➡️ In today’s video, we will examine the Catholic sacrament of confirmation. Does it have its origin based on the Scripture or is it a doctrine invented by men leading people astray? Is confirmation necessary for “the completion of baptismal grace” and is it a “special outpouring of the Holy Spirit”?

I challenge you to read the Bible in Context (and in chronological order) that “He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God” (Ephesians 3:16-19).

I have Catholic relatives on my husband’s side of the family (my husband is not Catholic). I pray daily for their salvation. My sister-in-law once told me that she wished she could pray directly to God like I do, that all “good people” go to heaven, and that she doesn’t read or listen to anything that’s not Catholic. She also told me that she never reads her bible.

Yeah, who are they kidding with their damage control of their anathemas? Paul said if anyone preaches a different Gospel than what he preached, let him be anathema. So who is really anathema?

Keep up the great work! Keep speaking the truth in love, and may eyes be opened. God's blessings on you and your family. Take care.

I had no idea why I was making my confirmation. I forgot about that sponsor thing.

You're right, Patrick. I agree wholeheartedly that being in the Catholic church is like being in a cult. As I've mentioned before, I'm another ex-Catholic along with my parents and siblings. There is nothing like freedom in Christ instead of the bondage we experienced in Catholicism. God bless you and your ministry. 🙏

I refused my confirmation. My parents were furious. I was 14 and expected to pronounce my loyalty to the Catholic Church. I felt more like I would be letting the Catholic Church sink its claws into my mind and my pockets forever by being made to commit to it publicly. I don’t even remember any teaching about what it represented. But I didn’t like that idea at all.

The RCC is claiming that
Pope replaces Jesus
Bishops replace Holy Spirit
Mary replaces Father God.
Jesus, the Bishop of souls, full of grace and truth, conquered death and the grave, sits in the throne room absolving sins, is the 0ne given authority to provide eternal life 🎉

Lots of things idols IN PLACE OF CHRIST.

The Unam Sanctam quote is absolutely insane. I can’t believe I was in OCIA a couple years ago. And the director was like “God led you here!” And now I’m like….uhhh I don’t think that was God. 😖

When I was a kid, I went to Catechism classes on Saturdays. Here & there, I found some of their doctrine to be a little questionable. On one day, in preparation for Confirmation, I asked a question: what is confirmation?
Teacher: Do you know how if you buy an airplane ticket, you call the airline and “confirm” the reservation?
Me: Yes.
Teacher: Well, that’s what confirmation is.
Me: So Jesus is a travel agent?

I'm an ex- Catholic, would you get baptised again? Genuine question. Thanks

Don't be razled and dazzled by all the external pomp and show.
The catholics need..and are charmed by the luxurious decoration .. golden altars ..jeweled shrines of mary ...choice paintings .. stainted glass .candles. impressive ceremonies etc,... in their churches, but the teaching of Christ is burried beneath a mass of senseless traditions , and unbiblical rituals . They worship images , and relics ..statues and shrines of mary , praying to their own catholic church pope made saints , and the exaltation of their pope , are all devices satan uses to attract their catholic minds away from God and His Son .To Christians that worship in Spirirt in in truth (John 4:23-24) is what God seeks ...... NO catholic external decorations can enhance its true worth ..It is the beauty of holiness ,a meek and a quiet spirirt is of value with God ( 1st Peter 3:4) If catholics think they need these decoration to remind them of God ? ..then they are Certainly NOT led are filled with the Holy Spirirt ....
