About – evancat

Evangelical Catholics affirm:

• Salvation cannot be earned, it is a free gift. However, the evidence of good deeds indicating that one has become a committed Christian must then follow.
• There is only one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus (1 Tim. 2:5).
• The priesthood of all believers, which means that a Christian has direct access to the Father through Jesus.
• Scripture in its entirety (both Old and New Testaments) is the inspired, authoritative Word of God.
• The Eucharist (Mass) is not a repetition of Calvary. Jesus died once and for all. The priest and people enter into that one all-sufficient sacrifice by grace.
• All human beings are born into a state of separation from God as a result of the Fall.
• Heaven for those who accept the salvation won by Jesus and hell for those who die unrepentant for their wickedness.
• Jesus died on the cross in atonement for all sin, and in his death took the place of all sinners in bearing their guilt (Is. 53:6).
• Jesus will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead.
