We live in a day and age where many cults exist. Sadly, many people don't realize they are in a cult that has used the Scriptures for their own purposes and gain. Some use it for financial gain while others use it for the gain of self glory. Scripture reveals that in the redemption of His people, God has eliminated any possibility of “personal” boasting before Him in that He has purposed, provided and completed and work of redemption by His mercy (Grace) and nothing can thwart His work and no man can be lost if Christ has paid for their sins. This episode deals with the holistic teaching of God's grace as effectual and the implications of its power.

Election is taught in the bible, therefore it is a Biblical doctrine.

For the most part of the 20th century, altar calls and other prominent “offers” of salvation have been utilized to draw millions to a so-called gospel only to see that a majority of those millions still have no assurance of eternal life. This podcast discusses this issue and what the church should understand in history and in practice of these techniques. When it comes to these practices, Edward and James both have extensive experience with ministries who employed them. Edward was once with the Power Team, an evangelistic, altar-call ministry. Most of all, the scripture teaches us what we should know about the traditions of men concerning the call to faith.
