Can I Lose My Salvation? Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Dec 18, 2015

Jesus gives us eternal life, and we shall never perish. Sounds plain. But what about those Hebrews verses...

Can I lose my salvation? My, the conversations this has stirred up among us through the years. It’s obviously not as clear as one would like it to be. Again we hang on God’s every word, and lean not to our own understanding or interpretation or favorite theologian or author. There are ...read more

What causes a person to forsake the rules and do what they want to do? It is something called comfortability or comfort zone. They become so comfortable to the point that it’s my will that matters and that’s it, it is irreverence.

The Mode Of Baptism

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 20, 2022

What does the Bible mandate about the mode of baptism?

Eisegesis is a bad way to read the Bible. It means to read into the text things that are actually not there at all. One common example is reading that Jesus came up out of the water after being immersed. The text simply does not say that at all. “So Jesus was baptized. And as soon as he came out ...read more

Paul makes a special plea to his friend Philemon concerning his run-away slave but now a Christian, showing how the gospel transforms all relationships.

THE TRANSFORMING GOSPEL Letter writing is almost a lost art. We’d rather pick up the phone or dash off an e-mail but I’m glad that Paul used pen and ink. Doubtless Paul, being a man of letters and bubbling over with ideas for the spread of the gospel, must have written many ...read more
