Recently, a Protestant named Ryan from Needgod.net poked fun at one of my comments on salvation. And he also criticized Michael Knowles and Matt Walsh on the question of whether you can know for sure that you'll go to heaven. That's not Christianity, my friends.

Baptism, avoiding mortal sin, going to a man in a box,

attending mass every single week, plus more. I think we need to get rid of this word not. That's
