No Tongues = No Holy Spirit?
Our church leadership is telling me that I don’t have the Holy Spirit living in me, because I don’t speak in tongues. Is that truly the main evidence of salvation? And what about praying in a heavenly tongue? I’m wondering about salvation and in particular, my father, who was raised Catholic. What is the bare […]
Prayer, Self-Worth, and the Soul
How much should we depend on prayer? How should we pray? I’ve been struggling with doubt and self-worth for a while now. Can you help me? What is the difference between the soul and the spirit? Is it possible that we lose salvation in the soul, but not in the spirit?
Just discovered my “new self.” Am I crazy?!
Do people who reject “once saved, always saved” really believe God might kick us when we’re down? What can you say about Christ as the Living Word? How can I share the “Christ in you” message effectively with others? What happens to Jews (and Gentiles) who don’t hear and believe the gospel today? And what […]
Saved Without Good Theology?
Is it sinful to follow company policy and use a colleague’s preferred pronouns? Did God listen to my prayers before I was saved? If you don’t believe in “once saved, always saved,” you’re not saved at all?
Sabbath? Alcohol? Remarriage?
Are we obligated to keep the Sabbath? What does it mean to rest in Christ? Should I sign a petition allowing the sale of alcohol in my area? Exactly how much faith is necessary at the moment of salvation? What if there was also some doubt? Would a second marriage mean living in perpetual adultery?
How Do Righteous People Still Sin?
What was the work Jesus had “finished” in John 17:4 if He hadn’t even died yet? How can we no longer be “sinful” (instead, righteous) if we still commit sins? I’ve had nagging doubts about my salvation for many years. What can I do?
Saved Forever: Fact or Fantasy?
I asked some Jehovah’s Witnesses if Christ lives in them, and they said “no.” Are they saved? What about my child who doesn’t want to talk about Christianity very much? What can you do when you feel like you’re constantly falling short of God‘s expectations? Andrew, do you ever worry you’re doing mental gymnastics to […]
Doubting Salvation. Abuse in Marriage.
I’ve struggled with porn during my life. I recently relapsed and then started to doubt my salvation. I have OCD, so that makes it even worse. Help! Why was the apostle Paul silent on the matter of abuse in marriage? Why doesn’t he mention it in 1 Corinthians 7?
“Jesus doesn’t live in me…”
I’ve believed in God my whole life, but I don’t have a relationship with Jesus. What am I doing wrong? How do I explain “count yourselves dead to sin”? What does that mean? Is it wrong for Christians to listen to secular music?
The Law: Fulfilled or Being Fulfilled?
How can I encourage my friend who is depressed? Her belief system seems to be the source! What do the five spiritual senses represent in your book, “Heaven is Now”? Who is the antichrist? Who is the man of lawlessness? When was the book of Revelation written? Did Jesus return in A.D. 70? Is there […]
“Are households automatically saved?”
Should we look to Israel as our prophetic time clock? What is eternal life in Hell really like? Is it possible that households are automatically saved after one parent believes? Do I have to read the Bible or are there other, more enjoyable ways for me personally to learn more about the gospel?
What If Everything Is Free?
Some people in our Bible study think they have to act perfectly sinless to make it to heaven. Are they right? What about after salvation? Do we have to be broken, or crushed, or experience extreme pressure in order to be used by God or enjoy the anointing of the His Spirit?
Punishment? Discipline? Loss of Salvation?
Might Jesus say “I never knew you” to Christians? What’s the difference between God’s punishment and His discipline? Can I lose my salvation? Seems like a lot of adult children are abandoning their parents these days!
“I just got saved. Now, they say I need tongues!”*
What does the resurrection mean for us personally? I just got saved recently, and now they say I need the gift of tongues to be truly saved! Why did Jesus ask the rich young ruler, “Why do you call me good?”? Are there two final judgments or only one? What will it be like? My […]
You WANT to be left behind!
What happens to those who are left behind at the rapture? One of my family members is currently transitioning his gender. He went to church recently and got saved. So Is his conversion authentic? Did Paul say that getting married is an inferior existence? How can we discern the difference between heartfelt obedience and legalism?
“I just got saved. Now, they say I need tongues!”
What does the resurrection mean for us personally? I just got saved recently, and now they say I need the gift of tongues to be truly saved! Why did Jesus ask the rich young ruler, “Why do you call me good?”? Are there two final judgments or only one? What will it be like? My […]
Are you saying sin is okay? (No way!)
Did God predestine sin in order to show off His glory? My friend said we can fall away and lose our salvation, because her brother did. Is that true? What do we do when we sin? Are you saying sin is okay?
New Testament commands? Predestination?
How is law different from grace? Are there commands in the New Testament letters? How do we view them? What does “Jacob I loved, Esau I hated” really mean? How do I convince my family they can’t lose their salvation?
“Are we saved by believing or obeying?”
What role should politics play in the life of a believer? Is it okay to have EMDR treatment for my brain trauma? Do we believe Jesus or obey Jesus to be saved? What is “the obedience of faith”? What should a believer‘s thoughts be on birthright citizenship and immigration?
