Catholics, not the reformed, remember His Life, Death, and Resurrection DAILY at the MASS.
Our Crucifixes show him dying on the cross.
CHEAP GRACE IS THIS DAILY show of FAUX PIETY as the Comfy-chair proselytizers pat themselves on the back pretending to be in a mission field sacrificing their lives to spread the gospel.
This is an anonymous bulletin board. No sweat, no pain, no gain. To Pretend otherwise is SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS.
No man has any right whatsoever to determine any church has exclusive rights to Salvation or the Salvation message. Jesus clearly taught this....”what is that to you, you follow Christ”. “What does it matter...but that Christ is preached everywhere”.
There are many pew sitters in every church....unsaved. There are equally many who take communion and or attend mass who are not saved. “having an appearance of” only, yet their hearts are far from Him.
Attending Mass never has saved an individual.....nor partaking in communion. Although if the Gospel message is preached there may be some who respond, but that is the work of the Holy Spirit. He decides and knows whose heart is willing....not man...not a Pope...not a Pastor...and certainly not by the action of taking Communion.
Salvation leads to a relationship with Christ. It does not depend on rites or for that matter even attending a church. The church has always been intended for “believers”...to hear the message, to fellowship with others of like minds, to build up and encourage the believers.
One can wear a dozen crucifixion emblems but that does not make them Christian...(gang members love them)...Another can attend Mass every day and that does not make them more than religious if they do not have Christ.
You are mistaken to be critical of missionaries and the message they carry. We are all called to be so....this is commonly understood...... A church has on the inside and over the door archway a sign which reads as you leave the church.....”You are now entering the Mission Field”.... The moment our feet leave the church we have indeed entered the Mission Field.
