Many argue that a simpler faith without lots of theologizing is closer to true Christianity. Mark explains why that is not necessarily so.

Questions Covered:

07:50 - I think theology harms faith. There are so many false theologies. 

22:27 - I think that theology is important to faith. I was an agnostic and was unbaptized. I was first led to faith through the Episcopal church, but theology helped me to find Truth in the Catholic faith. 

33:00 - Theology classes, depending on who teaches, can be very harmful. It can even cause a person to lose her faith. 

49:12 - I think theology has the potential to harm faith.

Questions Covered:

 

17:28 - What is the real difference between a baptized and non-baptized person? 

22:55 - If I baptize my son Catholic and someday, he chooses to leave the Church, what will happen to him? Should we wait to baptize him until it is his choice? 

34:31 - How can a Baptist baptism be valid if they don’t believe a baptism is regenerative? 

37:22 - How can an infant repent and be baptized?  

45:23 - Is there any way to baptize a baby spiritually if the parents are not baptizing them? 

51:49 - Does a convert have to get rid of the “once saved, always saved” belief when they are baptized Catholic?

Scientism and secular progressivism "hate" dogma, but have as many dogmas as Christianity. The problem is they're not as rational.  In truth, what fuels these movements is not a hate of dogma, but of Christianity.

Galatians 5:22-23 (NABRE) In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law ... and Heather added a few gems like humor, forgiveness, and gratitude! The Holy Spirit offers us many gifts, we, however, still need to cooperate with them to see their fruits in our lives.
