In this episode, we dive deep into the topic of children's baptism and the complex dynamics surrounding it. Should young children be baptized if they profess faith in Christ? How should parents and churches navigate this delicate process? We explore common concerns from parents, the significance of a child's profession of faith, and how the church should respond when a child asks for baptism. This discussion highlights the distinction between baptism, church membership, and the importance of discipleship, emphasizing pastoral wisdom in handling these situations. Whether you’re a parent, pastor, or church leader, this episode offers valuable insights on how to approach the issue of baptism with care and discernment.
The question isn't simply about the right age to baptize children; it's deeper than that. The real inquiry is, "What is baptism?" and "When is the appropriate time to baptize anyone?" Churches must thoughtfully reflect on the biblical teachings and implications of baptism. Faithful teaching on this ordinance is especially critical in light of a decades-long decline in doctrinal carefulness. Understanding the biblical essence of conversion, particularly in relation to children and conversion, is essential for faithfully handling the command to baptize new believers.
In this episode, we dive deep into the world of conspiracy theories, not to debate their validity, but to explore the spiritual reality behind them. Who is the true puppet master pulling the strings? We discuss the biblical perspective on the powers and principalities at work in the world, revealing how Satan, the great deceiver, is the ultimate force behind the confusion and chaos we see today. By focusing on spiritual warfare, rather than getting caught up in earthly conspiracies, we aim to equip believers to recognize the real enemy and stand firm in their faith. Join us as we uncover the truth behind the shadows and prepare to engage in the battle that truly matters.
The constitutional amendment (known as the Mike Law amendment) on women in ministry was the main focus going into the convention. Did it mean what we thought it would mean? How is the SBC doing? And what about convertibles as group transport?
How are we to take the baptisms in the book of Acts? Should draw our doctrine and practices of baptism from the book of Acts? It seems that Luke has a fairly narrow purpose for writing the book of Acts. He records the Apostles witness of Jesus being the Christ. Baptisms in Acts serve as a testimony that the gospel of grace through Christ is should preached and received among people from Jerusalem, to Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. Thus, Baptisms in Acts are the testimony that none are excluded from God's grace in Jesus Christ.
Join us as we dive deep into the age-old debate of infant baptism (Paedo Baptism) versus baptism following a profession of faith (Credal Baptism). Our discussion highlights the rising prominence of this debate within the church, examining doctrinal differences, historical contexts, and personal experiences. We explore how Reformed Baptist and Presbyterian churches navigate these waters, the implications for church membership, and the need for clear theological understanding in an ever-evolving cultural landscape. Whether you're grappling with when to baptize or curious about the covenantal interpretations behind these practices, this episode offers valuable insights and thoughtful dialogue.
The term "deconstruction" has taken on a broad definition. Whatever its roots, it has become a catch all phrase for undoing the faith and religion handed down to you. What often goes unnoticed is that apostasy is baked into the culture of deconstruction. Questions are good! In fact, we typically should be asking more questions as we grow in understanding our faith. But we ought to be cautious about the kind of deconstruction that simply least to the destruction of faith. We ought also to be aware of how those around might actually start down a path of deconstruction.
You need help. We all need help. We need it in ways we do not even understand, especially as Americans. Christ is our help from heaven. The doctrine of his incarnation and suffering means he is our help through his death and resurrection, now, and forever. In this episode we dip our toes into the waters of deconstruction as well.
Plus, Michael berates Nathan for the sin of enjoying coffee while recording.
Join us as we dissect the intricate arguments of dispensationalists regarding the timing and nature of the rapture. Delve into the depths of Scripture with us as we challenge popular interpretations and unravel the theological complexities surrounding eschatology. From Revelation to 1 Thessalonians, we uncover the truth behind the pre-tribulation rapture theory as argued in a sermon preached by John MacArthur and explore its implications for Christian belief and practice. Don't miss this enlightening discussion on the nuances of end-times theology and the significance of remaining faithful amidst the tribulations of the world.
In this episode, we delve deep into the theological significance of Christ's millennial reign and its implications for understanding the Great Commission. Starting with an exploration of key biblical passages from Daniel and Matthew, we uncover the pivotal moment when Jesus asserts his authority as the Son of Man and receives dominion over all nations from the Father. This authority, earned through his crucifixion and resurrection, establishes a real and present kingdom on earth, where believers enlist as citizens under Christ's rule. We discuss the role of the local church as an embassy of the kingdom, affirming believers and proclaiming the gospel to all nations. Through insightful commentary and biblical analysis, we challenge misconceptions about spiritualizing the kingdom and emphasize the tangible reality of Christ's reign, calling believers to endurance and faithful obedience in the face of opposition.
