  • Diverse Theology: Frequently Assumed Things about Other Denominations - My Seminary Life

    Coming to you live from the Every Tribe, Denomination, and Tongues Convention, it's My Seminary Life! In this special live recording episode of the show, I am joined by a whole host of people to discuss things that are often assumed about denominations from people outside of that particular group. Instead of FAQs, we're talking about FATs, Frequently Assumed Things. Do Pentecostals really believe that you have to speak in tongues to show you have been filled with the Spirit?

This is a jam packed episode filled with a lot of laughs and insight into different Christian theologies.
