There IS a departure from the true gospel...

"Establishing the Authentic Gospel is based on Richard Bennetts own 14-year search for the true Gospel as a priest, including, in particular, his struggle with man-centered Evangelicals. Citing names, Richard gives examples of humanistic ways in which modern Evangelists give a so-called gospel. These illustrate the wholesale departure from the true Gospel that is taking place in the modern world. Permeating Richards address is the Lords invincible Gospel"

God..awaits their choice.

Sunday October 7th 1990 I came to a full assurance of faith by God's Sovereign grace & went to my nearest church. The first hymn 'Blessed Assurance Jesus is Mine'-hot tears fell onto my hymn book-the only occasion I heard gospel truth in that ecumenical Methodist church. Mentioning the blessing of Ephesians 2: 8 I knew then I was living among the dead. Next the local Billy Graham style FIEC where they enjoy fellowship with the local RC priest-grace moved me-to depart. In 1 year I went from a JW Kingdom hall- saved by grace- ecumenism- neo-evangelicalism to understanding the doctrines of grace. God doesn't leave his own in the midst of apostasy.

"The Bible, God’s written word is the inerrant and infallible authority against the apostasy of the Catholic Church and against her false gospel"

Against every apostate church and every false gospel!

Today I read the article above by Richard Bennett former RC priest, then this video of his finding the authentic gospel. View them GG!

YOU KNOW...Most people warming pews in our Reformed Churches dont understand justification either, so? I dont hold Catholics to a higher standard than my own people,

Maybe your reference to 'my own people' is because they are the ones warming the pews because of your own faulty teaching? No RC has gospel PEACE!

Justification by faith alone is not taught by any RC, so you can never furnish us with one example of such a present day HS led RC teacher.
Please do so or resist informing us all of RC Christians. Sadly, mere pew warmers lack the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Does the Holy Spirit guide you to an understanding of Holy Scripture- why not a RC? You KNOW full well that there are untold numbers of RC's who when regenerated have left the priesthood or the RC pew. Why? Because of their superior brains or because of the SPIRIT OF TRUTH?

Good articles and while our Reformed values are shared, our expectations are different. Can I guess that you have a postmill eschatology? Being Amill,

Can you tell me where I find RC Christians who believe in the biblical truth of justification by faith alone?

They don't exist, do they?

No I am not postmill, but that isn't relevant to my question.

If one is a RC and does not believe in justification by faith alone then they have nothing in common with any Reformer or indeed the gospel.

How can a RC be Christian IF they reject such? As the RC institution rejects justification by faith alone it can not be Christian.

You say that there are RC Christians. I ask you to point me to one who believes in justification by faith alone, then we can find out why they remain in that institution despite what even the old Church of England article calls: blasphemous fables and dangerous deceits.

My RC friends act very much like those here when I preach against their error. They get upset. They seem more convicted than hostile though, but that might be because I am in front of them

Do they become 'convicted' and leave Romanism or do they just always deny what the Bible teaches? You didn't really answer?

Do you personally 'really' believe in justification by faith alone? If not, your preaching will be of no avail as you can not be preaching the gospel of Christ to these 'friends'.

What do you think of the article below

I am not a Roman Catholic, do think they need more reform, but consider them Christians

Steve

How do you answer my earlier post?

Where are your RC Christian friends and how do they react when you clarify what Rome teaches about justification by faith alone and what your Bible teaches?

Your friends would be excommunicated if they held to justification by faith alone, yes?

What a blessing
47 million Christians agree with me and John for Jesus, there are Christians in the Roman Catholic Church despite some theological differences

Here is your dilemma Steve.

Council of Trent: Canons on Justification

You need to be familiar with the above BECAUSE it will show you can not be a Bible believer and a Roman Catholic!

If you disagree with the Council of Trent then you can not be a RC for you are damned say your Popes and Cardinals and Councils!!

Read what Trent says about JUSTIFICATION and see what THE BIBLE declares

You are therefore a Roman Catholic OR a Bible believing Christian!

When a Roman Catholic is converted they become a Christian and the Spirit of God brings them out.

So what do you say Steve? Are we who believe in justification by faith alone cursed? No Roman Catholic can hold to that doctrine according to RC Popes and Councils.
