Salvation is not a mystery.

Eternal life belongs to those who repent, believe in the true Christ, and are transformed by Him.

Choose Christ today.

Some say, “We can’t know someone’s eternity.”

But Scripture says:

• “You will recognize them by their fruits.” (Matt 7:16)
• “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life.” (John 3:36)
• “If anyone preaches another gospel, let him be accursed.” (Gal 1:9)

We must speak truth plainly.

If you’re Catholic and reading this:

My heart is not to wound you, but to plead with you.

You don’t have to wonder where you’ll spend eternity.

Repent and trust in Christ alone today.
(John 6:37, Acts 16:31, Eph 2:8-9)

5.Allowed Himself to be Worshiped

Acts 10:25-26 — Peter refused to be worshiped: “Stand up; I too am a man.”

The pope allowed bowing, ring-kissing, and titles like “Holy Father” (Matt 23:9).

Robbing God of glory is a serious offense (Isaiah 42:8).

4.Trusted in Religious Rituals Instead of Christ

Matthew 7:21-23 — Many will say “Lord, Lord” but be told, “I never knew you.”

Popes have emphasized sacraments over saving faith.

Religious deeds do not save. Only Christ does.

3.Led People into Idolatry

Exodus 20:4-5 — No carved images, no bowing to them.

Catholic tradition promotes veneration of statues, saints, Mary — crossing into worship.

Revelation 21:8 says idolaters will not inherit heaven.

2.Claimed Christ’s Titles

1 Tim 2:5 — “There is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”

The pope called himself “Vicar of Christ.”

Accepting titles that belong only to Christ is a rejection of Christ’s exclusive role.

1.Preached a False Gospel

Galatians 1:8-9 — If anyone preaches a different gospel, let him be accursed.

Catholicism teaches salvation is faith + works + sacraments, not grace alone (Eph 2:8-9).

Promoting a false gospel cuts off from salvation.
