This is a copy <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> last <strong>of</strong>ficial certification given to Alberto just before he left<br />
Spain in 1967.<br />
Should I attack <strong>the</strong> Vatican? The Lord said yes. And so we published ALBERTO. I hoped, down in<br />
my heart, Walter Martin would back me up.<br />
One thing stuck in my mind. Why didn't Walter Martin sound <strong>the</strong> alarm? He was <strong>the</strong> great expert on<br />
cults, especially since he knew all <strong>the</strong> history about <strong>the</strong> Inquisition. And yet he kept quiet. Why is Walter<br />
Martin defending this evil system, calling it a Christian church? The man is a genius. He knows about<br />
her history, and yet he's defending <strong>the</strong> whore <strong>of</strong> Revelation.<br />
Beloved, <strong>the</strong> Bible tells us to seek <strong>the</strong> Lord in prayer. I go to prayer and get a specific answer from<br />
<strong>the</strong> Lord. I tell somebody I prayed about it and <strong>the</strong>y say, "Oh, that's a cop-out." I really don't understand<br />
how <strong>the</strong>y can say that. The Bible instructs us to seek <strong>the</strong> Lord for guidance. Have <strong>the</strong>se people gotten so<br />
far <strong>of</strong>f base that <strong>the</strong>y can't understand a person trusting in Christ for guidance? If He is Lord, He must be<br />
<strong>the</strong> Lord <strong>of</strong> every part <strong>of</strong> our lives.<br />
Letter after letter is coming in telling us how Roman Catholics have been saved through our<br />
material, and yet Christians sit around cracking <strong>the</strong>ir knuckles. The fields are white unto harvest and<br />
people are going to hell all around us. We've got 60 million Roman Catholics to be reached, and nobody<br />
wants to get involved. They're so afraid <strong>of</strong> what o<strong>the</strong>rs will think <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m, that <strong>the</strong>y would ra<strong>the</strong>r sit back<br />
and watch people go to hell than risk <strong>of</strong>fending <strong>the</strong>m.<br />
When <strong>the</strong> heat came on <strong>Chick</strong> Publications for what we were doing, I was amazed. It all came<br />
through <strong>the</strong> same group. There seemed to be a link between all <strong>the</strong>se men who are promoting <strong>the</strong> story<br />
that Alberto is a fraud. Gary Metz had his article published in Cornerstone, Christianity Today and Our<br />
Sunday Visitor, a Catholic periodical. Brian Onken, Martin's research consultant, wrote an article that<br />
blasted us and defended <strong>the</strong> mo<strong>the</strong>r <strong>of</strong> cults. Then, you've got Bill <strong>Jack</strong>son in San Jose, and Bart Brewer<br />
in San Diego. Both <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se men are supposed to be operating ministries to Catholics. And yet, <strong>the</strong>y're<br />
going around to churches trying to destroy our credibility. Why? Doesn't that make you a little
