Episode notes
Salvation by Faith Alone
- Heidelberg Catechism affirms salvation by faith alone in Jesus Christ.
- It emphasizes God's grace and imputation of Christ's righteousness without merit.
Source and Confirmation of Faith
- The Catechism clarifies that faith is a gift from the Holy Spirit, received through preaching and confirmed by sacraments.
- This raises questions about the role of sacraments, especially infant baptism, in relation to faith.

- Abraham's children's circumcision and infant baptism lack explicit scriptural backing for the idea that they exercise faith.
