Is Islam a Religion of Peace?
Episode 408 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. When you become a believer, are we to pursue a separate baptism of the Holy Spirit? Is tongues for today and how do you understand Paul having an entire chapter on how to use tongues properly if it’s not for today? 2. I’ve never understood 1 John 1:9, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Do we have to keep confessing every individual sin in order to be forgiven? 3. Is Islam a religion of peace? 4. How do you understand John 12:23–33? Was Jesus talking about the cross or his later ascension? 5. Do you have any advice for those of us who trust in Christ but still struggle with assurance? I know intellectually that God loves me, and I’m saved, but I still feel an anxiety that maybe I’m wrong and that I’m not chosen.

The more intimate we are with God the more we will hear his voice. 2. If God already knows everything we need, why pray? 3. Jesus said that it would be better for him to leave so that the Holy Spirit would come. From your understanding, how is this better?
