Sin, Repentance, and Salvation: A Comparative Study

This chapter examines the intricate relationship between sin, repentance, and assurance of salvation from both Reformed Baptist and Catholic perspectives. It highlights how differing beliefs about salvation can lead to anxiety and doubt, especially for those with sensitive consciences. By contrasting the sacrament of confession in Catholicism with the assurance offered in Reformed Baptist theology, the chapter seeks to illuminate the strengths and weaknesses of each tradition's approach to spiritual assurance.
