Questions and Responses

Question: I don’t understand why Bill Johnson and Bethel Church in Redding are not classified as a cult....They are false teachers and wolves in sheep’s clothing. What do you think?

Question: Why does Revelation 17:8 (and maybe Revelation 13:8, depending on the translation used) refer to those “whose names were not written in the book of life from the creation of the world...”?

Question: You have promoted books by A.W. Tozer, yet Tozer constantly quoted from Catholic mystics...

Question: Someone sent me a copy of a book by Chuck and Nancy Missler...

Question: Are you familiar with Randy Frazee [co-editor Max Lucado] and his book called The Story? Our church is promoting it for small group study and I have a few concerns. Would appreciate any information you may have.

Question: To "repent" means to "change one's mind." Where do you or anyone get the idea that it means to "turn away" from sin?

Question: I was recently sent a book that rather shocked me. Its title is Have Heart: Bridging the Gulf Between Heaven and Earth. It seems to do what you objected to in Heaven Is For Real [in a previous TBC article]. What do you think?

Question: Do you have any information on Dr. Scott McQuate? I have never heard of him, but his book The Tribulation has been recommended. The advertising seems so bizarre I am a little afraid to buy it.

Question: Do you know the difference between salvation and redemption?

Question: I’ve been told by a Calvinist that if I’m not a Calvinist, then I’m an Arminian. As a Christian, do I have to be one or the other?
