"The Patriot" is excellent as well.

I've been struggling with comments lately published that Mel Gibson as well as the male star (Jim Cavie__?) made that only Catholics could go to heaven?

This is apostacy!

Catholics can only go to heaven if they have what the Christians have,
a personal relationship with Christ following a personal experience of repentence and faith in Christ's sacrifice as sufficient.

How one walks after that "being born again" is flexible, Catholic, Christian either way, whatever.

But to say Christians can't get in heaven, only Catholics?!?!
That is apostacy and for that Mel Gibson deserves rebuke!!

Passion can easily reach $350 million, even $400 million is possible.

Mel Gibson said he "didn't know" if his Protestant wife would be saved and it came across to me as a sarcastic answer to Diane Sawyer's condescending question. Almost all the anti-Vatican II Catholic sects accept the "baptism by desire" doctrine that non-Catholics can be saved. This belief predates Vatican II. Even popes who were considered "reactionary" such as Pius IX and Pius X held this belief.

There is one sect founded by excommunicated priest Leonard Feeney that believes that there is no salvation outsided the Catholic Church. Feeney was excommunicated by Pius XII in 1953 and the order that he founded attacks many pre-Vatican II popes as liberal heretics in addition to the last four popes.

I was going to write out the names of the Pope's and the things they came up with for us that aren't catholic's. It's all in Halley's Bible Handbook. Names, dates, and places where the "orders" came from This is not a slam on all catholic's but we know what is required to go to Heaven, and that is a personal relationship with our savior, Jesus, the Christ. Please, this is not a slam on Catholic's, but the truth the popes have layed out for everyone through out the years. God Bless, KennyBob

If what you say is true, that indeed, Mel Gibson did make a statement that only Catholics can go to heaven, then he deserves rebuke.

Make sure of your source.

"Judge not lest you be judged."

Neither you or anybody else knows what's in a person's heart or what their relationship is with God.
