The 1689 on Scripture (1.1)
Joe and Jimmy kick off a walk-through of the 1689 Baptist Confession. For as long as it takes the guys will take every Monday to talk through a section of the confession seeking to show how it relates to Christian experience. Today is Chapter One, paragraph one, Of the Holy Scriptures. What does it mean that the Bible is “the only sufficient, certain, and infallible rule of all saving knowledge, faith, and obedience.” Why did God give us the Scripture? Be sure to check out our new 1689 website, the1689confession.com and spread the word. If you need a hard copy of the 1689 check out 1689 Baptist Confession (Banner of Truth) or The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith in Modern English (Founders Press).Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Today the guys are back talking about the doctrine of Sanctification as they work through the 1689 Confession, Chapter 13, paragraphs 2 and 3. If sanctification is incomplete in this life, is our sanctification guaranteed? How does the fight for our sanctification relate to spiritual warfare? And what does sanctification look like practically in a believer’s life?
