Topics include the New Testament's teachings on believer's baptism, the Jewish background of baptism, the availability of books on believer's baptism, contrasting perspectives on the children of believers, the meaning of holiness in 1 Corinthians 7:14, and the appropriate age for baptism.

In episode 41, Dr. James Renihan and I discuss the doctrine of total depravity. This doctrine is typically addressed first when considering the doctrine of salvation, for here the condition of man is established. What does God do for sinners to save them from their sins? We will better understand what he does when we consider his works against the backdrop of our inability and need.

In episode 40, Dr. James Renihan and I introduce a series on the doctrines of grace, also called the five points of Calvinism. Here we attempt to lay foundations that are crucial for a proper understanding of the doctrine of salvation. I would recommend that you also listen to episode 35 on the covenant of redemption. Important foundations were laid in that episode which help us to better understand the doctrine of salvation.
