Panelists: Gary Colley, Terence Mannis, Russell Kline

#528- 7/6/2014
SPECIAL PROGRAM ON: “ANSWERING ARGUMENTS DENYING THE NECESSITY OF BAPTISM FOR SALVATION.”

1. Isn’t baptism not necessary for salvation because “for” in Acts 2:38 can mean “with a view to” or “because of?” In this case, water baptism would be because they had been saved, not in order to be saved.
2. Isn’t baptism not necessary for salvation because people are saved by receiving God’s Word and Peter’s audience “gladly received the word” before they were baptized (Acts 2:41)?
3. Isn’t baptism not necessary for salvation because Paul separates baptism from the gospel in 1 Corinthians 1:17 and it is the gospel which saves us (Rom. 1:16)? Therefore, baptism is not part of what saves us.
4. Isn’t baptism not necessary for salvation because baptism is a work of righteousness (Mt. 3:15), but the Bible clearly teaches that salvation is not by works of righteousness which we have done (Tit. 3:5)?
5. Isn’t baptism not necessary for salvation because people who later believed Peter’s message clearly received the Holy Spirit before they were baptized (Acts 10:47)?
6. Isn’t baptism not necessary for salvation because Mark 16:16 is clear that unbelief is what brings damnation, not a lack of being baptized?

Example: ladies are collecting money to use for putting on their ladies’ day (decorating, etc.) but not depositing it into the church account, they are just keeping it set aside to use at their convenience.

The reasoning behind this is that we should all commune together and even though most of us partook on Sunday morning, we should not let those who missed services on Sunday morning have communion by themselves. Is such necessary?

#551- 12/14/2014
1. What can be done to develop leadership in new congregations?
2. Please discuss the importance of self-discipline in the life of a gospel preacher?
3. How does the Christian scripturally harmonize God’s foreknowledge and human free will? Since God knows the end from the beginning, how do we as members of the Church explain, with supporting scripture, that God’s foreknowledge does not equal God’s arbitrary predestination?
4. If God knows a great number of people are going to make all the wrong choices and be lost eternally (Mt. 7:13-14), why would He even let them be born in the first place?
5. Since Jesus’ death was predestined before the foundation of the world (Acts 2:23; Eph. 1:4-6), did those who crucified the Christ really have any choice in the matter? It was going to happen one way or another. No man can alter a chain of events set in motion by the Almighty Himself.

#552- 12/21/2014
1. In Matthew 28:19, the phrase “in the name” is an adverb and tells how the
baptizing was to be done. The object of the phrase is name and is modified by three prepositional phrases, which are “of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” These phrases modifying name point to Jesus as the name in which the baptizing was to be done.
2. If Jesus is the Son of God, why did He call Himself the Son of Man?
3. If a man is selected as a deacon in the church, can he be removed by the elders for giving up the one and only job he was given in the beginning? Isn’t a deacon to help with anything to be done in the church?
4. Please address the practice of hand-clapping in worship?
5. How can I help my child develop wholesome attitudes toward people of other
racial and ethnic groups?

#553-12/28/2014
1. Do we know when Christ was born?
2. Why do members of the churches of Christ not call their preachers “reverend?”
Is this not a way of expressing respect for their office?
3. Please explain Matthew 10:16. Why did Jesus instruct the disciples to be wise
as serpents and harmless as doves?
4. It is being taught that the Judgement mentioned in Romans 4:10 has nothing to
do with whether or not Christians will remain saved as they are eternally secure in their salvation. Rather, this judgment has to do with the reception or loss of rewards. Please address this.

3/10/13;
1. Doesn’t 1 Peter 3:21 teach that baptism itself is merely a figure, that it is just a picture of our salvation and therefore not essential to our salvation?
2. Doesn’t the word, rupos rendered filth in this 1 Peter 3:21 mean sin? Doesn’t this parenthetical clause also negate the idea of baptism saving from sin?

March 24, 2013- Episode #461

Panelists: Jeff Bell, Brent Arnold,Michael Gilbert

3/24/13;
1. Jesus is not almighty God. While Jesus’ opposers accused him of making himself equal to God. (John 5:18; 10:30-33), Jesus never claimed to be on the same level as Almighty God. He said: “The Father is greater than I am”in John 14:28.
2. Jesus’ early followers did not view him as being equal to Almighty God. The apostle Paul wrote in Philippians 2:9 that after Jesus was resurrected, God “exalted him to a superior position.” Obviously, Paul did not believe that Jesus was Almighty God. Otherwise, how could God exalt Jesus to a superior position?
3. Is prayer ever sinful?

#469-5/19/13
1. How do we know that the breaking of bread in Acts 20:7 refers to the Lord’s Supper as there is no wine recorded here?
2. Is there anywhere in the Bible that suggests Satan cries when a person turns from sin? I know this sounds silly, but it has actually been taught and I can’t think of any scriptures that would validate this teaching. Is the idea that Satan cries over our obedience to God a fable that should be renounced, is it a harmless allegory, or does scripture substantiate this portrayal of Satan?
3. I am puzzled by Luke 22:35-38. Why did Jesus order his disciples to buy two swords if they were not permitted to use them?
4. How can repentance be a gift from God since repenting is something we do? (2 Tim. 2:25)

1. When Jesus was born to the day He died on the cross was that God in human form?
2. God rested on the 7th day (Saturday) so why do we celebrate the sabbath day on the 1st day (Sunday)? ] 3. The 4th commandment says to keep the sabbath day holy and to do no work on the sabbath. Jesus says however that the priests profane the sabbath and are blameless and that it is okay to do good on the sabbath. However, Jesus didn’t say to work or that it was no longer a holy day of rest; so what is lawful to do on the sabbath and are we still obligated to keep this day 4th commandment?
4. What is the eternal destiny of an infant who dies?
5. If a company gives their employees more paperwork than those employees can handle and are told its too much but do nothing to the point those employees have to falsify documents just to keep up but the falsifying is not really hurting anyone or affecting quality or safety then will those employees go to hell for falsifying even though they have to do so to keep up?

7/7/13
1. Where does our soul or spirit go when we die?
2. Why did they use scrolls?
3. We recently heard it taught that the apostles at the time of their calling were all teenagers or under age twenty except for Peter. This was based on Exodus 30:12-16, 26 that those over twenty were to pay the half shekel for the temple. Yet, in Matthew 17:22, 24-27, Jesus only paid the tax for himself and for Peter. Therefore, he taught that the eleven must have been under the age of twenty. Please discuss this on your a Bible Answer program.

1. We know that of Jesus’ second coming only God the Father knows the time, but can we see any signs now as to whether it is closer with the earthquakes going on the past few years and the changing with the weather?

They say there are two different Hebrew words in the Old Testament and two different Greek words in the New Testament; one word for putting away (without a writing of divorcement

[apoluo] and divorce – the actual ending of a marriage [apostasion].  They claim  that  Malachi 2:16 does NOT say God hates “divorce” but that God hates separation even without a divorce.  Can you please discuss this?

2. Is there any scientific evidence that supports the kind of global flood which the Bible says occurred in the days of Noah?
3.  Isn’t it true that there are two different gospels, one for the Jews and one for the Gentiles (Gal. 2:7)?  The Jews only had to believe that Jesus was the Son of God. We are stablished by Paul’s gospel which was hid from the beginning of the world until God revealed it to Paul.
4.  Please address this statement: “On the day of Pentecost, Peter never talked about the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ.  Paul said he was the first to deliver Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection (1 Cor. 15:1-4).”

Panelists: Andy Brewer, Justin Paschall, Robert Charnock

1. Please discuss how to correctly read Revelation and explain it to my family?
2.  In James 1:13 it says God cannot be tempted with evil. However, John 1:1 says that Jesus was with God and was God and  John 1:14 says Jesus is God in the flesh and dwelt among us. Matthew 4:1-10 says the devil tempted and Hebrews 4:15 says Jesus, our High priest, was tempted like as we are. So could you help me understand James 1:13 better? [This comes from a prisoner who is taking a correspondence course] 3. What can we do to strengthen the faith of our children?
4. Could you please explain Genesis 10:5 and 11:6? It appears that 10:5 says there were many languages before the Tower of Babel and 11:6 says there was only one language.
