A clear call to biblical separation from Papists and "Protestants" (the harlot daughters of Rome, see Rev. 17 & 18) who teach and practice Roman Catholic doctrine.
Richard Bennett is an former Romanist priest who has become a Calvinist and here demonstrates the advantage he has in rebuking wayward Protestants as they fall into Romish errors regarding salvation (e.g. justification) & worship (e.g. baptism).
Focusing on the backsliding of men like Chuck Colson, J.I. Packer, John Stott, Pat Robertson, Bill Bright (Campus Crusade) & others (like the two Jesuits) who signed the Evangelicals and Catholic Together (ECT) documents, he shows how these men are upholding Antichrist (the Papacy) and the teaching of the (Anti-Reformation) Council of Trent.
This message will also help to refute the Romanist heresies (on justification, assurance, baptism, the church, etc.) of the New Perspectives on Paul (NPP) movement as recently proclaimed through the Auburn Avenue Pastors Conference (AAPC) or Federal Vision, including Doug Wilson, Steve Schlissel, Steve Wilkins, John Barach and others.

Insightful! Ponder this quote from Charles Haddon Spurgeon.
There has been spreading, in this country, and in other lands also, the idea of universal salvation; and, mark you, wherever that doctrine spreads, vice must and will spread as the natural and inevitable consequence. When men are taught to believe in ultimate universal salvation, their immediate and legitimate inference is, “Then we may live as we like, and all will come right in the end;” and they will live as they like, but all will not come right in the end! -Charles Haddon Spurgeon
What Charles Spurgeon was saying is that the false doctrine of inclusivism inevitably produces antinomianism. In today's inclusivistic churches and ministries, like the World Council of Churches, the Vatican, and many other liberal evangelical organizations, the Biblical Doctrine of God being The Righteous Judge is "unloving".
We must not compromise with inclusivism (the highest form of apostasy) for the sake of "universal harmony". Remember, evangelicals who promote inclusivism will give an account to The Lord for the destruction of souls caused by the false doctrine of inclusivism.

Great Sermon! Greetings,
I really enjoyed the sermon. Especially since it came from someone who has lived it. We tend to give attention to that. Praise God for Pastor Bennett.

Excellent Superb & sober presentation. If you study Roman Catholic doctrine, you will see that speakers such as Mr. Bennett are NOT exaggerating.

Great Sermon! Anyone who would betray his first love will betray the second.
Richard Bennett spent twenty-one years as a RC priest in Trinidad, WI. After a serious accident in 1972, he began to study seriously the Bible. After fourteen years of contrasting Catholicism to Biblical truth, he was convicted by the Gospel message. In 1986, he saw that...
