Answer 3

Will you be stopping by for a quick chat or to check out the religion? I'm Roman Catholic and an old-fashion one, so even if you dropped by my town, we'd travel to a few towns away for a more traditional church. I was brought up in the Latin Mass and would love to continue it, but travelling to a parish where a regular mass is held in Latin is few & FAR between. Although Pope Benedict has said the Latin Mass is to be embraced by the Roman Church, he should have made sure that the American priests were even willing to LEARN the mass. As it is, although it is now considered "ok", good luck in finding a steady Latin Mass in a parish. For those of you out there that were either brought up in it and loved it, they still exist but are not easily accessible from or for all. Guard Dog

Methodist, Anglican, Catholic and what have you ever are non secular homes and non secular human beings. some might want to correctly be authentic christian. there is in worry-free words one Christian Church and this is call the body of Christ beside many different references,; for instance: The Temple of God, The Bride of Christ and Zion-the recent Jerusalem. there is in worry-free words one individual who's construction God's Church-The Holy Spirit it is also the Spirit of Christ . Believers are only channel and conduit for God's Holy Spirit to flow via to do His Will. even as The Lord Jesus is for sale interior the midst of His brethren on the appointed time, a number of those non secular and so observed as guy's church homes will be out of date and remember no extra.

Answer 6

As far as the Visible Church, I belong to the LCMS (Lutheran Church Missouri Synod). I make this distinction because although they call themselves Lutheran, the ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church of America) has by it's own doctrine & practice excluded itself from the true Lutheran Church which holds to historical, biblical (unchanging), written Confessions.

As far as the Invisible Church I am part of the Catholic or Universal Church, but not Roman Catholic. I am called a Protestant, but it is my opinion that this is a misnomer as standing on God's Word alone as the ultimate authority is not protesting, it's merely standing on God's Word. It was the Roman Catholic Church who 'protested' against God, His Word & the historical Christian Church far before the 1500's which made the Reformation movement necessary. I am not considered Reformed, although the word 'reformed' is a better description for me than Protestant.

(Ironically, by and large Reformed Protestant denominations return to the errors of the Roman Catholic church via the back door, because they--historically militantly--threw the baby [God's clear & exclusive means of grace--Word (Bible: Law & Gospel) *AND* Sacrament (Holy Baptism & Holy Communion as prescribed by Christ Himself)] out with the bath water, when they protested.)

Lutherans actually were the first Evangelicals. The word 'Evangelical' has come to mean something very different than it has meant historically. It is a word derived from the Greek for 'Gospel' & during the Reformation was set in contrast to 'Reform' (Calvinist). If you weren't Calvinist ('Reformed'), Roman Catholic or Orthodox you were 'Evangelical' (today 'Lutheran', but 'Lutheran' was actually a derogatory term during the Reformation).

Confessional Lutherans are actually more in line with historical Orthodox Christianity than those who call themselves 'Orthodox' as the Orthodox Church at many important points followed the Roman Catholic Church in their gross protest against the Reformation rather returning to the biblical teachings of the Church Fathers some of which were taught directly by the Apostles.

This then makes true Confessional Lutherans also Apostolic. This is evidenced by the fact that they openly accept the Apostle's Creed which is derived from the Bible (the teachings of the Apostles).

Answer 7

The church described in the New Testament.

A church that tries to speak where the Bible speaks, be silent where the Bible is silent, do Bible things in Bible ways and call Bible things by Bible names!

A church that wears the name of its owner and builder. A church that has a scriptural name. If something is scriptural, then it must be in the scriptures. The name of the church I belong to is in Romans 16:16 (in its plural form, but if more than one is called "churches", then one would be called a "church".)

Answer 8

I'm a Confessional Lutheran, Lutheran Church Canada.

Roman Catholics consider us protestant.

In doctrine we are both Catholic and Evangelical Christian at the same time. It sounds like a paradox, but it works in the light of Scripture.

Addendum: Sakurachan's answer is far better than mine.

Take her advice and read Vieth's Spirituality of the Cross, it's one of the best books you will ever read.

Answer 11

I joined a Lutheran community over a year ago. But I think I'm ELCA and not Missouri. I'm not sure what implications that has for my salvation! But they have great desserts :)

I was raised as a Roman Catholic.
