25.26 Saving Evangelicals, a Fascinating Visit with Joel Van Hoogen (Part 1)

Today, Craig and LaDonna Smith start a new and fascinating series with Pastor Joel Van Hoogen of Boise, ID.  Joel also leads and international equipping ministry called Church Partnership Evangelism, Inc.  He is author of a book titled, Saving Evangelicals, which is an interesting look into the issue of our personal salvation.  Van Hoogen suggests that not all people who think they are believers in Christ are actually saved, an important concept that has good strong biblical support (Matthew 7:21-23).  In this multiple episode series, the Smiths delve into the topic deeper with Pastor Joel as he explains how we all can do a self-examination to see if we are truly in the faith.  Don't miss one single episode of this powerful and important visit with Rev. Van Hoogen.  It's all about the assurance of our salvation, and Joel states that there are six prominent parts or experiences we. have with God in the salvation process.  Joel quotes 2 Corinthians 13:5, where it says, Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves.Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test, as the biblical basis for this self-examination or test.  You can access the book at Amazon.com in both print and e-book formats.  Dig into this important issue with the Smiths  on this and upcoming episodes of Indigenous Faith.
