Calvinism and John 3:16

Join Michael, David and Chris as they discuss how Calvinists understand John 3:16? "For God so loved the world" and "whosoever believes in Him" seem to some to be opposed to the Calvinistic emphasis on God's sovereign electing grace.  Is this really so? Join us to hear a Calvinist's response.

Demon Possession

Join Michael, Andrew and Dillon as they work through another listener question: "Is there still demon possession today? If so, how do we identify it, and what do we do?"  Many Christians are concerned with the prospect of demonic activities in or around their lives.  How can the Bible help us understand and deal with this concern?

Eternal Conscious Torment

Join Michael, David, Andrew and Dillon as they consider the validity of eternal conscious torment versus annihilation.  Annihilationism has come into the spotlight recently in some Christian circles.  What is the argument behind this teaching?  Is it biblical?  What are ramifications of accepting or rejecting these doctrines?
