a creature, as being someone uniquely created, is much more‘in your face’ than in Protestantism. PROTESTANTISM ISKIND OF LIKE ‘CHRISTIANITY LITE’ TO ME. It’s kind oflike we want to be Christians, but we really take science moreseriously than we take Christianity. We take what we think weknow more seriously than what we believe. AND I THINKTHERE IS NOTHING MORE USELESS TO ME THANWHAT WE NOW KNOW, because tomorrow we’re going to‘now’ know s omething completely different andcontradictory” (emphasis added).Mullins obviously loved Catholic “spirituality” even thoughthe same is not based on the Bible. Note, too, that more thana year before his death Mullins had largely rejected“evangelicalism” and “Protestantism” and did not believe in asettled doctrinal faith.e song “Creed” on Mullins’ Songs album contains thewords: “I believe in the Holy Spirit/ One Holy Church, thecommunion of Saints.” On the booklet accompanying the CDthe lyrics to this song are superimposed on a photo of aCatholic Madonna holding a rosary, which is largely a prayerto Mary as the Queen of Heaven. Some have claimed thatMullins did not believe in praying to Mary, but if he did not,it is very puzzling why he would feature a rosary on hisalbum. Surely he understood that his listeners would identifythe rosary with Catholic prayers to Mary and would assumethat he believed in the same.e following Mullins’ song presents the false gospel taughtby Catholicism:“Faith without works baby/ It just ain’t happenin’/ One is yourle hand/ One is your right/ It’ll take two strong arms/ To holdon tight” (Rich Mullins, “Screen Door”).One of the marks of false Christianity is to confuse faithand works, to mix faith and works together for salvation.While it is true that faith without works is dead and that truesaving faith produces works, it is not true that faith and worksare the two strong arms by which we hold on tight to God232
