...the reporter asked the star if Protestants are denied eternal salvation. “There is no salvation for those outside the Church,” Gibson replied. “I believe it.” He elaborated: “Put it this way. My wife is a saint. She’s a much better person than I am. Honestly. She’s, like, Episcopalian, Church of England. She prays, she believes in God, she knows Jesus, she believes in that stuff. And it’s just not fair if she doesn’t make it, she’s better than I am. But that is a pronouncement from the chair. I go with it.”

...and this guy — who clearly has no clue about the Biblical good news of Jesus — is telling us Jesus' story.

My concerns remain.

I wouldn't say no clue. For example, the recent move, The Gospel of John, was put together by a committee of not-exactly-orthodox "scholars" who, on the bonus disk, denied the Resurrection, denied the authorship of John, danced around His deity, and late-dated the Gospel as a product of redactors. Yet the film got great reviews and high praise from conservatives.

You know how the saying goes, if God could use a talking donkey,....

I believe that God has raised Mel up for this purpose. Mel could just be at the beginning of his spiritual journey. Apollos obviously needs to explain some things to him. Bottom line for me: The culture needs this message.
