Zone1 Are Catholics not also Christians?

13 of 14 say yes!
Good to see!

That means there is at least one Christian bigot or pharisaical in the group.

but is Christian not a cover all term for Protestans and Catholicsvalice?is

Many Roman Catholics and Charismatic Catholics ask to be given the Holy Spirit and they indeed are given the Holy Spirit.

On the other side of the question a Baptist pastor had a near death experience in 1979 and was shown that only about two and a half percent of us can make it into heaven immediately at our deaths.

I believe that this is a warning for all of us all across the denominational spectrum. We all need to have a personal relationship with the Jewish Messiah who truly is the Savior of humanity.

However your pastor didn't stay long enough on the other side to gain clarity. He was still protected from the imposition set forth by the transition by his strong beliefs. He was still seeing what he wanted to believe in. It's a common mistake.

Yes but like everything else there are extremists ( on both sides ) that believe they are the only " true " or " real " Christians. So when you see these words words being used. You are most likely talking to an extremist.
