Questions answered during today's service:

Q1 (@16:19):  "How do we deal with individuals such as Ray Comfort or those who promote a false Gospel?  I find myself with a lack of patience."

Q2 (@39:15):  "I've heard many people say that one way you can tell that a person is not saved is if they don't have works because we're saved unto good works. This is confusing to me because we aren't saved by works so how are works an accurate way to tell if someone is saved? I would think that love would be the way we tell whether or not someone is saved. Love for God and love for others, but can a person love others and not show it because of fear and other challenges we face?  Aren't there obedient and disobedient children of God? Can't someone appear unsaved and actually be saved? Just because someone shakes their fist at God and turns their back on Him doesn't necessarily mean they're unsaved, it just meas that they could be like a rebellious teenager angry at their father, and if they never get over their anger does that mean they're unsaved?"

Q3 (@1:02:07):  "A non-essential is anything that isn't going to affect your salvation if you hold to it. But, there are genuine brothers and sisters out there who disagree with CES' 'grace and charity in non-essentials' because they think it's 'giving a pass' to false teachers. They use verses to try to refute CES 'grace on non-essentials' like 1 John 4 where you've got to test the spirits and watch out for false teachers, or Romans where it says mark and avoid or the OT where it talks about Israel loving false teachers. These people use the argument that God demands you to have sound doctrine which they define as to have all your theology correct. They attack our stance on love by saying that we just don't love the truth like they do, we're not as mature as they are, and we just want our ears tickled. How do you refute those?"

Q4 (@1:28:41):  "I deal with a lot of superstitious [people] at church that try to use their 'authority in Christ' (yet deny the Gospel) to 'bind and loose' demons. And of course, what happens to them? Yep, they see apparitions and get attacked thinking they're doing 'spiritual warfare'. Distraction techniques by the devil to create all kinds of false doctrine!!! To me, using this misunderstood charismatic interpretation is nothing short of Christian witchcraft!"
