According to Freemasonry, salvation is found within the confines of the Lodge, not in Jesus Christ. All outside of the Lodge are considered blind and ignorant. This is taught throughout their degrees. Masonic writer Albert Mackey states, “The Master Mason represents a man saved from the grave of iniquity and raised to the faith of salvation”. The Lodge present Hiram and his fabled death, burial and resurrection as a powerful illustration of man’s salvation. Christians hold to the biblical concept that salvation is found exclusively in Jesus Christ and His atoning on the cross. Acts 4:12 says: “Neither is their salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Bible-believing Christians therefore reject Freemasonry as pagan, anti-Christian and spurious.
