The Old Covenant was given to a patriarchal society through the law, of which circumcision was the seal of the covenant. Only the man had to be circumcised.
The Presbyterians somehow think that Baptism replaces circumcision, but they are wrong. If you follow the logic through, then all women would be excluded from the New Covenant. For the New Covenant is different than the Old. Under the New we are all equal--brothers and sisters in Christ, and we all enter in the same way--by faith. If baptism replaces circumcision, then logically a woman must be circumcised also--a practice I am sure that you don't advocate.

The title of this thread: Does the RCC teach the true Gospel/Jesus?
The answer to that question can be found in this article:
The answer is NO. The true gospel is not preached. The true Jesus is not preached. When "dialogue" is reached between the RCC, Islam, Jews, and Druze religions, then something is wrong. -

If baptism does nothing other than get you wet (the classic Baptist mantra), then why on earth bother with it?

The Lord's Supper,
Reading and studying the Word,
Daily prayer,
Loving the brethren,
Giving, whether to your church, missions, or to the poor.
In fact there is nothing salvic in any of the above, but they are all commanded in one place or another in the Word of God, most of them by Jesus Himself. -
Blessed are the peacemakers. -
As Christians we are to have no part or parcel (fellowship) with the powers of darkness. The point of the thread is: Does the RCC preach the true Gospel? The evidence here is no. No true believer would sit down with religious leaders like these and try to cooperate with them for any reason. My only reason to be with these people would be to win them to Christ. -

All of Jesus'works, acts or words are salvific.

Giving alms (a command that Jesus gave) is a work. It will not get you to heaven.
You may be sincere in your religion, but you are sincerely wrong. -
1) The list of things we were considering were works done by mere mortals:
The Lord's Supper,Undeniably, each of those things has its basis in the Lord Jesus Christ, some are commanded by Him, and He gave us an example to follow in others. But that is quite different to saying that such things are salvific, either in the sense that He saved sinners by doing them, or that sinners do them themselves in order to be saved.
Reading and studying the Word,
Daily prayer,
Loving the brethren,
Giving, whether to your church, missions, or to the poor.
2) Matt Black's question, to which I was replying in my previous post on this thread, asked: "Why do them, then?" Not: "Why did Jesus do them, then?"
