Not your pope wrote: At the end of the day there'll be Baptists and Roman Catholics left at the table discussing how to be more perfectly one
Baptists and the idolatrous Roman Catholic heresy are shedding pew fillers and pulpit pushers just as fast as any other denomination.
The sign of the times is that the "church" is dead. This is all too true of most of that which calls itself church today. Many many pew fillers wouldn't know the Bible from the back end of a bus. Many many of the preachers wouldn't know sin from a bicycle. Thus the churches which "survive" - if it can be called that - today are playing religious games in middle class societies.
As Jesus Himself teaches, "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." Even though these "many" today are quite convinced they are bound for heaven.
What the elect find today in church and society is that the trial and tribulation has taken on the aspect of an ever decreasing size of witness and true Bible doctrine knowing which reveals that truth is limited, the flesh is irreconcilable and election is contracted.
