Questions and Responses

Question: John Avanzini claimed to “break the power of debt” for all those who pledged to support his ministry with $1 or more per day. How could anyone be gullible enough to believe he had such power...?

Question: Does TBC follow “Matthew 18” and first go to the authors and/or leaders it critiques in newsletters and books?

In Defense of the Faith

Question: If Christ took upon Himself the grave and the Lake of Fire, then there is no need of repentance and trusting Him for our salvation. Wouldn’t both penalties be paid in full?

Question: Do you recommend a certain way of studying the Bible?

Question: Did the authors follow Matthew 18 and go to the people mentioned in the book [The Seduction of Christianity] before they wrote it?

Question: God is holy and dwells apart from man in a holy place. How, then, can the Holy Spirit indwell the human heart? My heart is not pure; I am a believer and serve the Lord Jesus Christ, but I am still a sinner. I am not holy. Only God is.

Question: Why don’t evangelicals obey the Bible and practice baptism for the dead? And wouldn’t this verse indicate that something could be done for the dead after all?

Question: Wouldn’t I be better off just locking myself up with the Bible and look to the Holy Spirit alone as my teacher? After all, doesn’t the Bible say that I don’t need any man to teach me?

Question: Is it really biblical for you or anyone else to point out others’ faults? Isn’t this judging when we are not to judge? Doesn’t the Scripture say that the servant is to be left to the correction of his master who is Christ?
