I can do no other
Many people wonder whether they are truly saved. The Bible shows that the evidence of being born again lies not in a sinless life, but in a changed heart: a longing for Christ, a struggle against sin, and the work of the Holy Spirit.
In this article, we look at two theological ideas: Free Grace and Lordship Salvation. One group says that all you need to do is believe, whilst the other says that true faith is always evident in your life. And both sides sometimes even go so far as to call each other ‘dangerous’ or ‘heretics’. So what does the Bible actually mean by ‘believing’?
Today we’re exploring three common reasons why people think they’re Christians: baptism, church attendance and an intellectual faith. We’ll compare these with the Bible and discover a challenging yet liberating truth. Keep watching, because this could well be the most important message you’ll ever hear.
I would like to take a look at this doctrine of ‘once saved, always saved.’ I have a difficult time to decide what theology around this topic is most waterproof.

David de Vos presents himself with a modern “Luther moment”, but the doctrine he proclaims – universalism – is anything but new. In this video, I show why this message is an old heresy that undermines the core of the gospel.
Why did God place the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden in the first place? Wasn’t that a trap? If God knew that Adam and Eve would sin, why did He put that tree there? At first glance, that seems like a valid question — but only if we misunderstand what that tree actually represented.
Imagine having to die for a story. Not a vague idea or some philosophy, but an actual story of which you were part off yourself. That was exactly the choice the first eyewitnesses of Jesus were facing. They did not die for a fairytale, they died for what they had seen with their own eyes.

Have you ever wondered what the Bible says about Israel’s future? For many, this topic evokes curiosity and often confusion. Don’t panic! That feeling is not strange.

Whenever I talk about certain teachings within the Church, I often say that this or that teaching isn’t causing you to be lost when believed wrongly.

The opinions are divided The idea of the rapture of the church keeps us busy, right? At least it keeps me busy! Especially now that we see all the developments around Israel, this topic becomes very relevant for many Christians. Are we in a march towards the one world order as we can read in […] 
Many Christians yearn for the boldness we read about in early church. Many of us listen with admiration to the stories of missionaries and evangelists.

Introduction I recently received a comment on one of my posts on my website.

I guess this is the follow-up of the last video in which we tackled the doctrine of ‘once saved, always saved.’ Can a Christian lose salvation? Good question! What is a Christian?
