If a Christian wants to marry a Catholic what must take place in order to have the wedding?
It is assumed that by Christian you mean someone who is not Catholic but is of a Christian denomination, as Catholics are Christians. If a non-Catholic Christian desires to marry a Catholic and vice versa the Church usually will not allow the marriage unless the non-Catholic party converts. In some situations the Catholic can apply for a dispensation to marry someone outside his/her Faith, but whether this is granted is ultimately up to the parish priest. For the dispensation to go through, the non-Catholic party must submit their baptismal record, must agree to have the wedding in a Catholic church presided over by a Catholic priest and agree that in the future they will not interfere with the practice of the Catholic faith of their spouse as well as agree that any children are reared Catholic. These restrictions are both to discourage mixed marriages as well as protect the faith of the Catholic party and its transmission to the next generation.
Which faith has baptism by immersion and Gods grace being sufficient for sin but then continuing to live according to His will till He returns to judge us?
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church has always taught that God's grace is sufficient to give us the strength to live out His Will throughout our lives. However, we must cooperate with that Grace and actually do His Will. To say we are saved, and then not live according to His Will is as St. James says: St. James 2:20-24: But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, offering up Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou, that faith did co-operate with his works; and by works faith was made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled, saying" Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him to justice, and he was called the friend of God. Do you see that by works a man is justified; and not by faith only?
