Episode 13 - Can We Lose Our Salvation?
•
Derek, Paulo, and Mark
In this episode, we address a question every Christian has probably wrestled with in their lifetime. Is it possible to lose your salvation? How do we balance calls to be assured of our identity in Christ against warnings of ingenuine faith? If we cannot earn our salvation, does it even make sense to think about losing it? We try to gain some perspective on these issues in our discussion.
