Manage episode 426865055 series 3502666
In this episode, Dan Sanchez and Pastor Ridley Barron dive into the challenging topic of questioning one's salvation, inspired by Ridley's recent sermon from Acts 8. They explore the importance of grounding one's faith in biblical truths rather than misconceptions and the necessity of self-examination in a believer's life. Ridley explains that the intention behind questioning salvation is not to instill doubt but to encourage believers to verify their faith's foundation. The discussion touches on various misconceptions Christians might hold, such as relying on good works, the "once saved, always saved" doctrine, and universalism, emphasizing the need for a genuine, repentant relationship with Christ.
