One of the great issues that divides #Protestants and #Catholics is salvation. Some say that salvation is guaranteed upon a profession of faith, and others say that it can be lost if one chooses to walk away. Renowned Catholic apologist Gary Michuta joins me to answer the crucial question: Is Salvation Guaranteed? We look at tons of scripture to answer this question and this is an episode you do not want to miss.

This episode was taken from a live stream I did on my Youtube channel "William Hemsworth-The Bible Catholic".

As a Protestant I set out to prove that the Catholic church was not true. I started with the Early church fathers, and right away I found out they supported Catholic doctrine. One such church father was St. Ignatius of Antioch. In this video I list 7 quotes from the great saint that are totally Catholic.
