Key questions answered in today’s show:
1. The thief on the cross who ended up dying, in Scripture it says that one needs to be baptized in order to be born again. If he was not born of water and Spirit, how would he be saved?
2. Is pluralism a bad thing? I know that some Christians are set on making America a Christian nation, but shouldn’t we want America to be open to all religions, and isn’t this better for the advancement of the gospel if a mission field comes to us?
3. I go to a seminary and we are supposed to celebrate the Sabbath on Saturday. Is that correct? Does it still apply to us or was God just talking to the Israelites the Sabbath that supposed to be on Saturday?
4. There are passages that teach that God is sovereign and others that teach we are responsible and active. My question is, how does God’s providence and human responsibility work together in our lives?
5. Can fear of hell be used as a good motivation to holiness or should we only be motivated by grace?
