Episode 1013 Show Notes 

From the Show

People are given new identities by the grace of God. As Christians, through baptism and faith, we also have a new identity from the Lord. We are no longer found dead in our sin, but we are united to Jesus Christ.

Adriel Sanchez

Why Does God Change the Names of People in the Bible?

Questions in this Episode

  1. Why did God often change the names of people in the Bible like he did with Abram to Abraham and Jacob to Israel?
  2. How should Christians deal with addiction to prescription drugs?
  3. How do I know if I am being disciplined by God or if I’m being punished for my sins?
  4. I have been baptized and I have a friend who is pentecostal and they asked me if I had been baptized in the Spirit. I am confused. I thought when I was baptized with water that means I already have the Spirit. My friend is implying that there are two baptisms. Can you clarify this?
