Episode notes
Gospel Allegiance Model
- The main premise of Gospel Allegiance is a misunderstanding of the Gospel and faith's meaning.
- Correcting these leads to the "gospel allegiance model" of salvation.
Pistis: Faith and Faithfulness
- The Greek word pistis encompasses both "faith" and "faithfulness".
- English distinguishes these concepts, unlike Greek, where pistis remains ambiguous unless context demands clarification.
Trust and Allegiance to a King
- Trusting a king implies heightened responsibility beyond simple trust.
- It includes loyalty, faithfulness, and service, representing both trust and trustworthiness.
