Is salvation for everyone? Predestination, Free Will and Inclusion Theology


Listen Later

Tom Wright and Dr. Mike Bird dive into deep theological questions in this episode, tackling Inclusion Theology, Universalism, Predestination, and the question of Free Will.


💡 Is salvation universally available? Does predestination mean some are excluded? How do free will and God’s purposes coexist? Tom and Mike unpack these complex questions, shedding light on biblical perspectives that emphasize transformation, assurance, and the church’s role in reflecting God’s image in the world.


Key themes in today's episode:

  • Why determinism vs. free will is often a misleading debate.
  • How predestination is about God’s purpose, not exclusion.
  • The Holy Spirit’s role in salvation and human responsibility.
  • Why the New Testament presents salvation as both universal and personal.
  • The Biblical view of the soul vs. Platonic philosophy.

  • 🎧 If you’ve ever wrestled with questions about election, inclusion, or what it means to be human in God’s plan, this episode offers fresh insights to challenge and encourage your faith.
