Show Notes
Caller Matt from Texas asks what are the defining doctrines of Christianity? Matt points to the “Doctrine Grid” on CARM’s website. However, Matt points out that it is the individual regenerative act of God that secures one’s salvation, not simply believing a collection of doctrines.

Matt points out that in the sense of sharing things in common with others is not necessarily inconsistent with Christianity.

Matt has some additional cautions regarding the very liberal Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) followed by a brief recommendation for the more Biblically sound Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. (LCMS)
Caller John from Texas discusses loosing one’s salvation and his encounters with friends from the United Methodist Church.
Caller Brandon from Florida was brought up in an Assemblies of God environment and would like to spiritual gifts and their being used in an orderly fashion.
