It was actually Young Anglican who convinced me to become an Anglican myself. I wanted a denomination that combined the Traditionalism of Catholicism with the Biblical Sola Scriptura of Protestantism while leaving the Communion table open to all believers of any denomination. Anglicanism fit that description and the ACNA keeps the conservative beliefs as opposed to the liberal Episcopalians.
Sola Scriptura is not scripture, it is opinion. That is why there is no actual reality of scripture being the final authority, and zero ability to determine or create a denomination truly biblical. They are a pastor opinion Church

Heretical prayer: O Mother of Perpetual Help, thou art the dispenser of all the gifts which God grants to us miserable sinners; and for this end He has made thee so powerful, so rich, and so bountiful, in order that thou mayest help us in our misery. Thou art the advocate of the most wretched and abandoned sinners who have recourse to thee: come to my aid, for I recommend myself to thee. In thy hands I place my eternal salvation, and to thee I entrust my soul. Count me among thy most devoted servants; take me under thy protection, and it is enough for me. For, if thou protect me, I fear nothing; not from my sins, because thou wilt obtain for me the pardon of them; nor from the devils, because thou art more powerful than all hell together; nor even from Jesus, my judge, because by one prayer from thee He will be appeased. But one thing I fear: that in the hour of temptation I may through negligence fail to have recourse to thee and thus perish miserably. Obtain for me, therefore, the pardon of my sins, love for Jesus, final perseverance, and the grace ever to have recourse to thee, O Mother of Perpetual Help. This is a legit Roman Catholic prayer, look up "O Mother of Perpetual Help" if you want to know if it’s legit. This is super heretical. This doctrine of invoking departed saints doesn’t seem just like "hey it’s like praying to a friend.".

I'm happy that so many people are becoming Christian! Welcome to Christianity! ✝❤ I'm Anglican and glad that our wonderful church is still growing! Young Anglican is spot on, I'm glad he is now one of us!
Fellow Anglican here. I also think the big tent approach of Anglicanism is the best. We are unified on the essentials, however allow room for disagreement on secondary issues. I find this approach is the best way towards real unity and mere catholicity.
Using sola scriptura how could you identify primary and secondary issues? Given the Bible makes no distinction between these supposed primary and secondary issues, it seems to be a tradition of man to add these distinctions.
@@Justin-yn5pyWe’re not 100% sola scriptura on the Methodist side but I think Jesus has a lot to say when discussing with the disciples and Pharisees about what’s key and what’s not. That’s just off the top of my head.
I'm an Anglican, I agree! :D For me at least, the only branch of Anglican that I don't agree with is the Episcopalians with their gay marriage that they for some reason allow, but yeah other than that I agree! I mean, I get the logic but Corinthians is kinda thing, y'know.
@@charless7653 In my church, girls can be priests. I think the definition of priest and pastor was changed or at least an equivalent was made. Officially they all are rectors here, but we call them priests because force of habit. Lol
Great conversation guys. It was helpful in understanding the Anglican position. As a Reformed (Classical) Arminian I sympathize with both parties. We are from the Reformed Tradition in that we hold the 5 Solas and the Reformed view of the Fall of Adam, Original Sin, and Total Depravity, Monergism, and are close on Perseverance of the Saints. But we differ from Calvinists in our view on the Scope of the Atonement, Election, and the nature and scope of Grace. We believe that Christ died for all, that God's grace draws all men to himself and that grace is resistible. By Grace, thru faith, in Christ alone. All glory to God. Love and Prayers from your friendly neighborhood Reformed Arminian brother 😎
Hello redeemed i just want to say thank you for making videos. Even though I feel like Christ has called me to be Catholic I truly appreciate your videos and dedication to Christ. May God bless you. Deus Vult!
Hahaha you’re not wrong. I like how you call them “crypto baptists”, basically the same idea behind most doctrine except baptism. In the PCA they would be paedobaptists and that would be to represent the new sign of the covenant for children of believing parents and I would now fall into the category of credobaptist. Other than that, we agree on just about everything else!
PCA is Paedobaptist, but doesn't have a fully Presbyterian view of baptism a lot of the time, because they often say baptism is just a sign that doesn't save
Its refreshing to see young people smarter than me, im 28 and here is proof of hope for the generations after mine im also a huge fan of a debater named saanvi you all give hope to the future of mankind. Also an uforunate fact of following christ is we get labeled as all kinds of different phobias. Which is fine labeling an opponent rather than a good faith debate is common in todays kind of politics and debate.
I think all the nonsense they teach in school, and the wickedness of modern teachers are turning kids (particularly boys) more conservative. We're already starting to see the tides turn.
Agreed! Redeemed Zoomer and Young Anglican are a beacon of hope! They are proof that Christianity will stay alive and strong! Not many Gen Zers are Christian, I wish more Gen Zers were Christian.
Interesting discussion on the Lord's Supper/Eucharist. As someone who was in the Anglican (CofE) church for over a decade, I have seen various attitudes to the bread and wine, from a high view which includes veneration of the Sacrament, to sliced bread torn in bits before the service and the leftovers thrown out. The conservative churches which stand firm on biblical truths (complementarian, biblical marriage etc) were the most likely to have the low view of the Lord's Supper. Many C of E churches don't have weekly communion, or certainly not as part of the Sunday service. But that, frankly, is the least of the C of E's problems.

In my opinion the United States is a secular Christian nation with freedom of religion the 1st President and father of our country George Washington was a Anglican/Episcopalian
Not all of these people who claim they’re Christian or who are Conservatives in the Political Sense are actually Evangelical Christian or even Christian in general, a good chunk of these people only say they’re Christian because their parents, grandparents, great grandparents, and ancestors were Christian. There are many people who are only Culturally Christian, Nominally Christian, or Diest who claim to be Christin for social or cultural reasons but in actuality are Atheist, Agnostic, Deist, Unitarian Universalist, Theologically Liberal (Liberal Christianity) and New Age Mystics, etc. Also, remember that the United States was NOT founded as a Christian nation, a good chunk of the Founding Fathers were Culturally Christian, Deist, theologically liberal, or sacrilegious heretics that syncretized Western Classical thought, American exceptionalism, extremist forms of nationalism and even in some cases White supremacy with Christianity creating a false religion called “American Civil Religion” by sociologists that on the surface looks like Christianity but in reality is very shallow and just co-opts Judaeo-Christian (Christian and Jewish) terminology for state propaganda. Most of these people described have turned America or their respective countries into a deity instead of focusing on Jesus, some people are turning America and Patriotism into an idol syncretizing it with Christianity. The evils and idolatry of American Civil Religion and Western Classics Civil Religion is seeping into many vocal American churches, this ideology needs to be cast out and rebuked. - Well a certain faction of Americans who call themselves Christian or even Evangelical Christian believe in heresy. Plus when they surveyed a certain bunch of Political Conservative so-called “Evangelicals”, a majority of them knew next to nothing about the faith they claim to believe in, but actually are either atheists or theologically liberal Mainline Protestants LARPing as Evangelicals or theological conservative Mainline Protestants because the Republican Party told them they’re Evangelical or Christian in general because they hold mostly Politically Conservative (even specifically social conservative) views while in reality their Theology is mostly Liberal (unorthodox and heretical) / theologically liberal. Most of them usually just check the “Evangelical” and “Christian” boxes or call themselves that only for cultural reason, because their great-grandparents/several family members were Evangelical Christians or Christian in general at some point, or they’re practitioners of Civil Religion (Western Classics Civil Religion/American Civil Religion) who are co-opting Christianity, Evangelical Christianity at that, to push a political agenda or social movement (especially among Political Conservatives).
Yes! George Washington was Anglican! I must say though, as an Anglican, I don't think Anglican and Episcopalian should be grouped together anymore. Episcopalian used to be great but when it allowed gay marriage and denied Corinthians a lot of people left it. So many people from US history are Anglican yes, we are an underrated denomination even if we're split in two. :/

23:47 okay as someone who is Free Methodist (although tbh zoomer i do agree with a lot of what u teach just not free will/predestination) aka Wesleyan (the free Methodist/Methodist tradition comes out of Wesleyan) i do believe in Santification. We as Christians should work to become more and more like Christ. Now in the view I was raised in that doesn't mean that we carry no sin into heaven as we believe that when we die and go to Heaven we are jusged immediately and what gets us into Heaven is whether or not we accepted Christ for our sins. IE a man/woman can accept Free Methodist salvation if u will on his deathbed and still be saved without having done santification. Santificatuon is for us to become more like Christ but it in itself doesn't save us as we believe in salvation by faith alone which i would argue is the biblical argument

@@brittoncain5090 Unless this _isn't_ about Mary, mother of God, it is extremely heretical. The first part is passable, but the second part is sheer madness. "In my hands I place my eternal salvation" UM... WHAT? If Mary was alive as you were saying such things, she would rebuke you on the spot. No person has the ability to grant eternal salvation, only Christ does that; nobody else can stand before the Father and say that your sins do not count against you but Christ. "Because thou art more powerful than all hell together" no human is more powerful than hell, only God is. Mary was a human, born of sin like the rest of us, but it was through her obedient faith that she birthed Christ, and she was saved by Grace through Faith in Christ like the rest of us. She is exemplary for the same reason the Apostles and Saints are exemplary, she dedicated her life to Christ, and never relented her faith, bore the pain and sorrow of watching Him die on the Cross, and stayed true to God's plan for her life.
just got to the young angie's comment about "allegedly Christians" and I gotta say, after watching a dozen or so zoomer vids and now seeing the young angie say that, there doesn't seem to be a lot of self-awareness between the two of them. very glad to see an interest in the things of God among the youth nonetheless, Lord willing it will continue with these.
How do you guys move past early Christian (1st- 4th century)being the same as catholic theology. Reading the apostolic fathers clearly illustrates transubstantiation being what was taught and also subservience to Rome
Also the Church fathers taught real presence, not necessarily transubstantiation. There is a crucial difference. The Church fathers did not explain exactly how Christ was present in the Sacrament. Transubstantiation was developed later.
I really love Mainline protestants who 1. Don't Fast. 2. Don't using affirmative prayers. 3. Don't believe we are responsible for what we manifest. 4. Wonder why mainline protestants have less and less influence on our nihilistic culture of young people and that our "civic aka: mainline protestant institutions need massive regeneration. Joel Ostend/Norman Vince Peele both are the closest and most accurate preachers of the Gospel.
Are further religious reformations possible for Abrahamic faiths or are they going to continue fracturing and specializing to niches of disagreement forever? Without a massive global crisis of faith, I doubt there'll ever be anything even remotely close to the old Councils, let alone any hope of reunification outside geopolitical gains. I don't even have a horse in this race. I'm just unsure how faiths are going to persist in spite of constant splintering.
1.) You are both literally knocking on the Peter’s door - so Holy Spirit, soften these good hearts and touch these beautiful minds - we need men like each of you - more importantly: Christ desires it and commands you to end the tantrum and come home, immediately. 2.) Mr. Anglican - Thank you for showing your sincere study of Catholicism- how rare it is to see a Protestant mention the Dogma of Non-Possibility of Disordered or Excessive Devotion to Saints (kidding - you know fallacies: run them and drop that shtick, obviously.) 3.) Marian Dogmas and pre-dogmatic definition - how and when and why does the Church define things? Does doctrine develop (Marian dogmas are not a development in the classical sense). you would acknowledge that Catholics teach non-Catholics can be saved (by Christ), so presumably you could rephrase the way you disfigure our Lord’s Bride’s infallible teaching regarding his perpetually virgin and sinless assumed Mother? Let’s speak rather of ordinary means of salvation, the relevance of the substance of faith to Christianity (protestants agree it matters too just not about how much or about what said substance is). Be of one Mind - obey the teachings of the Church 4.) Your epistemology exists so you’re not a sola Scriptura guy - don’t use as a crutch that which a fat German heretic mangled into a spear - think critically rather about how good Scripture is and how God decided to give it to the world (you are trapped in blue print thinking). 5.) This goes to you Anglican (when did they come to British Isles?! What matters is their hearts were in right place😐) but to anyone watching this and/or reading my comment - remember this - you are not the Supreme Pontiff, nor a Catholic Bishop (if you are - God bless you Holy Father or your Eminences and Graces - I stand filially before you earnest for correction) - God does not require - nor does He permit - you to decide ANY of the issues in this video for yourself or others. You have the freedom to trust that Christ who is Truth has placed over you and invites you into an Ark free from error until he returns.

Funny he states the "anglican stepping stone" I was non-dom, then did 6 months as a catechuman in the Eastern Orthodox Church, step stoned from that TO Anglicanism.
I’n watching this interview now 5-10- 24…I appreciate that like me as a former Jehovah Witness cult member, I am now a “redeemed Boomer” lay Calvinist ! In terms of credentials you two are more theologically astute than most evangelical lay church goers from historical to contemporary times ! I think we are like those in Berea: Acts 17:11 (ESV) [11] Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so. I am presently worshiping (as a nonmember) at a local Lutheran LCMS church in S. California with a 4th gen Lutheran as the Pastor, who allows our soteriology deferences but allows me to partake in communion because he thinks we are saved by grace as the fundamental born again doctrine…although he believes you can possibly loose your salvation- which I don’t as Jesus said in John’s gospel… John 6:37-39 (ESV) [37] All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. [38] For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me. [39] And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day.
There is no one “correct denomination” in my opinion, orthodox and Catholics always fight over who the true church is but as long as you join a non heretical church it’s okay
@@UninformedThinker Neither the Orthodox or the Catholic church is a denomination. There is only one church one teaching Christ established. The word “Catholic” is meant to be an adjective, not a noun. We are not a denomination which goes by the name “Catholic,” but are members of the Church of Christ who have a mission to bring the “fullness” of God’s plan to “all” people.
36:10 My first reaction to this is that in minecraft this is the wrong thing to do lol I guess I kinda just don't know what conservative Anglicanism is actually like because the only time I visited an Anglican church, the pastor preached something borderline heretical (denying the importance of the physical resurrection). However it was also the first time I took communion with wine instead of grape juice so I did appreciate that.
Regarding the different explanations for Purgatory, the councils and catechism only define that you must believe that there is a purification for some of people who died in a state of grace, and that these people benefit from the prayers of the church. However, the traditional view of the latin chur h was to treat Purgatory as a place with real and material fire, wheter a different abode of Hades like Hell, Bksom of Abraham and Limbo of Infants (St. Thomas Aquinas and Roman Catechism), or as a third place, which would be more in line with Divine Comedy and the view that stuck in the people's mind, which he might have encountered some traditional catholics who were strict on holding this view. It was definedin this way because there were disputes regarding this doctrine, so it was needed to establish and clarify the church position, but they didn' not exclude those who held a different view on the doctrine, but still affirmed the basic points of it. It is somewhat similar with predestination, where tou have different schools with different views like Thomism, Molinism and Congruism, but there are certain points that every school have to affirm in order to not fall into heresy.
My biggest problem with Anglicanism, which isn't addressed in this video, is the simple and undeniable fact of having a secular prince as head of the religion. That's the biggest distinctive, far bigger than any particular doctrine, and I have a real problem with that. The King of England isn't a man of the Church, and there have been times in the CoE's history where the king wasn't even an Anglican. It's too wrapped up in secular politics, far more so than the other reformations (which did mix church and state, albeit in ways I find more palatable). It leaves a bad taste in my mouth. And that's not even getting into the frankly embarrassing history of how that began.
Even in England, even at the height of royal power over the church, that wasn't really true. The king declared himself to have full authority as to the secular affairs of the church(property, intersection of canon law and civil law) as well as the appointment of bishops for a while(given their secular power this was seen as under the King's preview). The spiritual authority was Jesus/the bishops, and secular authority has no power outside of England itself

Episcopal used to be great and we both were the same but when Episcopalians allowed gay marriage a lot of people left and now it isn't as good as it used to be!
No one at all should be excluded from coming to a church as much as they want. As long as you aren't creating any problems within the church, you are welcome. This is Biblical. Now actually becoming a member of the church is different, and for that you should be held to a higher standard.

I'd say Anglicans have specific views within the 39 Articles and Book of Homilies. For instance, the spiritual presence of Christ in Holy Communion is clear.
"The Body of Christ is given, taken, and eaten, in the Supper, only after an heavenly and spiritual manner. And the mean whereby the Body of Christ is received and eaten in the Supper, is Faith. The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was not by Christ's ordinance reserved, carried about, lifted up, or worshipped."
@@sameash3153 They are also binding in my diocese in America. The Anglican view is clear, unless we jettison the formularies and open up a theological free for all (which seems to have occurred).
not clear enough to the point where plenty of Anglican divines have found that a more Lutheran view of communion can also fit within the articles, even more so in the liturgy of communion of the BCP which is arguably the more binding formulary. The articles allow for consubstantiation at the highest, and receptionism at the lowest. Memorialist/symbolic view is just unanglican
@@Gwoog55 Is it the Lutheran view that holy communion is "given, taken, and eaten, in the Supper, only after a heavenly and spiritual manner" by faith and that the wicked do not partake of Christ. I'm well aware that there are sophists who can argue anything from the articles (look at John Henry Newman), but the articles are the actual Anglican views, and the BCP conforms to them (they aren't in conflict).
