Summary
Episode 917 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions.
Questions in this Episode
1. My husband and I divorced years ago but have reconciled and are together again. Do we have to be legally married once again or is our reconciliation good enough?
2. Is paedocommunion biblical, and should more Christians practice it?
3. Is the saying, "God helps those who help themselves" biblical?
4. How can the average believer be greater than John the Baptist?
5. Before the Holy Spirit revealed to me biblical theology and good teaching, I was into prosperity churches. At that time I went to an event and I had pain in my back. The speaker touched me and I felt like I blacked out and fell down. But my pain was gone after I woke up. Is this sorcery? What do you think?
