Why God's elect are not churchians (Romanist or otherwise)

It's become a theme to state just why one isn't a Roman Catholic. The answers have been OK, but not practical. Here is the practical answer:

I need to be able to fight and defend myself in the spiritual realms. Spiritual warfare embarrasses churchians of all stripes, because so few are truly born again. When you are born again the devil and the world notices you. By default you are on the battlefield. You can't be born again *and* still reside in, for instance, Bunyan's Village of Morality where so many nominal Reformed Christians reside.

If you are in the Roman Catholic Church you are already in bondage to the darkness and death of the devil's kingdom. You can't fight the devil as a Roman Catholic any more than you can lift yourself up above the ground.

If Scripture (the real thing that has the authority of God in it, i.e. received, not constructed, Scripture) is not your authority or is a watered-down authority then you don't have the Sword you need to fight the forces of darkness that keep fallen man in bondage. If faith alone in Christ alone by grace alone is not your shield then you have no defense. Doctrine is armor of God. Doctrine effects your inner state. If your doctrine is the doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church then you have *no armor* to fight the devil, the flesh, and the world.

If you allow any man or institution to get in-between you and your King, Jesus Christ, then you don't have the necessary Mediator between you and God and you are still under the wrath of God.

If you don't give glory fully to God but follow a man who calls himself Christ on earth then you are still living under the internal tyranny of vanity, worldly pride, and rebellious self-will.

If you are in the domain of the Roman Catholic Beast church then as a spiritual warriour you are in the army of the devil by default, and your armour is made of cardboard and wax. Good luck.
