Episode 1089 Show Notes 

From the Show

We are not saved by our perfect understanding of how the mechanism of salvation works. It is important for us to understand these things for our own comfort, for our own growth in grace and assurance, but we are not saved by our perfect understanding. We are saved by Jesus.

Which Doctrines Do You Have to Believe to Be a Christian?

Questions in this Episode

  1. Do the “cloud of witnesses” in Hebrews 12 pray for us?
  2. Who is being referred to in Matthew 8:11?
  3. Do I have to believe in election or predestination to get to heaven?
  4. Who are the “saints” in the Bible?
  5. My co-worker is constantly taking God’s name in vain. How do I ask her to refrain from doing that in a respectful way?
  6. Who was Cain afraid of in Genesis?
  7. Throughout the Bible people are tested. Without hesitation Abraham planned to follow through with this commandment. I think about this in present day. I think even if I heard God speaking directly to me, I could not.
