“WHAT
AUGUSTINE BELIEVED
(354-430 AD)”
aka the first Calvinist
The
Roman Catholic church was moulded by Augustine into the form it has
ever
maintained and is considered the father of the Roman Catholic church.
1.
Infant baptism
for regeneration – infants who die
unbaptised are damned
2.
The
necessity of water baptism for the remission
of sins.
3.
Dying a martyr
is as good for the remission of sins as
water baptism
5.
Salvation
can only be found in in the Roman
Catholic church alone through its sacraments
6.
Persecution
is acceptable against those who reject
Catholic dogmas
7.
Augustine
accepted the Apocrypha as being an
integral part of the Bible.
8.
Allegorical
(not literal) interpretation of
the Bible eg
creation was not in six days
9.
Rejection
of the
literal personal reign
of Christ
on earth for
1000 years.
10.
We
are now in the millennial reign of Christ with the
church
reigning and the devil being presently bound.
11.
Believed
in the direct Apostolic succession
from Peter down to the current Pope
12.
Church tradition is just as important,
if not more, than the scriptures
13.
Believed
in loss of salvation
14.
Need
the last rites before death by a priest
15.
Need
to have confession of sins at the confessional
…
and the Calvinists love him as he formulated the TULIP blasphemy!
