The Profiteers of Protestantism know!
1. “Everybody wants to go to Heaven!”
2. “People will give us money if we make them think ‘All I have to do to get to Heaven is say ‘I believe in Jesus!’“
That’s as far as the lowest-level Protestants want to go.

The smarter Profiteers of Protestantism know: “If donors get bored, they will move to a more exciting denomination. We must make them work a little harder. We’ll make them also memorize: “I am born again!”
Middle-level Protestants are able to memorize and repeat both of those phrases! “I believe in Jesus! I am born again!” Lower-level Protestants are in awe!
~
That gets boring, too.
The more ambitious Profiteers of Protestantism teach their donors to repeat another another phrase! After “I am ‘born again’! is added to “I believe in Jesus.”, their smartest donors are able to add a Third Phrase!
And, do simple math!
“I believe in Jesus!” + “I am ‘born again’! = “I am going to Heaven!”
~
Middle-level Protestants are awestruck! They are encouraged to ask “hard questions”. “Do we have to “believe in Jesus” before we are ‘born again’? Or, should we ‘believe in Jesus’ after we are ‘born again’?”
The Profiteers of Protestantism love that! “Hard questions” like that give them an opportunity to do what they are trained to do! Compliment their questioners’ brilliant thinking! “You are very intelligent! You have asked a very smart question! This is one answer: ____________.”
The blank is filled with whatever thought comes into their mind! No matter what they say, wide-eyed listeners are gratified to have been told, often for the first time in their lives, how smart they are. They say, in grateful astonishment:
“That’s all there is to getting my immortal soul into Heaven?”

Catholics do more. We think about The Actual Words with Which Jesus Christ Spoke The Catholic Church Into Being.
“And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.”
Many Actual Words of Jesus Christ are far more than The Profiteers of Protestantism want their donors to consider.
That’s Protestantism!
