Text Us! We are continuing our examination of Scriptural verses that are leaned on heavily by Calvinists to defend their doctrinal stance. When John states, "they went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us..." in 1John 2:19, is he describing average individuals that claim to have fellowship with the true church? Or, is there something more that John is intending to communicate in this verse? Those are the questions we seek to address in this episode.If you would like to donate to the Podcast, you can do that here:https://www.fgbi.org/contact--giving.htmlType the amount you would like to give in, proceed to the next window and in the "Special Instructions" box simply type "Podcast". Contact us here:[email protected]

Text Us! In this episode, we discuss two alternative interpretations of Acts 13:48. Is this a rock solid proof text for the Calvinist, or can it be understood from an Arminian theological framework? To learn more about our online Pneumatology and New Testament Survey Courses, click here https://www.fgbi.org/fast-track.html.If you would like to donate to the Podcast, you can do that here:https://www.fgbi.org/contact--giving.htmlType the amount you would like to give in, proceed to the next window and in the "Special Instructions" box simply type "Podcast". Contact us here:[email protected]

Text Us! We continue our discussion of Ephesians 5. In this episode, we capitalize on a perspective of Ephesians 5 that seems contrary to the narrative that is often pushed. Many have argued that Paul was dealing in a patriarchal society, and many of the commands he gave was in regard to that societal mindset. However, is that really the case, or was Paul actually addressing issues that had arisen as the culture began to shift toward an embrace of egalitarianism? If you would like to purchase the commentary that was referenced in this episode, you can find it here: https://a.co/d/03wYDZjZTo learn more about our online Pneumatology and New Testament Survey Courses, click here https://www.fgbi.org/fast-track.html.If you would like to donate to the Podcast, you can do that here:https://www.fgbi.org/contact--giving.htmlType the amount you would like to give in, proceed to the next window and in the "Special Instructions" box simply type "Podcast". Contact us here:[email protected]

Text Us! On this episode, we spend some time discussing a book written by Gavin Ortlund titled, "Finding the Right Hills to Die On: A Case for Theological Triage". In this book, Dr. Ortlund gives some helpful examples and arguments as to how a believer should categorize various doctrines. In all things, as Dr. Ortlund states, we should ultimately desire Godliness, and promote the welfare of the body of Christ!If you would like to purchase the book, it can be found here: https://a.co/d/0eW4Su68To learn more about our online Pneumatology and New Testament Survey Courses, click here https://www.fgbi.org/fast-track.html.If you would like to donate to the Podcast, you can do that here:https://www.fgbi.org/contact--giving.htmlType the amount you would like to give in, proceed to the next window and in the "Special Instructions" box simply type "Podcast". Contact us here:[email protected]

Text Us! God not only wants our homes to be saturated by the transformational power of our personal Pentecostal experience, but he wants each individual in our family to experience this power as well!

Text Us! We often place an emphasis on Spirit infilling as it affects us in our worship at the house of God. That is certainly vitally important. However, sadly, little emphasis is placed on the affect Spirit infilling should have on our homes and families.

Text Us! In this episode, we continue our discussion on Annihilationism with Chris Jordon. We specifically address 2 of the points made by Greg Boyd in his article on Annihilationism. The first point is whether a loving God can truly allow a person to suffer in a literal eternal hell. The second point is whether the eternality of hell somehow undermines the victorious nature of God.Here is the link to the article we discuss in this episode: https://reknew.org/2008/01/the-case-for-annihilationism/Here is the book on hell that was referenced by Zondervan: https://a.co/d/4EzmJtXTo learn more about our online Pneumatology and New Testament Survey Courses, click here https://www.fgbi.org/fast-track.html.If you would like to donate to the Podcast, you can do that here:https://www.fgbi.org/contact--giving.htmlType the amount you would like to give in, proceed to the next window and in the "Special Instructions" box simply type "Podcast". Contact us here:[email protected]

Text Us! On this episode, we are joined by one of our newest professors at Free Gospel Bible Institute, Chris Jordon, to discuss the Annihilationist perspective on eternity. In this episode we address an article written by Greg Boyd. Particularly, we look at his claim that the soul of man is mortal and only receives immortality when it is granted eternal life from God at salvation. Further, we dissect the hermeneutical approach to terms in Scripture that seem to indicate that "eternal" and "forever" do not necessarily need to be taken in a literal sense. Here is the article we address in the episode: https://reknew.org/2008/01/the-case-for-annihilationism/Here is the book on Hell by Zondervan that was referenced in the episode: https://a.co/d/2WxzoebTo learn more about our online Pneumatology and New Testament Survey Courses, click here https://www.fgbi.org/fast-track.html.If you would like to donate to the Podcast, you can do that here:https://www.fgbi.org/contact--giving.htmlType the amount you would like to give in, proceed to the next window and in the "Special Instructions" box simply type "Podcast". Contact us here:[email protected]

Text Us! Was Jesus telling a parable—or giving us a glimpse into eternity? In Luke 16, the story of the Rich Man and Lazarus has stirred debate among scholars for quite some time. Some see it as a vivid illustration of hell’s reality, others as a true account of a man crying out from the flames. In this episode, we dig into the context, propose the view that seems to make the most sense to us, and draw out the timeless truths Jesus wanted us to see: the finality of judgment, the urgency of repentance, and the hope found in God’s Word.

Text Us! In this episode, we address a question that was sent into us by a young preacher. He asks, "as a young preacher, it is my desire to be as effective as I can be. How ought I to approach or posture myself toward the congregation, God, and even myself?" We spend some time addressing this question, pointing back to Christ as our ultimate example. To learn more about our online Pneumatology and New Testament Survey Courses, click here https://www.fgbi.org/fast-track.html.If you would like to donate to the Podcast, you can do that here:https://www.fgbi.org/contact--giving.htmlType the amount you would like to give in, proceed to the next window and in the "Special Instructions" box simply type "Podcast". Contact us here:[email protected]

Text Us! In this episode, we spend some time addressing a question that was sent in to us by a listener. In Matthew 18, Jesus gives us the blueprint for how we should handle wrongdoings committed against us by a brother or sister in Christ. Have we deviated from the model that Jesus left us? Would following this model help us to resolve far more wrongdoings and differences within the church? What is the attitude and spirit that we should approach these conversations with?

Text Us! In this episode, we continue our discussion concerning the afterlife by exploring the possibility of Near Death Experiences or Out of Body Experiences. We look at some of the objections that are given to the possibility of NDE's or OBE's. We also explore some Biblical passages that seem to indicate the possibility of them. However, should Christians focus on trying to experience these? That is yet another question we will explore on this episode.

Text Us! On this episode, we continue our series on the afterlife. We explore two philosophical arguments that seem to indicate the possibility of life after death. The first argument is one popularized by C.S. Lewis called "the argument from desire". The second argument is one that has been passed down through the generations called "Substance Dualism". Here is the link to the article on C.S.

Text Us! The question of what happens to a person after death is one that occupies the mind of almost every person. Is this life all there is, or is there a "great beyond"? On this episode, we spend some time offering 3 foundational realities from Scripture that demonstrate the reality that there is life after death. To learn more about our online Pneumatology and New Testament Survey Courses, click here https://www.fgbi.org/fast-track.html.If you would like to donate to the Podcast, you can do that here:https://www.fgbi.org/contact--giving.htmlType the amount you would like to give in, proceed to the next window and in the "Special Instructions" box simply type "Podcast". Contact us here:[email protected]

Text Us! There is no doubt that there is a natural desire within every Christian, and more specifically every minister, to help others in their times of need. However, how far is too far? Is it ever appropriate for someone to come between a Pastor and his parishioner? Further, what does the Bible say about those that interfere beyond their God-given authority?

Text Us! The study of Church History has been an invaluable tool for the modern church. However, arguments abound as it relates to church history somewhat being the standard that we measure our doctrine by. Further, arguments are made that if a particular issue cannot be proven sufficiently from the records of church history, then the modern church should not hold to such ideologies. In this episode, we contend that the culture in which the early church operated must be taken into consideration before we dismiss certain beliefs that do not abound in the records of church history.

Text Us! As we discussed in our last episode, the Bible seems clear in its command that believers are to go and make disciples. The next step is exploring how one is to effectively carry out this command.

Text Us! In Matthew 28:19-20 we are given what has come to be known as "The Great Commission". Is this commission still binding on the church? Are we obligated to fulfill the command that Christ is giving here, or was it merely for the disciples? Further, when Matthew 28:19 says to "go" is it a direct command, or merely a passive statement that we are to make disciples as we go along our way?

Text Us! Some have the opinion that because we are of the Kingdom of God, then our allegiance should be to that Kingdom alone. We should have no part in the affairs of earthly government. However, is that what the Bible truly teaches? Does our citizenship of the Kingdom of God negate our responsibility to be good citizens of our nation? Are these concepts at odds one with the other?

Text Us! We continue our series on the Kingdom of God. We have already established that there is a sense in which the Kingdom of God is present in this world today. We see that evidenced through the power of God demonstrated in various forms. However, is there a sense in which the Kingdom will come in a "fuller" expression and realization? If so, do we as the Church help that Kingdom become established in its fullest sense on this earth? What Scriptural evidence seems to point to the establishment of this Kingdom futuristically? These are some of the questions that we ponder on this episode. To learn more about our online Pneumatology and New Testament Survey Courses, click here https://www.fgbi.org/fast-track.html.If you would like to donate to the Podcast, you can do that here:https://www.fgbi.org/contact--giving.htmlType the amount you would like to give in, proceed to the next window and in the "Special Instructions" box simply type "Podcast". Contact us here:[email protected]

Text Us! Though the Kingdom of God has not been realized in its fullest sense yet, there is an element of it that is accessible and evident even now. The power of the Kingdom was demonstrated through the ministry of Christ and the Apostles in the Gospels, then through the church in the book of Acts, and is still evident in modernity. There really is power that transforms lives, and it is found in the Gospel of the Kingdom. That is precisely what we discuss on this episode. To learn more about our online Pneumatology and New Testament Survey Courses, click here https://www.fgbi.org/fast-track.html.If you would like to donate to the Podcast, you can do that here:https://www.fgbi.org/contact--giving.htmlType the amount you would like to give in, proceed to the next window and in the "Special Instructions" box simply type "Podcast". Contact us here:[email protected]

Text Us! All throughout the Gospel accounts we find this concept of the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of Heaven. What is so important about understanding what this reference is? Jesus found it important enough to make it a central topic of his preaching in the Gospel accounts. Further, how does understanding this important concept transform the life of the believer and change their perception of their responsibility to the world?

Text Us! Paul instructs the believers at Corinth concerning the covering of the head by women in the public worship setting in 1Corinthians 11. What was the covering that Paul was referring to? Further, does this passage truly deal with hair, or is it referring to a material item that was popular in the Jewish community of that day, used for a head covering? Is Paul dealing with a cultural issue in this passage, or a universal principle applicable to all generations?

Does the Bible say anything concerning the outward adornment of the person? Are there areas of prohibition concerning this topic, or merely suggestions that one is to take into consideration?

Text Us! No doubt you have heard sermons in your church concerning the "Cost of Discipleship". It is a pretty popular message that seeks to challenge the believer to a place of self-evaluation as it relates to their dedication in following Christ. However, have you ever considered that preaching such a message could potentially be an effective tool in evangelizing the lost? Does the Bible seem to support this theory?

Text Us! On this episode, we continue our discussion concerning the role of the whole person in the Christian life. We zero in on the role of the mind in our Christian service to God.
