Both baptists and Catholics are going to heaven.

Now this is a good start. I will possibly bring in church history to help make my points, but that is beside the matter. I enjoy the fact that you first went to the bible. I happen to have the same version as you, so we shouldn't have any problems. Now, for the rebuttal. Phillippians 2:2 does indeed state that phrase "being of one accord." But what does this one solitary verse mean? To answer that question, I will look at the surrounding verses to Identify A) Paul's meaning in this B) and the intended message of this passage. Philippians 1:28-2:4 1:28 And in nothing be terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation and that of God. 29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; 30 Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me. 2:1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. This passage is not speaking about the "one church" but unity among believers in the city to which Paul was writing about. This does not indicate in any way that the Catholic church or any church, for that matter, is the one true church. Romans 15:4-7 For Whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. 5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 7 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God. This passage does indeed agree with one mind, one mouth. But it says to glorify God. Once again, no reference to a single church. 1 Timothy 4: 11-16 11 These things I command and teach. 12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 13 Till I come, give attendance to the reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of presbytery. 15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; That thy profiting may appear to all. 16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. This passage was giving advice to young Timothy. Child of two pagan parents, but a strong christian none the less. However, in the part where Paul states "Heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine..." What doctrine is he talking about. Is he talking about the doctrine of Christ, or the Catholic doctrine that had not even been conceived yet? I will come back to this passage later, but once again this passage is not talking about a church. Mark 11:22-23 And Jesus answering them saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed and be cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his hear, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. In your version of the bible, he says "Have the faith." Even translations disagree with you here. Jesus was speaking of faith in this passage and on until verse 26. Not that a specific interpretation of a yet unwritten bible was the correct way. Finally, for the scriptures in Acts, I must say that first, Baptists live under the statement by Jesus that "All fall short of the glory of God." And that Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the light. None may come to God except through me. Pastors are meant to be guides rather than leaders. There is no real structure to the Baptist church and Pastors are referred to as "reverend" or "brother". In the Baptist church, all believers are equal. They are free to help one another, including the pastor, along the journey to heaven. They believe in Faith rather than works and they believe in a personal relationship with God, which Jesus taught to the Apostles when he told them to pray to God on many occasions, namely the night before his arrest and betrayal by Judas (Mathew 26). All believers are believed to be filled with the Holy Spirit and it provides guilt when speaking against the lord and sinning, and it provides the believer of Christ with the ability to pray unto the Lord Father in heaven. In John 3:16, Jesus says "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that Whosoever Believe in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." This implies that the only requirement for reaching heaven is the belief that Jesus Christ died for our sins as the perfect Son of God, who had sinned but paid for our punishment in full and that we must follow his teachings. In this idea, no Christ believing and following person would ever be excluded, whether they be protestant or catholic. Both Catholicism and Baptism can work together to spread the love of Jesus and the need for a personal relationship with God. Even though Baptists don't need the priests or honor the authority of the pope, belief in Jesus is really the only requirement for their entrance into heaven. Both Doctrines believe that Christ is the key to heaven, so both can spread Christianity and fight out the details later. As Christ said, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not be damned (Mathew 16:15-16)." So why Condemn the Protestants to hell when you have the same goal- to spread the love of Jesus to the four corners of the Earth (metaphorically on the corners).
