In this video, I respond to Pastor David Rosales of Calvary Chapel Chino Valley, who recently questioned whether Catholicism is truly a Christian faith. While Pastor Rosales shares a familiar story of leaving the Church because he "never heard the Gospel of Grace," the statistics in his own backyard tell a different story.

​We dive deep into the massive 150% growth of the Catholic Church in Los Angeles, the biblical reality of Baptismal Regeneration (1 Peter 3:21), and the "Thief on the Cross" fallacy. Is grace a "cheap legal transaction," or is it the supernatural power of God that moves us to a holy life?
​Stop settling for a simplified, fragmented Gospel.

It’s time to come home to the fullness of the Faith - the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church that gave the world the Bible and continues to hold the physical presence of Christ in the Eucharist.

​In this video, we discuss:

​The surge of new Catholics in Southern California.
​Why "faith alone" stops short of the full biblical truth of Ephesians 2:10.
​How the Mass is the most scripturally immersed form of worship on earth.
​The historical reality of Church authority vs. the 16th-century revolution.
