How Would You Define Saving Faith?

September 15, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - faith as intellectual assent, saving faith

Why Is Faith in Christ Confusing for So Many?

July 26, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - faith as persuasion, saving faith
Hundreds of people send us questions about what it means to believe in Jesus. We answer these questions often in our blogs, podcasts, and videos. John 3:16 says that “whoever believes in Him” will not perish but has everlasting life. Yet the simple words whoever believes in Him are incomprehensive to many, for some reason.

Do Universalists Have Saving Faith?

June 24, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Eschatology, saving faith, universalism
Q: If assurance is of the essence of saving faith, and universalists have assurance of their salvation through Jesus because they believe everyone will be saved in the end, do they have saving faith?

certainty, Faith, saving faith, Trust
Today, on Grace in Focus radio, we are continuing our conversation about the word "faith."

Do Not Let the Anti-Assurance Bird Make a Nest in Your Hair

August 18, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Assurance of Salvation, false professions, genuine faith, saving faith
A regular reader of our blogs named John asks this insightful question: I just read your latest blog concerning Dead Spoken Faith Alone.

April 13, 2020 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Faith, saving faith
Q. In your blog on Five Differences Between Perseverance of the Saints and Eternal Security, you said that salvation takes a “single act of faith.” Can you address“single act of faith”?
