Rome Has it Backwards -- Again!

The Catholic Church takes an especial delight in perverting bible truth. One such example is seen each “Lenten” season, as this is the time of year the “Church” receives into its fold those adults who knowingly consent to become Catholics.

The Romish service performed to bring in these new Catholics is called the “Rite of Election.” And – they are called the “Elect.” Their names are even written into a Catholic “Book of the Elect.”

These people are Elect? Nothing could be further from the truth!!

The truth is – those who are God’s Elect flee from the Catholic Church – exactly the opposite of what Rome says! The only thing anyone proves by joining the Catholic Church is that he is NOT among the Elect.

So......what is biblical election? It is the act of God by which, before the foundation of the world, He chose in Christ those whom He graciously regenerates, saves, and sanctifies (Eph 1:4-11, Rom 8:28-33, 2 Thess 2:13, 2 Tim 2:10, 1 Pet 1:1-10).

Jesus said in John 10:27: “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”

Please continue to pray that God bring His Elect out of the sin of Catholicism, and into saving faith in Christ ALONE for the forgiveness of sins and eternal life.

Thank God for His blessed, electing grace!
