Questions in this Episode
1. What does God do in baptism?
2. Is there a difference between hades and hell mentioned in the Bible?
3. My husband and I strongly disagree on how to or how to not participate in the cultural traditions of Christmas and Easter as a family (i.e. Santa and the Easter bunny.) How should I address this? We want to be on the same page, especially since we are new parents, but neither of us can convince the other that their point of view is correct.
4. Can I have assurance of salvation if I struggle with sin? I am wrestling through the various views of Lordship Salvation and Antinomians about how we can have assurance.
