He is a baptized Catholic, but has currently abandoned his Catholicism to join his wife’s church. In my estimation he needs lots of prayers.
I had to stop watching him because I could see the Mormon point of view creeping into statements.
Just my opinion.
To answer your question Is Glenn Beck saved— NO and a dependency YES. No, because he is currently living a Mormon lifestyle. Dependency on the YES because of his initial Baptism into the Catholic Church. But the Catholic Church does not believe in “once saved, always saved.” People sin every day. Glenn Beck needs to sit down with a good Catholic priest and have a llllooooooooooooonnnngggg talk and get his thinking straightened out.
Now I have a question. If he were to leave the Mormon Church and go to another church — Catholic or Christian, I don’t think it would matter.....what happens to his standing with the Mormon Church and all the perks that go with it?
Is this what you meant to say?
My dear friend.. We will disagree on this.. but Faith in Christ alone saves or delivers ones soul....in the Day of Judgment (John 1:12, Eph 2:8,9, Romans 6:23) not by any outward act… infant baptism.. etc.. I was raised Catholic etc... and was sincere in my practice but it was not until I started to read God’s word and saw that salvation is of Almighty God and not me… by faith in Christ alone (Eph 2:8-9, Rom 5:1). When Glenn or any one else trust God in this manner as the Bible teaches.. He will be saved. It does not matter what denomination he is in. If that individual gets saved then eventually he will leave that present denomination and find an assembly that teaches God’s Word.
10He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
11And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
13These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
14And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
15And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
(1 John 5:10-15)
I personally do not know what would happen to Glenn if he contradicted the Mormon church’s teachings…most likely he would get the boot..

He didn’t join his wife’s church. Glenn and Tanya joined the LDS Church at the same time.
