What's the Difference? // Week 4: Catholicism // Pastor Blaine Keene + Joe Antinone

Guiding Principle #1: We share much in common with Roman Catholic Christians, which can create bridges for connection and partnership. Guiding Principle #2: There is broad diversity in beliefs and practices across all Protestants and Catholics. Guiding Principle #3: There are significant differences between Protestant and Catholic beliefs that could impact a person’s salvation and sanctification.   Protestant Christianity Foundation #1: Sola Scriptura - “Scripture Alone” – The final authority for faith and practice is scripture alone. Protestant Christianity Foundation #2: Sola Fide – “Faith Alone” - Salvation is by grace through faith in Christ alone. Protestant Christianity Foundation #3: Solus Christus – “Christ Alone” – Christ alone is the sufficient mediator of the blessings of the new covenant.   Scriptures: 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Ephesians 2:1-10, Romans 3:21-25, James 5:16, 1 Peter 2:4-10
