Re: What is the Difference Between The Roman Catholic Church & The Born Again Christi
The Roman Catholic Church was created by the mind of man using half truth's and whole lies. Being Born Again (or being saved) is a work of the Holy Spirit based on the truth of God's word and it is Christ through the Holy Spirit living on the inside of you.
What is the difference between the Roman Catholic Church and the Born Again Christian Community? 
Im just curious to learn more and find out about the differences between the two

Re: What is the Difference Between The Roman Catholic Church & The Born Again Christi
The Roman Catholic Church--->sacramental salvation, church salvation, heretical dogma, worship of bone fragments, hair samples, men and statues, Mary and more than one mediator between men and God...
Born Again Christian--->saved by grace, dia faith and the completed work of Christ, only one mediator between God and men, individual autonomous churches, cannot buy sins, lets the bible be the rule of faith and practice.....
One is true, one is false.....at the end of the day!

Re: What is the Difference Between The Roman Catholic Church & The Born Again Christi
Day and night.
Born again Christians know they are saved and have the witness of the Holy Spirit with their spirit that they are Christ's. Roman Catholics are never permitted to believe they are going to heaven as they are taught they will die with some menial sins to atone for. This necessitates they endure the fires of purgatory to atone for their sins. Born again Christians know that the blood of Jesus Christ atones for all our sins and none remain outside of His perfect atonement.

Re: What is the Difference Between The Roman Catholic Church & The Born Again Christi
I believe they are the only organization that says they have God on earth.... the Pope They worship statues which we are told not to do. Worship and pray to Mary who was human albeit blessed among women to carry God's Son she still was a human as we are. Confess sins to another man/human/priest and we only need to confess our sins to God.
They believe in purgatory, limbo, prayers for the dead to help them move along/out of purgatory other Christians believe either go to hell upon death or to heaven and some Christians believe death is as a sleep until second coming of Jesus when raised to life at that time. There are many differences....I don't know them all and not an authority. It is the Catholic system I don't agree with as I know many Catholic people who are lovely people and believe that Jesus is their Savior and don't agree with a lot of the church teachings.
I worked for a Catholic lady who was in her 90's at the time and she said that I talked about God like He was my friend I think a lot of times they are taught to fear God as in be afraid and I shared as best I could with her God's love. She has since past but we were friends and I cleaned house for her for four years.... a wonderful lady.

Re: What is the Difference Between The Roman Catholic Church & The Born Again Christi
Born again - phrase used by people who believe in a personal spiritual experience of spiritual transformation because of Jesus working in their lives and bringing them to faith. The emphasis is on trusting Jesus to save them from judgement and bring them to heaven through faith.
RC - A member of the church who goes through all the ceremonies and beliefs of the church with the aim of being allowed into heaven on their death. The emphasis is on being a member of the church.

Re: What is the Difference Between The Roman Catholic Church & The Born Again Christi
When i was first going into College There were some Born Again Christian Groups that invited me to have a Youth FellowShip or Bible Study as they say, And the ive agreed to join them because i dont really have something to do at that time and im afraid that they would felt dissapointed if i said no to them or something. And then after that Ive started joining them on their Youth Fellowship/ Bible Study, Other Activities Etc. And then a week after that, A Roommate Of My ClassMate Which Is His Close Friend In His College Dorm invited us to join them in their Prayer Meeting That Wednesday Night and then For A Bible Study At Friday Night Following By A Sunrise Prayer Gathering Early At A Saturday Morning, A Youth Fellowship By Saturday Afternoon And Then A Sunday Bible Study Following Shortly By A Sunday Service Worship And After That We All Get Together For A Sunday Lunch After Eating Sunday Lunch with them ive stayed around for more couple of hours before leaving that Night To Attend The Catholic Mass or The Holy Eucharist That Night, I mean, I Know That It Sounds Akward And All But Is It Okay For A Roman Catholic Attendant To Attend A Sunday Worship Service In The Born Again Christian Community And Then Afterwards Attend The Roman Catholic Mass Or Holy Eucharist Afterwards But Still Participate In Activities And Agendas Of The Born Again Christian Community In The Entire Week Or Vice Versa?

Re: What is the Difference Between The Roman Catholic Church & The Born Again Christi
The RCC worships its popes, its churches and cathedrals, Mary, and lots of things. It is club for men who enjoy power, money, and whole host of luxuries. They like nuns and little boys. Yep, perverts.
Christianity is of Christ, follows the teaching and life of Christ.

Re: What is the Difference Between The Roman Catholic Church & The Born Again Christi
Born again believers put their faith and trust in the Lord Jesus and His doctrine teaching for salvation.
The Catholic church places their denomination/own doctrines/and customs before the doctrine of Christ, as they add to the finished teachings of the Lord instead of just build off of them !!!

Re: What is the Difference Between The Roman Catholic Church & The Born Again Christi
Born again Christian mean a new born by Holy spirit.
Dont have Holy Spirit in the heart before. and Now have Holy Spirit as a boss in His live.
His life is change, the fruit of the Holy spirit start operate in his life, he has a love like never before. It doesn't mean he is perfect. It is learning process.
Catholic in the other hand. Not lead by the Holy spirit. it can be seen the way they pray,they pray to Mary, and other saint. and her teaching about purgatory, Mary able to talk to them though she is physically dead, not inline with the bible.
Holy spirit will inline with the bible.

Re: What is the Difference Between The Roman Catholic Church & The Born Again Christi
Roman Catholicism is a religion of works. You work to receive your salvation, and you work to keep it. You can never know, this side of death, if you are actually saved.
Biblical Christianity is a religion of grace through faith alone. You can know for certain, this side of death, that you are truly saved.

Re: What is the Difference Between The Roman Catholic Church & The Born Again Christi
Do you believe what the Roman Catholics believe about the Eucharist? Do you believe them regarding the real presence of Jesus in the bread and wine? If you believe that the mass is a re-crucifixion of Jesus Christ then you shame Jesus Christ.
Born again Christians worship a risen Savior. Roman Catholics show Jesus still nailed to the cross. How shameful is the death of the cross? Ought Jesus be subjected to open shame or should Jesus be glorified in His resurrection brightness?

Re: What is the Difference Between The Roman Catholic Church & The Born Again Christi
As the only Catholic who has responded to this question, I say, "Yes. It is okay for you to attend a Sunday worship service at another Christian church and then attend the Holy Mass afterwards or vice versa."

Re: What is the Difference Between The Roman Catholic Church & The Born Again Christi
OK...what you are really asking is "What does catholicism have to do with being BORN Again..as JESUS explained to NIcodemus" For some reason, "Christianity' , as defined by the world's standards, includes Catholic, Seventh Day Adventists, Presbyterian and all other denominations. However, keep in mind that God's idea of being a Christian is the fact that CHRIST comes first and foremost. His Son JESUS is to be praised, worshipped and surrendered to...because of the sacrifice that HE did for each individual on the cross.
Being 'Born Again" is an expression used in Christian circles to explain a real salvation experience, accepting JESUS as your personal Savior. Yes, there are "Born Again" people from all denominational backgrounds. Most true BORN AGAIN believers in CHRIST who live and walk in His Spirit, will find a 'church' that allows just that. Otherwise, there are plenty of 'churches" that suit all personalities. If you enjoy dull routine and dogma as part of a worship and praise service, there are churches that express that. If you enjoy a somewhat more open worship service, with a few testimonies, an occasional "Amen", and a specific time when the service is over....then there are churches that do that. If you enjoy singing praises, where the GOSPEL is preached, BIBLES are heard rustling as the pages are being explored and studied and the bulletin does not hinder the Holy Spirit from working...then there are certainly churches that utilize His presence and offer that kind of worship In Short, there are only 2 kinds of churches: The Happy/Clappy & the Frozen/Chosen...all depending on how the congregation decides to conduct it's WORSHIP services.

Re: What is the Difference Between The Roman Catholic Church & The Born Again Christi
I would never go to the point of saying someone in Catholicism (whatever form) is not saved full stop.. eg.. none of them converted.
There are many many people who believe in Jesus.. are converted.. and then for whatever reason get fed with false teachings.
This is not an unusual thing.
So there will be many Roman Catholics that are actually saved. Did get born again.
Obviously not because of the teaching of Roman Catholicism but because of Jesus independently convicting them of their need for eternal salvation.
But as far as systems of teaching go.. Roman Catholics and born again Christianity.. are like chalk and cheese.
Born again believers will ask someone.. have you believed in Jesus?
Roman Catholics would probably ask have you been baptised in the RCC?
Big big difference

Re: What is the Difference Between The Roman Catholic Church & The Born Again Christi
I know the teaching of Rcc are contrary to what it means to be born again. That is very clear. I dont think you get what i typed.
What im saying is people can be converted, born-again in spite of their teaching they receive.
Jesus convicts people of sin, the need for eternal salvation INDEPENDENTLY of what they are taught.
People can be converted without even anyone having shared the gospel of eternal life with them. All it takes is someone knowing they are a sinner and calling for eternal salvation
