Summary: Twisted Scripture, Twisted Theology (Program #8) Verse: Philippians 2:12 is a verse that has been used by some to declare that salvation requires works but “working out your salvation” is not about earning one’s salvation which Ephesians 2:8-9 declares is not possible. Philippians 2:12 is discussing sanctification, obedience, and perseverance. Brannon takes you to I Corinthians 9:24-27, Matthew 24:3, Colossians 1:22-23, Philippians 3:12-16, I John 2:19 and II Timothy 2:12 to use scripture to interpret scripture. Verse: Mark 16:16 reads “He who believes and is baptized will be saved.” Why is this verse not saying baptism is needed for salvation? Verse: John 3:5. When Jesus told Nicodemus he must be born of water and the Spirit what did Jesus mean by water? Was Jesus talking about the water of a pregnant women and her “water” breaking? Was Jesus talking about baptism or Jewish ceremonial washing or the spiritual washing of the spirit that occurs at the point of salvation? Topic: We take a call from a mother that rejoices over the salvation of her 32 your old son. This mother gives a powerful testimony that encourages parents to not give up on loving their prodigal children and to not stop praying for them or speaking Biblical truth to them.
