Will Not Taking Communion Hinder My Future In Heaven?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "My Son and I are former Mormons. He moved to Georgia and joined a phenomenal Baptist church there. My home is in Denver, CO. and after visiting him In Georgia on several occasions, I fell in love with this church. When I came home and then COVID hit all of us, I watched the Sunday sermons online every week and still do. My Son has passed away and I want to continue to watch this Pastor’s sermons in Georgia. Will continuing to watch online, but not be able to take communion, hinder my desire for my future in Heaven? Thank you for your response.”

Leaving A Church

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "Hello Dr. Betters. I'm a Christian who attends an Evangelical church that has never preached on the 2nd Coming in the 50 years I've attended though they teach and preach the Gospel. They are not preaching the whole Word of God. I have friends there. Would it be wrong for me to split my time between this church and a more dynamic church that is not afraid to preach from I and II Thessalonians?"

Is God Calling Me To Preach?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "Thank you so much Dr. Betters for answering my question. I'm sure you are a busy man and I feel like you are directly talking to me like my grandfathers did before Christ brought them home. It has really brought some memories back to me. I have so many more questions to send to you in the future about scripture and personal experiences. If I may ask one more question, How do you know if God is calling you to preach? How do you know if you are getting called to ministry? If I may ask how did you know?"

“Are We Baptized 2 Times?”

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "D & K ask "Well, you got the gospel correct. Believe the gospel Jesus gave to Paul for us today to be saved by and put our trust in that alone saves us for all eternity. The gospel being that Jesus died, shedding His blood, was buried and rose from the dead for the forgiveness of our sins. But then you said we need to be water baptized. May I ask where you get that in the bible that we are making a "public" (though done in the privacy of a church). One question I have for you if I may? Paul (from who we only get our salvation message from) said there is one baptism. Eph 4:5. But also says the Spirit baptizes EVERY believer into the body of Christ. So which "one" is it: Baptized into water by a man? or Baptized into the body of Christ BY the Spirit, no water necessary? 1Cor 12:13 KJV For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. I guess one more question: How do you make 1 = 2?"

“I Debunked Your Explanation Of Baptism”

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "Hey Dr. Betters, who was the public demonstration for when only Phillip and the Ethiopian eunuch went down in the water and the eunuch was BAPTIZED? No one else was there. No church congregation, no family to witness it. They were in the desert. That's how easily you're "outward expression" is debunked, by simply using scripture to prove a man made doctrine wrong."

Does Baptism Save?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "I was raised in the Church of Christ. They are very adamant that all should be baptized for the remission of your sins. That's what I've grown up thinking. But I trust you Dr. Betters. You explain things so well. There's a lot of things in the CofC that I'm questioning lately. Not that they're wrong. But they're not necessary. Let me ask another question, what about communion? Are we to take it weekly?"

Does Baptism Wash Away Our Sins Response

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "Dr. Betters, I don't totally disagree with your answer to “Does Baptism wash away our sins?” but what about passages like Acts 2: 38. As well as others. or the Ethiopian eunuch who was baptized on the road by Stephen. I'm confused because it clearly says that they must be baptized. Thank you"
