Summary
How do we tell the difference between core essential doctrines and secondary issues? Is the Baptism of the Holy Spirit an essential? If so, how can brothers and sisters who hold various views on the continuation of the gifts of the Spirit maintain unity in Christ? JR Miller joins the podcast to talk about his book, One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism: Spirit Baptism & Christian Unity, and the nature of unity, core essentials, and heresy.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Alisa Childers Podcast where we equip Christians to identify the core |
| 0:13.5 | beliefs of historic Christianity, discern its counterfeits, and proclaim the gospel with |
| 0:18.8 | clarity, kindness, and truth. |
| 0:20.8 | Today's episode is brought to you by Impact 360 Institute, who create life-changing experiences |
| 0:26.1 | for young people, go to Impact360.org to find out more. |

| 0:36.3 | core beliefs of historic Christianity. |

| 1:23.6 | These are issues that are tough to figure out for many people. |
| 1:27.2 | And so we're going to discuss how we can have better unity between those two groups. |
| 1:32.3 | And so one of the things I really loved about this conversation I had with Joe is that |
