SUMMARY

We're back again to talk about "churches" that claim to be Christian, yet add something to the free gift of salvation that God gives those who believe in His son. When Mormon elders or Jehovah's Witnesses come to your door, they might appear as though they understand the Gospel. But what do they add to it that makes salvation our role instead of a gift of grace that only God can provide? Join Brad and Ronny as they break down these two cults.
