In this episode, I review parts of the video released by American Gospel, where Sam Storms and Michael Brown have a conversation with Jim Osman and Justin Peters on the topic of the charismatic movement and if the leading figures are false teachers or if they are headed for hell.
Both sides make several good points, but the conveersation also goes off the rails at points. This is an excellent opportunity to discuss what the "foundational" doctrines of the Christian Church are, what accountability in the local church should look like, and how the internet and Youtube have created the wild west of doctrine and practice.

In this episode I begin with some comments about the "online world" of theology and apologetics. Then we continue our study through the book of Romans. We walk through this passage and define the terms and show what all who are "in Adam" recieve from Adam and we also look at what all who are "in Christ" recieve from him. We also read a passage from The Discipline of Grace by Jerry Bridges on the federal headship of Adam and Christ, and set the stage for the next part of Romans, chapters 6-7.
We continue working through an article written by Christopher Bounds entitled "How Are People Saved? The Major Views Of Salvation With a Focus On Wesleyan Perspectives And Their Implications" . In this episode we finish up our discussion of Semi-Pelagianism and read some quotes from a Semi-Pelagian leaning (according to Bounds) writer in the Wesleyan tradition. Then we start to cover Semi-Augustinianism, and take a deep dive into the concept of "prevenient grace", which is, according to Bounds, the key distinctive of this view. We then read from Roger Olson's book "Arminian Theology: Myths and Realities", and see what he has to say about prevenient grace. Enjoy!

In this episode ,we continue our verse by verse study of the book of Romans and we look at the controversial question of what it means that death spread to all men, "because all sinned". What does this phrase mean? Does it simply mean that all humans born from Adam inherit a sin nature and will eventually sin and die? Or is there something more Paul is saying here? Tune in and find out!
We also look at the Westminster Confession and it's teaching on the Fall of Adam and original sin.
In this special live episode, Pastor Steve Vinay from Abiding Grace Church joins us to walk through James 2 and Romans 4, to discuss how James and Paul are actually standing back to back fighting against 2 different issues, rather than seeing them as contradicting each other.

In this episode, we review an interview that Dr. Matthew Barrett did with Dr. Craig Carter, where he was asked the question, "what is biblicism" and what is wrong with it. We look briefly at how Dr. James White frames this issue, and then we dive into Dr. Carter's comments. We also read from Phillip Shaff and we read from Athanasius himself.

In this new episode, we begin our study of the Four Views of Salvation (Pelagianism, Semi-Pelagianism, Semi-Augustinianism and Augustinianism), by working through an article written by Christopher Bounds entitled "How Are People Saved? The Major Views Of Salvation With a Focus On Wesleyan Perspectives And Their Implications" .
We discuss the spectrum of Pelagianism and Augustinianism, the concepts of synergism vs. monergism and we look at some of Pelagius;s writings.
