JT English and Kyle Worley talk through various terms that are commonly used when talking about Romans and the doctrine of Salvation. Questions Covered in This Episode:Over the last few seasons, we have been using and introducing a ton of terms that could be new for our listeners and thought: “Mother is the repetition of learning, right?” So let’s do some review and repetition on the terms in Romans that concern the doctrine of salvation.SalvationSinRighteousnessJustificationFaithSanctificationIn Adam/In ChristFlesh/SpiritAdoptionPredestinedCalledGlorificationHelpful Definitions:Salvation: To be saved from something.Is the good news, at the highest possible level, that God loves His creation and is bent on redeeming us through the person and work of Jesus.Original Sin: We are implicated in Adam’s sin.Total Depravity: Our nature as a result of Adam’s sin.Sin: Identity: We are no longer living in the identity God has given us. Idolatry: We are born into this world not giving our worship, affection, and loyalty to God. Immorality: We don’t behave as we ought. We are unable and unwilling to choose righteousness.Righteousness:From God: Righteous standing that God gives. The source of salvation. What we need to be made in order to be saved.Of God: The perfect character of God that we are to imitate. God’s standard.His expectations of His people.His faithfulness to his covenant promises: The character of God.Justification:Is to be declared righteous by the righteous God.Forgiven for good, forever.When we are justified by the blood of Christ, we are saved from sin’s penalty.Faith:The instrument of our salvation, we draw everything from the work of Christ and contribute nothing to it.The ascent of our minds to that which God says is true. Adoration, God deserves my worship, love, and affection. Giving my actions over to Him, a life of obedience, allegiance, and loyalty.Sanctification: Freed day by day to look more and more like Jesus.As we are being sanctified, we are being saved from sin’s power.Grace: You have been given freedom so that you can live in God’s way.In Adam/In Christ: Federal Headship: You are either being represented by being in Adam or by being in Christ.Flesh/Spirit: We are born in the flesh (our natural state apart from the intervening work of God in salvation), some are reborn in Christ and because of that are able to set their minds on things of the Spirit.Adoption: We have been invited to fellowship with God. The beloved Father who welcomes us to His table.Compatibilist: Hold in tension that God is sovereign and providential over everything and yet our wills are compatible and fully free within His sovereignty.Predestined: God elects a people for himself before the foundations of the world.Called:General Call of the Gospel: The gospel proclamation to everyone.Effectual Call: Those whom God predestined he calls through the preaching of the gospel into salvation. The spirit wrought activity of awakening the heart and bringing that person into Christ Jesus.Glorification:There is a time that is coming in the future where we will be gifted a resurrected body and we will be glorified. Meaning we will be free from even the ability to sin. We will be transformers from one degree of glory to the next. We increasingly become aligned with who Christ is.When we are glorified, we are finally and fully saved from sin's presence.Resources Mentioned in This Episode:Romans 1:16, Romans 1: 26-32, Romans 1:18, Romans 6:1-4, Galatians 2:20, Romans 8:5, Romans 8:9, 8:18-25, 8:29, Genesis 4, Genesis 12:1-3, Romans 10Knowing Faith Episode #128 – The Internal Struggle with Dr. Tom SchreinerAmazon affiliate links are used where appropriate.

They are joined by Dr. Mike Bird to take a look at Romans 9 and the study of Paul.Questions Covered in This Episode:Before we jump into Romans 9: How did we get here? What’s the flow and argument of the letter so far?How does the audience of this letter shape the way we read Romans 9?What is the argument of chapter 9?Romans 9:6-7 appears to be distinguishing between two kinds of Israel? Is that correct?Is Paul trying to make the argument that the promises of God to Israel are not for all of ethnic Israel and are only for the children of the promise?What are people's working assumptions of Israel in the Bible?Is there a more pressing question for Paul? Is God faithful (V. 6)?The most incendiary section of this chapter to modern readers is Romans 9:13-18. How does Paul build the tension in his argument? How does he relieve it?Why would you encourage someone to read Romans 9? If you just had to steer people away from the biggest misunderstanding, in your view, of Romans 9: How would you caution them?Study of Paul: What do you see right now as some of the most interesting questions that are being asked in Pauline scholarship?Complementarianism: Why do you care about the issue of women in the church?Helpful Definitions:Israel: The name for the sacred people in the Jewish sacred history.Ethnic Israel: Those who are genetically, biologically, or familially part of the people of God.Israel according to the promise: A subtype within ethnic Israel.

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley answer questions submitted from their patron supporters! To learn more and become a patron visit patreon.com/knowingfaith.Questions Covered in This Episode:“Do you have recommendations for books/podcasts/resources/etc for doing something similar but age appropriate for older kids?”“Is the language about God being Father & Son literal or figurative or both?”“Are we ever at risk of reading too much into parallels, types, significant numbers etc. and drawing conclusions that weren’t intended as we attempt to comprehend and interpret on our own?”“Why do you think that in the New Creation there will be no darkness (Rev. 21:22-25) yet in the first creation, before there was sin, God created darkness and light? 1 Jn 1:5 says there is no darkness in God, but why then did God create night in the first place?”“Regarding Gen 3:24. What happened to the garden, the cherubim & flaming sword after Adam and Eve left? What happened to the tree of life or tree of knowledge of good & evil?”“What is a theological belief or tradition that you used to hold too firmly but changed your mind (or at least you are no longer as confident in)?”“I’ve been wrestling with postmillennialism, amillennialism, and premillennialism eschatology and have been leaning towards post. I know it’s not an essential of our faith but I was wondering what you guys can comment on this and any good resources as well.”“Are you ever worried about how much influence you are having through the podcast?”“Is justification by faith alone a first-tier ("essentials") issue in your view? It seems that many evangelicals do think so, but if so, how does that affect how we view people in church history like Thomas Aquinas, if this doctrine is an "essential" belief to be saved?”“Is there a resource that charitably explains what different Christian denominations believe?”“What is one of your favorite things about your fellow cohosts/friends/frohosts? How do they encourage you?”“Is the Son the only person of the Trinity we see "embodied" (I'm not even sure if it's ok to use that word in relation to the Trinity at this point) in the scriptures or do we see the Father and the Spirit take on a form? For example, is the one Isaiah sees on the throne in Isaiah 6 the Son? The Father? The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? Outside of the incarnation, how do we apply good Trinitarian theology to moments when we see God taking on "embodied" forms like in Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Revelation or more general forms like the burning bush, pillar of cloud and fire, etc.?”“I only recently came to understand that the resurrection of Jesus Christ actually changes my reality now (on this side of eternity). How should we think about the transformative power of the resurrection as it relates to the topic of besetting sins?”“Is it important that Adam was a historical figure? If so, why?”“Each of y’all’s simple tips for studying scripture on your own.”“Historically God has always had masculine pronouns but recently I’ve noticed gender-neutral pronouns are being used more often (particularly in scholarly writings). Is our understanding of God as masculine or gender-neutral an important aspect of our relationship with God? How does that impact our view of men and women being made in the image of God?”“When reading Acts, it seems like the apostles go out of their way to lay hands on new converts and ensure they are specifically filled/baptized with the Holy Spirit in a way that causes them to prophecy, speak in tongues, etc. This seems like an additional step, not synonymous with water baptism. The apostles didn’t seem to think that we are filled upon conversion, but rather manually through specific prayer. As believers today, are we missing something? Should we be doing this after we baptize someone? Am I lacking the Spirit if I haven’t been converted with this procedure?”“In Isaiah 9:6 Jesus Christ, the Son is referred to both as Son and as Everlasting Father...How does this work out in the Trinitarian community? Is there a lending of their titles? ‘For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.’”“In the OT, the Angel of the Lord is often a Christophany. In Matthew 1:20 is this also a Christophany?““How should Protestants read the early fathers if their leanings are more Catholic (the church)?  Should we ignore their beliefs on Mary or communion?”“References are made to the gift of tongues throughout the NT. There seem to be two types, one of which is speaking a known language, and the other which is a bit less clear - some sort of tongues of angels or heavenly language. Paul says in Corinthians not to forbid tongues. Why is this not commonly exercised in our circles? Are we missing out on some sort of joyous fellowship with the Spirit by not pursuing this, at least in personal prayer, if not in community with other saints?”“Can you give a run through of some of the differences between dispensationalism and covenant theology. Are they in direct conflict with one another or can they be harmonized?”“Lately I’ve had real difficulty accepting an impassible view of God, especially when considering the suffering of Jesus on the cross. It is hard for me to think that the Father, so intimately united with the Son, did not also suffer out of compassion for him. Did God feel nothing as he watched his son die? The last thing I gather from the incarnation/crucifixion is that the Father is apathetic, so my understanding of impassibility must be off. But I don’t understand how God who is capable of love could be incapable of suffering or emotion, and I would love to hear y’all’s thoughts.”“Per Scripture, is baptism presented as being a part of salvation? Or, put another way, is baptism when your sins are forgiven?”“Thanks for the JL Packer essay - Early in the essay Packer defines "Unconditional election" as God's free, sovereign, unconditional choice for sinners, as sinners to be redeemed.  He then goes on to define "Limited atonement" as "The redeeming work of Christ had as its end and goal the salvation of the elect."  Is there any easy way to understand how this can be a free choice for sinners and yet you are also elect?”“What advice would you give your 25-year-old self or a 25-year old Patron with a desire to pastor?““What would your recommendation be regarding the use of outside curriculum in your church classes/studies? How would you balance using outside resources as opposed to training up your own teachers and developing your own materials?”“Why does it say in Romans 5:15 “many” died by the trespass of [Adam], versus everyone/all? Don’t we all experience death and it’s only through faith & allegiance to Christ that we can be born and experience true life again? Interestingly, almost all main translations have “the many.”“What book of the Bible do you think you’ve read/reread the most and what is it about that book that keeps drawing you back?”“Do you all reject or affirm the concept of “autotheos”? Currently reading Arminian Theology by Roger Olson in order to have a more well rounded understanding.”Where do you think the line is for having a proper place of spiritual authority?“I am wondering all y'all's thoughts on the movement of evangelicals to embrace "Torah Observance" and return to keeping the OT law. In discussing this with a friend who is being drawn to this new (old) way of life, my thoughts have been on Paul's comments about the Law in Romans. She brought up 2 Peter 3:16-17 and Peter's comments about Paul's teaching being misunderstood and misapplied leading to "lawlessness." I'd love to hear your thoughts! ““If we are continually be interceded for by God the Son (Jesus), are those who were spoken to by God in the Old Testament being spoken to from God the Son, or God the Father? The New Testament seems to suggest that we only have access to the Father through the Son, but I often hear people talk about God’s words spoken to the prophets as coming from God the Father. How should we think about the trinitys function in the Old Testament, specifically concerning God speaking to men?“What recommendations or resources can you suggest to help women who want to grow their skills leading small group discussion?Helpful Definitions:Eternally Begotten: The Son’s unique attribute in relation to the Father and the Spirit: the Son is sourced in the Father, but there was never a time when the Son began. All things are from the Father, through the Son and by the Spirit.Eternally Unbegotten: The Father is without origin (never been born, made, or created) and He is the fount of divinity.Archetypal Knowledge: Knowledge of God that God himself only possesses; true and full.Ectypal Knowledge: Our knowledge of God is true but not full because of our finitude.Chiasm: Is a literary technique that has bookend statements that work their way inward.Christophany: An appearance of the Son of God before the incarnation.The resurrection power of Christ means that we have been delivered from the penalty of sin. The resurrection power of Christ means that we are currently being delivered from sin’s power and the resurrection power of Christ means one day we will be delivered from sin's presence.Autotheos: Self existence of God.Resources Mentioned in This Episode:Revelation 21:22-25, 1 John 1:5, Genesis 2:3, Genesis 3:24, 1 John 2:1, Isaiah 9:6, John 10:30, Matthew 1:20, Romans 5:15, John 13-17, Hebrews 1, John 15:26patreon.com/knowingfaithThe Bible Project“A Case for Amillennialism” by Kim Riddlebarger“Postmillennialism” By Keith A.

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley answer questions from listeners.Questions Covered in This Episode:“Jen, I have heard you at least twice talk about situations where it’s ok to lie → I think you used the phrase “truth to whom truth is due” → How does that fit with scriptures' admonitions against lying? You guys are some of the best bible teachers I know so obviously you're not saying to just lie whenever. Please help! Thanks Jen for all the work you do keeping JT and Kyle in line and on track!”“What do you think of the conversations about how we should not refer to ourselves as sinners once we’re saved?”Who is having this argument?“JT, if God knew his plan of unconditional election would send the majority of people he created to hell, why did he create man at all?”“What’s your best marriage advice?”What do you think of the idea of dating your spouse?“Thoughts on Christians reading apocryphal documents?”“What is your favorite book that you read in 2021, and what books are you reading now?”“How should believers regard secular art/entertainment with obviously biblical themes? I watched Dune this weekend and found it to have a lot of biblical themes.

Could you explain its basic tenets?”“What’s your favorite thing about being in ministry?”Best books on church planting?Helpful Definitions:Sinner: One who is separated from God, alienated, fundamentally unrighteous, and in Adam or under the federal headship of Adam.Apocryphal Documents: Noncanonical documents (or books) that are related to the history of stories you might find in the Bible, adjacently, directly or indirectly, that speak to some of the issues of the Jewish people. For example: the intertestamental period, 1 & 2 Maccabees.The Gospel: Life, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension of Christ mean that I am free from sin's penalty, I am being freed from sin’s power, and I will one day be free from sin's presence.Predestination: God chose a people for himself (Romans 9, Genesis 12) so that he might receive glory among all peoples, all nations, all tribes, forever.Resources Mentioned in This Episode:Exodus 1:15-22, Hebrews 10:14, Romans 9:19-23, John 3:16, 1 Timothy 3 , Titus 1, Genesis 12“Grant” by Ron Chernow“Band of Brothers” HBO Series“Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” by Jonathan Safran Foer“Jesus and John Wayne” by Kristin Kobes Du Mez“The Lymond Chronicles” by Dorothy Dunnentt“The Red Rising Series” by Pierce Brown“Live No Lies” by John Mark Comer“Band of Brothers” by Stephen E.
