Summary
Episode 926 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions.
Questions in this Episode
1. Is the sinner's prayer biblical?
2. When the disciples cried out for comfort in the storm, Jesus was there. I have heard many preachers say that Jesus will comfort us when we cry out to him and others say that we won't get that comfort until heaven. Unfortunately I am going through a divorce process that I desperately do not want. My prayers have not been answered. One prayer I pray every day is that I want to feel the comfort of Christ and honestly I have never felt that. What is the biblical idea behind this? Is he there? Is he not always there, may he never be there for me?
3. I feel called to preach but I already have a family and don't make much money, so I won't be able to take theology courses. What are resources you recommend to help equip me to preach?
4. What is the sect The Assemblies of Yahweh? What do you think about them?
5. In Leviticus 5 it says that anyone who touches a leper becomes unclean. But in Matthew 8 Jesus touches a leper and isn't considered unclean. Why is that?

| 0:59.6 | Calvin, what's your question for Pastor Adriel? |
| 1:02.1 | Hey, thank you for taking my call. |
| 1:03.9 | Thank you. |
| 1:04.8 | I'm a born-again believer. |
| 1:07.0 | And my question is coming from Matthew 28, Acts 238, Romans, I think chapter 6, talking about baptism. |
| 1:16.6 | I've been, I believe in Jesus Christ, Son of God, believe in baptism, was baptized. |
| 1:22.5 | And my question is, I've heard that for some preachers say you have to say the sinner's prayer, and then others say |
| 1:29.9 | you have to just believe, repent, confess. And I read, that's what I read in the Bible, |
| 1:35.1 | you know, believe, repent, confess. So my question is, what, how is the sinner's prayer valid? |
| 1:43.3 | What's the validity in the sinner's prayer? |
| 1:47.8 | Calvin, thank you for that question. Yeah, I mean, so is the sinner's prayer like one of the |
| 1:52.1 | steps in the process of salvation, quote, unquote? I mean, this is something that an individual |
| 1:57.3 | has to do to pray a specific prayer in order to receive Jesus Christ. This is something that, you know, a number of evangelists have done. You know, people will go up and do these crusades or even, you know, a pastor after his service, inviting people up and saying, you know, we want you to say this prayer. You can repeat after me. And usually it goes something like, you i know i'm a sinner i need you jesus please come into my life forgive my sins amen |
