This week, our lead question comes from William, who asks:
"I used to go to a Baptist church years ago that believed in “once truly saved, always saved.” Well, I got out of church for years and now find myself going to my wife's chosen church, which is Church of God, who believe in falling from grace after salvation and going to hell. I'm very confused, and to compound seriousness, we take our grandkids to church with us. I am afraid of them being taught wrongly about salvation! Please help."

This week's Big questions:
0:00 Greetings & Introduction
0:34 Lead Question
8:23 How should we understand and respond to claims that Chuck Smith predicted Christ’s return in 1981, and does that undermine his teaching or the credibility of Calvary Chapel today?
15:54 Does Enduring Word lean more toward Wesleyan or Calvinist doctrine?
19:40 How should we understand 1 Timothy 1;19 in the debate over whether true believers can fall away, or whether falling away only proves they were never truly saved?
23:48 If Hebrews 3;15 warns people not to harden their hearts, does this mean God’s grace can be resisted, even if some teach that grace is irresistible?
31:51 Did Jesus die for and forgive every person’s sins in a general sense that must be personally accepted, or did He only forgive the sins of those who repent and believe? If Judas had repented, could he have been redeemed?
39:00 How can believers find assurance of salvation in Christ without being unsettled by competing theological systems like Calvinism and Arminianism?
39:40 Is there any biblical merit to conditional immortality, the idea that the unsaved are not naturally immortal but only believers receive eternal life?
43:14 Is there any credibility to the idea that the true location of the temple is at the Gihon Spring, and that this affects the possibility of rebuilding it?
45:44 Is there any significance to the colors of the four horsemen matching the colors of flags in nations surrounding Israel?
46:54 How should a Christian discern when a church or speaker is moving in a dangerous direction, especially regarding claims of apostleship, authority, and movements like the “seven mountains”?
52:00 Is it necessary for Christians to participate in the Lord’s Supper, and are there any prerequisites for taking it?
52:56 How can the Holy Spirit be explained clearly to young people in youth ministry?
54:52 How important is it for Christians to pray together?
55:32 Are all Christians properly described as bondservants of Jesus, as Paul often calls himself?
55:45 Is it ever appropriate for a Christian to take someone to court?
56:16 Should a believer attend a church that has only female pastors, or is it better not to attend in that situation?
58:10 What is the difference between the “old man” and the “flesh,” and how do we understand crucifying the flesh daily if the old man has already been crucified?
59:12 How should a Christian respond when someone practicing tarot card reading is working in their home, and is any kind of spiritual cleansing necessary?
