As seen in this video clip, Pastor Bill Annis, founder of Christ's Church in Moncton, NB and president of Faith Christian Fellowship Canada, teaches that Jesus Christ was somehow "Born Again". He also once stated to a former member of Christ's Church while in his office that the Blood of Jesus Christ was not sufficient in and of itself to save mankind from sin. Bill Annis teaches clear and plain heresy concerning the Person, Nature and Work of Jesus Christ. This is heretical and blasphemous as Jesus Christ was not Born Again. Pastor Bill Annis is simply regurgitating the heresy of the Word of Faith leaders such as Kenneth Copeland and the late Kenneth Hagin. This is not a new teaching but instead is an old one, a deception from the devil himself.

Do all religions lead to God? If you are sincere in your religious faith, will God accept you, regardless if you "believe in Jesus Christ?"

There are no second chances, no salvation for those of other faiths, no matter how sincere or devout.
