The claim that a past profession guarantees salvation regardless of later unbelief, rebellion, or apostasy contradicts Jesus and the apostles, who command believers to abide, endure, and take heed lest they fall.
The claim that people consciously existed before conception or are fallen angels incarnated to work out a prior rebellion contradicts Scripture’s distinction between angels and mankind and its account of human creation, death, resurrection, and judgment.
The claim that post-death purification or temporal punishment remains for the justified, and can be reduced by indulgences or works of the living, conflicts with Christ’s once-for-all offering and Scripture’s order of death and judgment.
Prayer to Mary and departed saints, and reliance on their heavenly merits or mediation, goes beyond the apostolic pattern and compromises the unique, sufficient mediation and intercession of Jesus Christ.
