Episode notes
Respond To Bible Skeptics By Asking Clarifying Questions
- When someone says 'I don't believe in your Bible', respond with questions to clarify their objection and start with gospel basics.
- Foskey suggests asking what they mean, which contradictions bother them, and then pivot to the gospel or creation questions.
What Makes A Valid Christian Baptism
- Baptism's essential requirement is Trinitarian intent and form, not rigid verbal formulaics.
- Foskey cites Acts and tradition: slight wording differences don't invalidate baptism, but baptizing into a non‑Trinitarian God (e.g., Oneness) does.
Why Luther Remains Keith Foskey's Favorite Reformer
- Keith names Martin Luther as his favorite church history figure because Luther took a righteous stand against false teaching.
- He adds respect for Athanasius and notes the irony of being a Calvinist who admires Luther.
