We have great examples of the Early Church as the Vaudois and Waldenses, and other pre-Reformation believers illustrate. In this presentation, former Roman Catholic priest (for 22 years) Richard Bennett and Pastor W.J. Mencarow clearly document the historical facts concerning the early Christian Church. This presentation includes graphics, maps, paintings & other visual aids.
Roman Catholicism and Christianity are not the same thing. Christianity is properly defined by certain doctrines that are revealed in the Bible. It is not defined by simply saying that as long as you believe in Jesus, you're a Christian. Mormons believe in Jesus, but their Jesus is a brother of the devil in the pre-existence. The Jesus of the Jehovah's Witnesses is Michael the Archangel. So, just saying you believe in Jesus doesn't make you a Christian. This is why the Bible tells us who Jesus really is, God in flesh, creator of the universe. Likewise, there are essential doctrines, and if any of those essential doctrines are violated, then a church would only appear to be Christian but not really be Christian. What are those doctrines? The Bible tells us. Let's take a look.
1.There is only one God and you are to serve no other gods (Exodus 20:3; Isaiah 43:10; 44:6,8) 2.Jesus is both God and man (John 1:1,14; 8:24; Col. 2:9; 1 John 4:1-4) 3.Jesus rose from the dead physically (John 2:19-21; 1 Cor. 15:14). 4.Salvation is by grace through faith (Rom. 5:1; Eph. 2:8-9; Gal. 3:1-2; 5:1-4). 5.The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus according to the scriptures (1 Cor. 15:1-4; Gal. 1:8-9). 6.God is a Trinity (Matt. 28:19; 1 Cor. 12:4-6; 2 Cor. 13:14)
