From Antichrist to Brother in Christ
[From Antichrist to Brother in Christ Proclaiming
the Gospel Ministries] "More than half of evangelical pastors say Pope Francis
is their brother in Christ. More than one-third say they value the pope's view
on theology, and 3 in 10 say he has improved their view of the Catholic Church.
Those are among the findings of a new study of 1,000 Protestant senior pastors,
released this week from Nashville-based LifeWay Research. Overall, the survey
found that many Protestant pastors have taken a liking to Pope Francis.
Nearly 4 in 10 say the pope, known for his humility and concern for the poor,
has had a positive impact on their opinions of the Catholic Church. Almost
two-thirds view Pope Francis as a genuine Christian and "brother in Christ."

[Mike Gendron Comment] This is why we receive so much
"friendly fire" from evangelicals and why we must continue to expose the false
and fatal gospel of Roman Catholicism. The stunning statistics reported by
LifeWay Research are the tragic results of all the unity accords signed by
highly visible evangelical leaders. Most evangelicals do not know if the Roman
Catholic Church represents a huge mission field that needs to be evangelized or
a Christian denomination made up of brothers and sisters in Christ. By God's
grace, we will continue to make the truth known and encourage evangelicals to
reach out to those who are on the broad road to destruction." Pro-Gospel.org
