Is Francis Chan Becoming Catholic? 

I’m starting this journey and never thought I would leave the Pentecostal church and have been going to mass and my spirit is so full.

Bienvenido a Casa. Welcome Home. God Blesses All

Not! 😆

@@jesusthethruth we don't force close minded person like you. We continue praying that you're mind and heart who kept insulting Jesus Church, the Catholic Church

@@clarissamaebaang4900 look I defend and worship Jesus the creator, sustainer of life, powerful, all mighty God who came down to earth and gave His life for me. You on the other hand defend and worship an institution(church) which has done nothing for you when it comes to salvation. The only who can save you is Jesus trust in Him.🙌 by the way I used to be a catholic and God rescued me from it. He rescued me from the believe of thinking that because I was a catholic I was saved and going to heaven. Jesus said in the Bible speaking of himself “ I am the way, the truth and the life no one comes to the Father but through me”. Yes Jesus stablished the church but the church is not the means of salvation. It is just a community of people saved by the grace of God.

@@jesusthethruth actually it is not you who knew more about Jesus. It is the Apostles. It is in the Apostles where Jesus deposied His teachings and left His church to them. You actually didn't know Jesus. You just interpreting according to your ideals.

@@clarissamaebaang4900 see there you again not giving the credit to the one who deserves it. That’s what Catholics do give credit to the pope, saints, images anyone but Jesus😫🤪 I was it is a waste of time trying to talk some sense into you🥰

Man's traditions versus what the Bible clearly states- God's truth always wins

@@saulespino2510 yes, His truth always win. Yet, Jesus, being God did follow his jewish traditions, and fulfilled it and the law.

Wgaither1 because it’s the true Church that Christ founded.

Yes, I am a cradle Catholic and I have taken many things for granted. It's been getting better and more personal.

Wgaither1 Lol! The Apostles and their disciples didn’t have pocket new testaments to hand out. They taught (through the generations) by preaching (and writing) and handing down what was taught to them by the Lord. (“Tradition”) Like the Jews, early Christianity was sustained by oral tradition. The writings of the early church fathers (direct disciples of the apostles) are abundant and confirm this. Remember that scripture itself tells us that not all was written down.

@@Wgaither1 before the Bible came to what it is now there was alresdy a living church with Peter as the first Pope. For 1,500 years, the Eucharist was the center of faith of early Christians. It was only during the Reformation that the Eucharist was replaced with the pulpit by Bible-swagging preachers.

@@Wgaither1 you won't find a named church in scripture, but for 300 years, we had a thriving church in many nation's and booming before the new testament was discerned by the gift of the Holy Spirit. So how in the world could the apostles and their successors lead for all that time without the whole book? They did so with the tradition and instruction Christ left. Do you know John 21:25 it says Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. If there were miracles Christ did we will never know, isn't it reasonable to think that Christ wouldn't have let his apostles wing it in terms of church leadership or form or structure? Many MANY people who research the early church come to the Catholic faith. The early church fathers look and sound and act awfully Catholic (because they are). One more thing, just because the true church is Catholic, doesn't mean all Catholics share identical tradition. Eastern Catholics have different liturgies from Roman Catholics. Chaldean Catholics are different and so are Maronite Catholics and so on. There are many flavors and types and traditions within the Catholic church. But make no mistake, even with our cultural/regional influence, we are the church Jesus left. My greatest advice is to do some research. And when your eyes are open, you'll have two choices,much like Steve Ray told Keith: either come Home or turn around and never look back (I paraphrased. Look up Keith's video on meeting Steve Ray).

He is already a Christian - a Christ follower.

I love this comment. 👏👏👏

Amen! And to those who turn away, I am reminded of John 6:66-69.. God Bless!

Y M Revelations 3:16 is a good reminder

@@YM-gi1qm Yes! Amen For Catholics there is no contradiction. Jesus is the Word made flesh; In the immaculate incarnation, the true presence in the Eucharist and in the resurrection

My husband was a convert for 25 years not really sure he believed in the True Presence. That was until I was watching a Fr Mike Schmitz video and he happened to hear, " so are you going to believe Christ who said ' This is my body...blood' or a man who says it's just a symbol!" One of the happiest moments of my life.

@@jenyoung2473 Amen and Amen!

stephen murphy I’ve noticed the same thing. I saw some of his preaching and thought it sounded Catholic.

Yes!!! He’s awesome! We need him in the Catholic Church !!

stephen murphy he’s already in the body of Christ which is the Church.

Where in the Bible does it say God divides his church into denominations?

@wendy waddell hardy If your bible didn’t say divided into denominations, why are guys have all this denominations?? ???? For Catholics, Jesus Christ commanded us to have One Church, we go by his words. One Church, One Faith and One Baptism

Adam - ever hear of The Coming Home Network or the EWTN program "The Journey Home"? If not, research this guy, Marcus Grodi. He converted about twenty years ago and since then has played a role in the conversion of well over 2000 Protestant CLERGY!!!. Do you know what these guys are giving up to become Catholic???

BDD 03051 BDD 03051 yes indeed, I am familiar with the Coming Home Network, and am definitely familiar with what these guys go though when they become Catholic. They most certainly need our prayers. It can be a hard go.

@Ellen C . And Catholics becoming Evangelical Christians become stronger Christians as well as opposed to the ones that are Born in Evangelical homes . This is very evident when you look at places like Phillipines , Latin American nations and many such other countries where Catholicism was once dominant and most Evangelicals are ex Catholics . At the end of the day , It's all about loving Jesus and Loving others . People can argue theologically and be really surprised when the Lord will tell them " You're very knowledgeable in my word but did you love others as i commanded or wasted your time arguing with people about doctrine .

JESUS Christ established one Church, not a whole lot of different churches all believing something different from one another. So to plainly say.. "Its all about jesus ' and then proceed to start your own church is misguided Christianity.

@@SmithsnMoz . So who decides what " One Church " so to speak has he established ? Isn't it what the apostles preached and practiced ? The book of acts shows all the practices of the first church which generally is the argument of the protestants . What their saying is ( Well the learned ones ) , that a few of the practices of the Roman Catholic church is nowhere to be found in the book of Acts or gospel . Generally they ask questions like , Where in the Bible does it show that Mary went to heaven Body and soul ? and If we offer prayers to Mary then Jesus's death was in vain cause Jesus came for that very reason to break down the wall of separation that divided mankind from God and the Curtain in the Temple split from top to bottom so people could enter into the presence of God through Jesus . So the protestants would really agree with what you are saying that Jesus established one church and the Roman Catholics are not following the full teachings of Jesus . As long as there's no major doctrinal issue , eg Jesus is not God and his blood doesn't wash away our sins , i still believe that minor doctrinal differences should't become our main argument . I've noticed that people get so bogged in such arguments that without realising , they start hating people . God Bless

That’s awesome! Welcome home!

Welcome home

Welcome home!

Welcome home

welcome home!

Thank you Ryan!

Thanks James!

Amen 💗

Hobby Wright No this will slap him back into Protestantism for ever

Yes Francis Chan!!! I am born Catholic But I think there are a few things Catholics should change. Such as the statutes n Glorifying Mary n Saints cuz It doesn’t apply to the First commandment n that all praise n Glory n worship only goes to God n remember he is a jealous God. And Jesus called Mary woman not mother. Also saying what Hav u got to do with me to her. Probably knowing we humans or Catholics will raise her up since she is the mother of Jesus n that on the cross he says to John this is your mother. All statues n art should be to the side n the center focus is the cross that represents Our Lord n Savior Jesus Christ our Lamb. All art n statues to the side or around the church. These things distract the spiritual worship of God. God is of Spirit not in the statues. visual appeals to human like bugs to the light. If this is how u can first capture the attention of sinners so be it. Love the mass of Catholicism tho!!!It’s in scripture- the reverence(kneeling), the incense, the candles n the breaking bread-supposedly for fellowship cuz this is what God really wanted for us humans is love n communion with Him n one another. Which Catholics lack there too. The Catholics don’t get this n are aloof with one another. U go your way I go my way after church. Catholicism attract many to come to God but it has to lead them to the Truth n the Truth is the way the life in Jesus n his Word. All priest n all man need to humble to God -only the Father the Son n the Holy Spirit are glorified n worshipped n praised. I’ve seen two churches in my area hav changed they only hav the cross as the center n all things aside n mass is all about the Trinity which is great cuz Jesus said a kingdom divided can not stand 😊🙏✝️

I hope so!! He’s a real man of God!!

jan pham YOU OBVIOUSLY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE CATHOLIC FAITH THE STATUES ARE NOT IDOLS CATHOLICS DO NOT WORSHIP MARY OR ANY SAINT CATHOLICS HONOUR MARY AS CHRIST JESUS HIMSELF DID AND AS GOD THE FATHER DECREES IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS AS FOR THE SAINTS THE CATHOLIC FAITH IS A LIVING FAITH NOT A DEAD FAITH LIKE THE PROTESTANT FAITHS SINCE WE MAKE UP THE BODY OF CHRIST IT IS ONLY FITTING THAT WE HONOUR THESE GREAT SAINTS ALL PROTESTANT CHURCH HAVE REPLACED CHRIST JESUS HIMSELF WITH A PULPIT MOST GIVE GLORY TO THERE PASTOR OR PREACHERS GO READ (JOHN 6:22-71) CHRIST IS TRULY PRESENT IN HIS CHURCH THAT HE GIVE AUTHORITY TO ( JOHN 20:23 ) (MATTHEW 18:18) LISTEN I CAN SHOW YOU IN SCRIPTURES IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT CATHOLICS WORSHIP UNDERSTAND THIS IT IS THE ORIGINAL CHURCH AND CHRIST JESUS HIMSELF APPOINTED HER AND REMAINS IN HER EVERY PROTESTANT CHURCH COMES FROM BANKRUPT KINGS PLUNDERING MONASTERIES AND TAKING AUTHORITY AND UNDER DEATH PENALTY THERE FOREFATHERS WERE PUT TO WORSHIP THE KING USING NATIONALISM AND PATRIOTISM SAME TACTICS HITLER USED MOST PROTESTANT DO NOT EVEN KNOW WHY THE HATE CATHOLICS AND THE PAPACY BUT THEY DO KNOW IT IS THE SEAT OF PETER AND THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES IF YOU WERE CATHOLIC I URGE YOU GO BACK TO THE TRUE CHURCH IF YOU ARE NOT CATHOLIC I URGE YOU TO STAY CLOSE TO CHRIST JESUS AND LISTEN TO HIM SPEAKING THROUGH THE GOSPEL GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU SAFE AND ALL YOUR LOVED ONES CATHOLICS ARE NOT YOUR ENEMIES WE HAVE A COMMON ENEMY AND WE SHOULD IN FACT UNITE BECAUSE HE IS A LIAR AND THE FATHER OF THEM ASK ME ANYTHING ABOUT MY FAITH AND I WILL TRY TO ANSWER IT. BIG HUG 🤗 FROM NORTHERN IRELAND 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪

Dominic Ward thank you for your reply. I love the Catholic mass it’s in scripture that’s why I can’t seem to leave the Catholic Church but from what I’ve seen there is idolism in church goers. They kiss n touch n pray to the statues. God is of the spirit he’s not in the statue nor the saints. God says all Glory n praise n worship goes to him. We can honor the saints but we must not worship n glorify them in the way we do the Lord. There must be a distinction. The first commandment? Anyways I love the reverence of the Catholic Church most Protestant church is singing loudly n not kneeling or showing as Christians should cuz the Our Father says do on earth what is done in Heaven. What is done in Heaven is worship n praise n reverence for God- John revelation 😊🙏✝️⛪️

Thank you Daniel!

why? whats wrong with a drum kit?

@@AMDpc067 Did I mention that the background was wrong?

Thanks so much! I hope he does too :)

Thank you so much. You are the reason I do this. You have blessed me greatly.

From your mouth to God's hears!

@Katrina Cramer-Diaz Welcome, you are telling the truth

Too bad you never were born again.Amazing to see how you never read your own Bible for yourself.This is the saddest comment section i have ever seen as this cult blindly follows Mary,the papacy,and the absolute worst twisting of God's grace i ever heard.I will passionately arm myself to preach Jesus Christ as the ONLY way to the Father and there is ZERO benefit in talking to the dead mother Mary(who had other children if you would read your Bible.).That is not only childishly stupid,but also very dangerous.....B

@B Jones Poor guy, read the Bible who is Mary?Who wrote the Bible? Who is Jesus Christ? Where did he came from? Who choose Mary? Who are the Church Fathers?

@@bjones5791 I am Born again and a revert to Catholicism. Happen in the link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nBpc2e_Tsf4.html Most Catholics here are converts from Protestantism.

Spurred on by this channel I watched a video of Francis. It's a bit strange to see him walk around expressively waving a Bible and frustrated.

@@wolfthequarrelsome504 I did not seek it out, youtube's new algorithm is suggesting many videos related to the ones I watch or like, so the one below came up. I didn't watch the whole thing (it's long) but Francis Chan was very personable in addressing a group of Catholic youth in 2018. Funny line: he overheard somebody say that Francis Chan was his favorite Catholic speaker lol (he is not Catholic but they thought he was). ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d58CQckxRA4.html

:)

@Unapologetically Christian Was Francis a cradle Catholic?

@@sabaghebreghzabhier3382 No he was raised as a Protestant, according to his wikipedia page which is very interesting. His mother died in childbirth, his stepmother died when he was 8 and his father died when he was 12.

Thanks so much my friend

Mean "chee.ricardo@yahoo.com" the next one is wrong

You are welcome.

Patricia Martin you need to repent because you sound foolish

Andre Walsh Don’t be deceived by the Judaizers /Protestant heresy

Patricia, you ever read "Worthy Is The Lamb"? I read it about a year ago after I saw Roy Schomann endorses it on his website.

Absolutely true Patricia, for some miracles that the bread transform change to be real meat with human pulse.

I thought that believers had the Holy Spirit dwelling inside of them !!!? So, if that is the case then why receive the Lord again and again and again!!? Madness It's symbolic not literal!

Foxxitude We will be offering our Rosary today for Mr. Chan.

Meanwhile many of our own pastors are luke warm.

Pray To GOD for the lukewarm to become True Catholic Believers of Jesus the Savior

Amen!!!

I hope what you say is true. In reading Protestant responses to Chan thus far, ministers and laity, they seem to be even stronger in their anti-Catholic stands. Angry at Chan for being "taken in" by what he's learned. But I believe some pastors may peek at early Church history out of curiosity... then we'll see.

Thanks Juan!!

Anytime a friend leaves you because you convert to Catholicism, it just shows they were no true friend at all.

The Scripture is the biggest enemy of RC doctrine and practice, history is a close second.

Brett V. Ummmm. The Catholic early church father’s out the Bible together and decided what books went in. Were instructed by apostles. You really need to stop protesting and start reading.

@@leonardstefanyshyn40 The bread is symbolic! It's not literal ( flesh/blood). If believers already have the Holy Spirit dwelt in us then what sense that does make?? How dare a priest ( sinner) assume he has the power to transform bread to literal flesh and blood talk about prideful and arrogant. Mostly ignorant lol

Fabio Tuan When Jesus repeats this is my flesh. This is my blood 5 times. You best listen. The crowd left as they couldn’t listen. You also have left. No where in the Bible does it say you are saved by faith alone. But there are so many believing that. Lost souls. Praying for them.

@@leonardstefanyshyn40 Jesus was holding the bread when HE said to his disciples take this eat it, this is my flesh etc. How can the bread be ( literal flesh and blood) then when He was holding the bread?? Hmm??

I hope he does!

This is the final mission before Christ returning.. uniting all divisions amongst the church to form around simply a relationship with The Lord and understanding his heart .. he’s taking steps .. this is the final mission and it will take years but this is the first stage . Let’s start getting close and making our own steps in making this a reality

Theres no unity between the gospel & religion. Jesus did not teach religion but rather the ONLY way of life to the father through him

He certainly has a Franciscan spirit.

Christi Dea yes! Real man of God 👍🏻😊🙏✝️⛪️📖

Fabio Tuan he mayb even better. He’s real true to God n himself! Not a fake or a phoney. Tries to find the truth not a religion 😊🙏✝️⛪️📖

@@fabiotuan5206 it's just a matter of time...lol...or will wait till he dies and will be praying to him...

He was well named. St. Francis of Assisi, pray for him, and pray for us!

Amen!

If I can find just one verse in my Bible that I have ask Virgin Mary for forgiveness and watch for my soul and I have to pray to the Apostles if I need something from God and pray for the death people to be saved, I’ll become a Catholic, i grew up in Greek Orthodox Church and it’s the same Celtics demonic rituals influence, and my grandfather brothers was the “Holly Man” in Romania like the Pop in Catholic Church that didn’t do nothing for me life, The Bible sad I have to be born again to be save, and Romans 10:9

Come on back!

"man centered trope" points to bad theology not at protestant itself

If you are a catholic watching this video I challenge you to get to know the bible. I pray that Jesus will open your eyes and ears. Come out of dead religion and have a relationship with Jesus Christ. It is Jesus's precious blood that cleanses us from sin. Mary cannot save you nor hear you. Jesus is the only way to heaven.(John 14:6) We must be born again to enter the Kingdom of God. (John 3:3). Your "good" works will not get you to heaven, it is by the grace of Jesus so that no man can boast. I tell you out of love. Stop the foolishness, turn to Jesus.

@@brotherdj777 protestants might quote the bible, but its only to confirm their own personal views. Catholics have a personal relationship with Christ, because Christ is visibly present at Mass whereever thr eucharist is, and we eat his flesh and drink his blood as he commanded. The dead religion are the protestant sects who think gospel rock and hip hop is worship. They have no worship in their gatherings, which is why many don't even call their sunday services "worship" or "services", but merely "fellowship".... because at the end of the day they reject so much of the bible they don't know what to do anymore truly worship Christ.

Brother DJ, you have to reread the bible and know THE history.

@@brotherdj777 the Catholic compiles and chooses all the scripture in the. It is also a catholic cardinal who arrange all the verses and chapter of the Bible. It is also a catholic bishop who call the Bible a Bible.. the 1st translator of the Bible is a Catholic. The 1st person who printed the Bible is a catholic. and by the way the Oldest surviving Bible Manuscrip is the Codex Vaticanus

@@akaVIRO History? From the beginning did people say prayers to mary. Did people say prayers to dead people, that's paganism. But I think your reasoning is too clouded, and you are drunk off the wine of tradition. So I don't expect you to understand.
