WARRING BELIEFS—CAN CONTINUATIONISTS AND CESSATIONISTS FIND COMMON GROUND?

Wretched Radio with Todd Friel

Segment 1:

• Peacemaking in Theology: Are the warring camps of continuationists and cessationists closer than they think?

• Spirit in Tandem with Jesus: The Spirit’s role today isn’t independent; it aligns with Jesus’ Word.

• Holy Spirit and Experience: Can we embrace the Spirit’s ongoing work without compromising Scripture?

Segment 2:

• Luther’s Bold Claim: Martin Luther taught that our souls are in bondage to Satan, needing the Spirit for true freedom.

• The Will’s True State: Even our decision-making leans on the Spirit’s intervention.

• Monergist vs. Synergist: Do we work with God for salvation, or does God act alone?

Segment 3:

• New Label, Same Problem: Are some churches “Gospel-Centered” in name only, missing the focus on Jesus?

• Gospel vs. Jesus: Have we replaced the name of Jesus with a more comfortable “Gospel” label?

• Heaven’s Familiarity: Heaven might feel more familiar than we think—keeping focus on the true Gospel is essential.

Segment 4:

• Why Church Membership Matters: A local church unites people of different backgrounds in a high view of Jesus.

• Russell Brand’s Journey: For people like Russell Brand, the best growth happens in community.

• Christian Institutions Shifting: Even Harvard’s Christian roots are fading, with secular influences like “Taylor Swift canon” gaining ground.
