Simply By Grace Podcast

In June Charlie had the privilege of ministering in New Zealand at three Bible conferences and three churches. (Those messages on Romans will be available later). While there he also participated in the inaugural meeting of the Bible Coalition Forum led by Jeff Coleman (Th.M., Dallas Theological Seminary). The forum was attended by pastors and ministry leaders who came together to address theological issues at a deeper level. Charlie's presentation was on the Bible's teaching of full assurance of salvation. He discusses the prevalent problem of those unsure of their salvation and some reasons why that could be. There are systems that prohibit full assurance, like Arminianism and Calvinism. He also addresses several passages that are often misunderstood and misused to deny full assurance. Full assurance comes by believing the promise of God for eternal life, not by examining one's faith or performance. The Forum presentation was followed by a question and answer time, which will be released in a subsequent podcast.
