Roman Catholics: Saved or Lost? (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781664209602)

Why is this book needed now? Until mid-20th century among evangelicalism the near unanimous view was that most Roman Catholics are lost due to their corrupted gospel. In recent decades increased numbers of big-tent evangelicals have begun to accept Roman Catholics as our brothers and sisters in Christ. Is this a remarkable achievement or tragic compromise? It is my position that it is a tragic compromise, therefore this book is needed NOW.

In Chapters One and Two a history of evangelicalism is provided demonstrating the changes that have occurred as well as a review of the most significant published documents manifesting these changes. These include such documents as Vatican II, Evangelicals and Catholics Together, and other post-1990's publications. Then summarized are the major factors that have contributed to this precipitous change - transdenominationalism, desire for visible unity, supernatural conversionism, cultural engagement, and decline in doctrinal clarity.

Chapter Three presents an exegetically based definition of the true gospel as penned by the Apostle Paul. In Chapter Four the Roman Catholic official way of salvation is summarized from their own documents, and it is DIFFERENT from that penned by Paul.

Based on decades of ministry as a church planter in the city of New Orleans, in Chapters Five through Nine I present from a "boots on the ground" perspective a practical "how to" regarding effective evangelization of "lost" Roman Catholics. With a God-dependent attitude and the application of this methodology scores, even hundreds, of dear Roman Catholic people came to understand and respond by faith to the Bible-based grace message that saves.
