When Does Temptation Become Sin? (Live Q&A)

Your Calvinist Podcast with Keith Foskey

Our weekly LIVE show answers bible and ministry questions sent into our website http://www.keithfoskey.com

Here are the questions and timestamps for this show:

Church Voting — Does the congregation not have a voice? What about Receiving Church Members Without a Vote How does your church receive new members without voting? Do the people have a say like they do with affirming elders? 28:00

Lying and Revelation 21:8 — Do biblical prohibitions on lying apply universally, even in extreme scenarios? How do we balance moral law with real-world situations like protecting others? 40:15

Sin vs. Temptation How can I tell the difference between sin and temptation? I usually treat it as sin, but I’m unsure if that’s correct. 49:15

Supralapsarianism vs. Infralapsarianism Can you explain the difference between these two views, and which one you hold to? 56:30

- Book Recommendation: The Plan of Salvation by B.B. Warfield https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Plan-of-Salvation-Audiobook/B0CM6V5MFF?source_code=ASSGB149080119000H&share_location=pdp

Pelagianism vs. Arminianism What is the difference between these two theological positions? 1:00:20

Universal Church vs. Local Church I believe the visible church is important, but some leaders say the universal church is a Roman Catholic invention. Are Baptists the only “bride of Christ”? 1:06:55

Calvinist Preaching Expectations If a Calvinist pastor never preaches explicitly on the doctrines of grace, is that a failure? I’ve been to many Reformed churches where I’d never know they were Calvinist. 1:10:00

“Seek God and He’ll Find You” What are your thoughts on the phrase, “If you start looking for God, He’ll find you before you find Him”? 1:16:30

Elder Unity on Eschatology Should a church’s elders be unified on eschatology? What if they differ on things like Revelation or the Olivet Discourse (non-dispensational)? 1:21:00

Partial-Preterist Amillennial Resources You’ve mentioned your partial-preterist Amillennialism. What resources helped you get there? I’m leaning that way but struggling to piece it all together. 1:26:40

Disagreements on Non-Essential Doctrines In our church, we don’t take hardline stances on things like eschatology or creation. Is this openness acceptable, or am I being too accommodating? 1:30:49

End-Times Films Have you seen “The Remaining” (2014)? How does it compare to “A Thief in the Night”? 1:33:44

Documentary Review Request Would you consider reviewing the “Defending Faith Baptist” documentary about the Faith Baptist and Summit Church (J.D. Greear) merger? 1:37:30

Elder Qualification Concern An elder at our church made a very inappropriate joke during youth camp and it was brought to the attention of the congregation. He was repentant, and the elders kept him with a probation. Should he have been removed instead? 1:48:00

Female Spouse Refusing Church Attendance How would you counsel a wife who refuses to attend church with her husband over a non-essential doctrinal disagreement? 1:52:45

Disrespectful Christian Parents Toward Spouse How do you respond when a Christian parent disrespects your spouse and cuts off contact after you set boundaries? 2:01:00
