Episode notes
Check Core Doctrinal Agreement Before Marriage
- Do assess doctrinal overlap before marrying someone from another Christian tradition.
- Scott Clark and Harrison Perkins advise checking agreement on core creeds, penal substitution, and justification by faith as a baseline for workable unity.
Pentecostal Differences Determine How Hard It Hits
- Insight: Pentecostalism varies widely and the degree of clash depends on its intensity.
- Scott Clark contrasts 'old school' Pentecostalism (second blessing, tongues, being slain) with milder charismatic forms that mainly differ in worship style.
Listen To Shared Teaching Together
- Try studying shared resources together to bridge differences.
- Scott Clark recommends the Heidelcast series 'Feathers and All' and watching videos on the sufficiency of Scripture as a joint exercise for Reformed-Pentecostal couples.
