Summary
“How do I respond to once saved always saved?” This question opens a discussion on the nuances of salvation, including the belief that being born again and receiving the Holy Spirit occurs only once. Other topics include the appropriateness of receiving the anointing of the sick before baptism, the interpretation of 2 Timothy 3:16, and the implications of Lent practices for recent converts.

Questions Covered:
- 02:50 – My Baptist friend believes in once saved always saved. He said being born again only happens once, and you only receive the Holy Spirit once. How do I respond?
- 17:32 – I am going to be baptized in a couple weeks. My parish gives out anointing of the sick once a month, and I was told I could receive that before being baptized. But that seems off to me.
- 19:59 – 2 Tim 3:16 says all scriptures are Godly. Which scriptures are they talking about? The NIV?
- 24:00 – On the lying question, was it wrong for Catholic priests to issue baptismal certificates to Jews in WWII?
- 41:52 – Is it sinful to marry a Catholic man who has not been circumcised?
- 44:45 – My friend is a recent convert, but still questions a lot of things. He says he’s going to eat meat on Fridays of Lent. How can I help him understand this practice?
