True or False?

2. Every person is saved through living a good life. (F)
3. Every person has a right to his or her own Bible. (T)
4. Only leaders need to know Scripture. (F)

John Wycliffe affects what we believe today. Four truths he held firm: -
1. Jesus is the head of the Church – not the Pope.
2. People are saved through faith alone – not indulgences.
3. Everyone has the right to read and know the Scriptures – not only priests.
4. In Communion, the bread and wine are a symbol only.
John Wycliffe is famous for translating the Scriptures into English.
