Is Baptism Necessary for Salvation? Is it Ever OK to Lie? Was Peter Really the First Pope?
Join host Nate on Ask a Christian Podcast as he tackles why people "mess up" baptism – is it essential for salvation, or just a symbolic act? With some self-deprecating humor about his caffeine-fueled disorganization (blame the dentist appointment!), Nate dives into Acts 2, 8, 9, 10, and Matthew 28, arguing forgiveness comes through faith in Jesus, not water. He calls out traditions over Scripture and dismisses Peter as pope. The chat evolves into a heated debate: Is lying always a sin, even to save lives like Rahab did? Plus, unpacking Sabbath laws in Numbers 15 – was that stick-gatherer just defiant, or is there more to "doing good"? Perfect for seekers questioning faith, salvation, and ethics. Don't miss this raw, Bible-focused discussion!
