Works & Grace:On the grace & works issue, i was watching a documentary that said you don't need to "strive" for salvation, & someone thinking they can do something to please God is wrong, & there are verses that say we are automatically justified, but didn't Jesus tell us to strive? [Luke 13:24]
Church Membership:Having to believe a church's distinctive doctrines in order to be a member of that church, what do you think about that? Just on the doctrine of eternal torment which they believe in, but I don't, I'd have a problem signing the membership card.
Devil Tormented Forever:Is the Devil tormented forever or will he eventually be burned into non-existence? I've been reading Edward William Fudge's book, "The Fire that Consumes" that says that he'll be burned. [Revelation 20:10]
Jesus' Appearances after Resurrection:Why didn't Jesus appear to more people, especially unbelievers, after His resurrection, because wouldn't it have made Christianity explode even faster? His resurrection is the paramount evidence to Christianity.
Quakers:Do you know anything about the Quakers? Do they really not have a pulpit, so anyone can go up & speak instead of just having it for a sole Pastor?
Slain from the Foundation of the World:NASB says seems to apply the phrase, "slain from the foundation of the world" in a completely different location, changing the meaning. Is that true? [Revelation 13:8]
Free Will & Being Saved:So you think people will be saved because of Free will, so they won't be saved from what? What does being saved mean? Saved from what?
Hell - Lake of Fire:Caller thinks Steve needs to specify what he means by what people are saved from. Are they saved from eternal damnation? With the fact that Steve believes in the possibility of Universal Reconciliation.
Baptism of the Holy Spirit & Fire:What is the difference between being baptized with just the Holy Spirit & being baptized with the Holy Spirit & Fire? [Acts 1:5, Matthew 3:10-12, Acts 2]
Healing the Sick:This verse in James almost makes it sounds like it's a sure thing that a person will be healed if they are prayed over. What do you say? [James 5:14-15]
God Chooses People & Thief on Cross Baptized:God Chooses people, the caller thinks. Also, caller thinks the thief on the cross was baptized by public declaration. [1 Corinthians 1:26]
Anger about People taking Advantage of Food Charity Program:Caller is mad that some people who are taking advantage of the Food bank program & wonders if she has a right to be angry.
Seventh Day Adventists & Revelation Seminars:When Seventh Day Adventists have Revelation Seminars & they get converts for Baptism, they are getting baptized into their church, right?
"Refuse to be offended":I really enjoyed the series of lectures called, "Refuse to be Offended". (At the end of the call it starts becoming very distorted.)
Baptism:Church of Christ People think you MUST be baptized in order to get to heaven, even though it is commanded, but if you don't, you are doomed, & the thief on the Cross didn't matter because it was before the New Covenant.
Christians & Current Social Trends & Lecture:Caller was wondering if Steve he recorde the talk he had just had on current social issues such as homosexuality & terrorism, & would he give some of the highlights of that meeting.
Halloween:Is Halloween celebration Satanic? How do Christians feel about it? (Steve's had a very bad connection all of a sudden & has to reboot halfway through the answer.)
Jesus' Broken Body:When it talks about communion in the Bible, only one time it uses the phrase, "His broken body", & so does it matter if the word "broken" or not?

Eternal Security, Once Saved, always saved:Caller is convinced that there's no way we can loose our salvation, can't be snatched away by the devil. [John 10:28]
