Pope Francis sends reconciliation message to all Protestant Churches

 

 

Anglican Episcopal Bishop Tony Palmer met with the Pentecostal preacher Kenneth Copeland bringing a message from the Pope to the Pentecostals around the world.

 Transcript from Youtube:

Most of your fear [of Roman Catholic Church] is based on propaganda now why is it historic because in 1999 the Roman Catholic Church and the Protestant Lutheran Church signed an agreement that brought an end to the protest Luther believed that we were saved by grace through faith alone amen but that's not it the Catholic Church believed that we were saved by works and that was the protest in 1999 they wrote this together because in the Protestant church got a lot of cheap salvations people were getting born-again but no fruit whatsoever and because we didn't even look for fruits it wasn't the issue because it wasn't necessary for salvation and now it's not but it's a good judge if you are saved
so what these two churches did they put the two definitions together listen to it, 

I'm reading verbatim from the Catholic Vatican website: 

Justification means that Christ himself is our righteousness in which we share through the Holy Spirit in accord with the will of the Father together we Catholics and Protestants Lutheran's believe and confess that by grace alone in faith in Christ's saving works and not because of any merit on our part we are accepted by God and receive the Holy Spirit who renews our hearts while equipping and calling us to good works.

This brought an end to the protests of Luther, brothers and sisters, Luther's protest is over he's yours in 1999 this was signed by the Lutheran Church the Federation worldwide later about five years later the worldwide Methodists signed the same agreement but as of today we still have had no Protestant evangelical that will stand up and sign this agreement to agree with our brothers and sisters that we are saved by grace through faith to good works and I believe that's something that needs to be fixed there's a challenge for you so the protest has been over for 15 years and I get a bit cheeky here because I challenge my Protestant pastor friends if there is no more protest how can there be a Protestant Church maybe we now we're all Catholics again but we are reformed we're Catholic in the universal sense we are not protesting the doctrine of salvation by the Catholic Church anymore we now preach the same gospel we now preach you're saved by grace through faith alone the word alone was the argument for 500 years the word alone is there you can read it yourself the protest is over the protest is over 

 

so let me pray and then we'll start the video I believe we will begin to see more and more people called out to go into the world and work among the churches in the spirit of Elijah to turn the hearts of the father's to the children and the hearts of the children to the father's to make ready a people prepared for the Lord ministries of econciliation we need to throw as much resources and energy into the ministry of
reconciliation as we do to the ministry of evangelization or are we building walls without foundations. I challenge you to find a bridge builder and back him or her and I'd like to pray this prayer and if you agree you can say Amen. 

This was a dying man's prayer and when
you know you're about to die you certainly prayed the most important
prayers he said I do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in me through their word that they all may be one as you Father are in me and I in you that they may also be one in us so that the world may believe that you sent me and the glory which you
have given me I have given them that they may be one as we are one
glory to the Father amen. 

Bishop Tony Palmer died shortly after his ecumenical initiatives

According to website National Catholic Reporter Bishop Tony Palmer had died of a  motorcycle accident in UK, the bike he was riding hit a car after a 10 hour surgery he passed away. Let us pray for his family, may God be with them.

Conclusion

Although the Vatican claims to have compromised their core belief from 'Salvation by Works' to Salvation by Grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ, which initiated the separation of the 'official protestant groups' from the Roman Catholicism my question is "does the Vatican 'really mean what they say?' "

We are observing for years after this agreement was signed that there is absolutely No change in the worship the Vatican does! We must carefully 'see what they do' than to trust in their word. Does the Vatican show any change or 'fruit' of the inward change by changing their Salvation statement? Was the agreement a lie?
