My goodness I thought I was a good convert:>)
There’s no such thing as a “good” convert or “bad” convert. Being a convert, by itself, is ‘good’. We all can get better, though!
Coming over at your request. I guess my next question based on your comment is on what authority do you take the teachings of the apostles and the content of what they taught except for what’s written down? And what apostolic teachings were written down prior to the Scriptures?
So would you consider someone who leaves the Catholic church and becomes a Baptist because he didn’t esteem Mary as the mother of the church to be “fallen away”?
