A facebook posting asked the question: "Can Salvation occur and be maintained, (by the Holy Spirit through the Word), outside of belonging to a physical church, a physical body of believers?"

In this broadcast we assemble three pastors who are very experienced and who also are intimately engaged in defending the Christian faith against the claims of "Campingism." What about your own personal salvation? Are you a lone range Christian? Have you left the Church, thinking that all churches were filled with Satan, when in fact, you were mistaken? Can a Christian make it on their own, without the structure that the Epistles give us, of pastors, elders and deacons? Participants: Dr. John Vance, Rev. Mark Diedrich, Rev. Bill Shishko, Dan Elmendorf.

Where you one of the people who were affected by Harold Camping's false May 21 "rapture" date? Did you notice that there were no earthquakes starting 6:00 PM in New Zealand, like Harold originally said there would be? Were you one of the folks who liquidated your entire bank account, to help "spread the word!" but to no avail? Now you are without cash going forward, but worse, you realize that you were fooled by this man. Lot's of people are in your same position. In this broadcast, we talk about where to go from here. Many people were in contact with Redeemer Broadcasting during this intense period of time. Harold went into hiding for a while, in fact he didn't stay at his own home for one evening. finally he came out of hiding and went on the air live on May 23, only to spiritualize the whole event, and further drive a wedge between him and the Christian faith. Join us for this important discussion as we suggest what you can do, now that you know without doubt that Harold Cmaping is a false prophet. Participants: Dr. John Vance, Rev. Mark Diedrich, Dan Elmendorf.

Have you been fooled by Harold Camping's false date? Many have. We explore the root cause of the problem with Harold Camping. One of the pastors in this discussion met with Mr. Camping in December 1993 in accordance with Mathew 18 and the erring brother. We also discuss "where do you go from here," if you have been duped by this man. Participants: Rev. Bill Shishko, Rev. Mark Diedrich, Dan Elmendorf

Harold Camping is in the news lately. He is predicting with 100% certainty that Christ is returning next Saturday, May 21. He denies baptism, denies the Lord's Supper. He says that if you are in a church, you are going to hell. He says that Jesus did not die on the cross for your sins, but did that somehow from eternity past. The bizarre teachings of this man seem to mount as time passes. His followers simply recite the words of their cult leader without understanding what they are saying. Will Christ return on May 21st? We believe He will not. Participants: Rev. Mark Diedrich, Dr. Mark Allison, Dan Elmendorf

In our last episode three weeks ago, we addressed the slavery issue. Now we have some comments about States Rights. Also: What structures in our American society today, have we gotten used to, but in fact are actually ungodly structures? How to deal with them? We must maintain cool/level heads as some of these structures cannot be quickly removed. They must be removed however over time. Participants: Dr. Hans Vought, Rev. Mark Diedrich, Dan Elmendorf

Last week we talked about the resurrection of Christ from the dead. For those of us who have lost a loved one, the implications of the resurrection are tremendous! We have real hope because of Christ's resurrection. The historical evidence of the resurrection is discussed. Participants: Dr. John Vance, Rev. Mark Diedrich, Dan Elmendorf

The most important event in history is the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In this edition of A Plain Answer, we look at what it means to believe on Jesus Christ. We explore the uniqueness of Jesus and what He accomplished for His people. We talk about the cross and why it is important. This is a wonderful time of year to consider afresh the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and the cross of Calvary and Jesus' resurrection from the dead! Participants: Dr. John Vance, Rev. Mark Diedrich, Dan Elmendorf

This past Tuesday marked the 150th anniversary of the start of the War Between the States, or Civil War. It is generally agreed that the starting point was the firing on Fort Sumter. However tensions had been rising for decades prior, and reached a powder keg situation just before April 12, 1861, with deadly agitation from the abolitionists, and finally the presidential election of Republican President, Abraham Lincoln. Join us for this brief look at this crucial juncture in our American history. Also find out what huge issue we have today, which needs to be handled with wisdom, as we look at the whole area of human beings made in the image of God.

In three weeks from now, we plan to continue our discussion of the War Between the States, and take a look at the issue of States' Rights. We also plan to explore the controversial issue of "entitlements" in our own day. Stay tuned, we hope to discuss these things on May 7. Participants: Dr. Hans Vought, Rev. Mark Diedrich, Dan Elmendorf

What was it that made America great? How was it founded? What were the original guiding principles? We just bombed Libya in response to the UN's no fly zone decision. We justify this action in the name of protecting people who are not armed as well as the ruling party in Libya. But what about the most vulnerable among us? The baby in the wombs of thousands of American women, is in more danger than the rebels in Libya. Listen to the statistic that Dr. Vought shares with us regarding the destruction of the African American child with abortion. It will shock you! May God have mercy upon our nation. We believe that if a nation breaks covenant with God and disobeys His precepts, setting up false gods, that we can only expect the negative sanctions (ie, judgment) of God in history. Participants: Dr. Hans Vought, Rev. Mark Diedrich, Dan Elmendorf.

What was the genesis of the United Nations (UN)? What were the goals and what has this body actually accomplished? The United States recently launched a barrage of Tomahawk cruise missiles in response to the UN decision. Was our Congress involved in the decision? On what grounds did we bomb Libya? If it was to stop a brutal killing of a dictator's residents, then why aren't we bombing other nations such as North Korea, where there is horrendous persecution and death? What is going on? How much does the United States spend on the UN as compared to other "states?" Do we really need the UN anymore? Are not its goals steeped in naivite'? Participants: Dr. Hans Vought, Rev. Mark Diedrich, Dan Elmendorf
