists,catholics are the traditional roman church that is talked about in history pretty much the first organized christian church,while on the other hand baptists are here from what happened several centuries ago known as the reformation by martin luther which caused a split in christianity and he started his own branch of the holy word called protestants and then from that point on every person with differing beleives in the christian faith has made there own branches throughout history such as baptists,mormons,methodists,7th day adventists and all the other crazy christian faiths.but if you dont beleive me look it up the truth isnt that hard to find out on this matter.

Answer 3

No short answer here. I grew up a Free Methodist which uses the same catechism as the Catholics do. My family has many Baptists. Boy is there a difference! TNT (to numerous to count!) By the way, you can SAY that you're a Baptist and not actually be a Christian. Same with any denomination. Belonging to a particular church does NOT guarantee a trip to heaven.

Answer 4

Catholics consider themselves seperate from all other Christian religions. Baptists fall under the larger group called "protestants". Catholics believe that the Pope was directly Chosen By The Apostle Peter, down the line to todays Pope.

Answer 5

Both sects are based on Christian beliefs but not all the members of either are Christians. To be a Christian requires a faith that Jesus is God that he was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life was crucified and died in our behalf, and because of all this we can be recreated as children of God. The main difference is that Catholics are liturgical and Baptist are casual.. Jim

Answer 6

Yes, they are both Christian faiths. The majority of Baptist believe in "once saved always saved." Baptist do not believe in confession. The baptist faith places more creed in Jesus & God, and not The Holy Mother Mary.

Answer 7

They are both Pagans. The true faith of YHVH is not in Churchianity. Catholics honor the pope. Baptists understand that baptism is by immersion. The Almighty YHVH created this world very good. Once man sinned, he could no longer meet the requirements of YHVH. Because of His great love for man, He sent His son the Savior. The Savior's name means YHVH is my Savior!--YAHOSHUA! The only way one can have his sins taken care of is to invite the Savior in to carry them. If a person chooses to remain attached to their sins, they will be consumed in the cleansing fire the Almighty will send to cleanse this world so He can make it new! How could the Almighty be more generous?

Answer 8

Yes, but baptist don't believe in sacraments or have saints. They don't have priests or statues in their churches and I don't think they baptize babies. Catholics have a whole different tradition which includes the eucharist, firs communion, the last rites, and confesion. They're both Christian religions but have different ways of worshipping.

Answer 9

Baptists tend to follow the Bible, Roman Catholicism is more about following what they want to believe based on "traditions."
As an ex-Catholic, I would say that few Catholics are "born-again", not as many as there would be baptists anyway.

Answer 10

I am Baptist and I believe Jesus is the only way to heaven. I believe one must be saved. If Catholics believe that then yes they can be saved as well.
