What’s the true meaning of predestination?

January 6, 2024

Do unbelievers suffer forever in Hell? Or might there be an end to their suffering? Do we receive the Holy Spirit through water baptism? Does Acts 2:38 mean that water baptism is the key to salvation? In Acts 21, God warns Paul about going up to Jerusalem. Does that mean Paul was disobedient in going? What is the true and biblical view of predestination?

Why does Acts say “you will be saved, you and your household” if each individual needs to believe? What “commandments” does God refer to in Revelation 14? Why would Jesus call the church “dead” in Revelation if we are alive in Christ? If people in Jesus’ day called Satan “the prince of demons”, then who is the “king of demons”?

Is it okay to study philosophy? Do we each receive different amounts of rewards in Heaven? What Scriptures can I use to fight the enemy and have God intercede to get my husband back?

How exactly does God’s Spirit testify to us that we’re His children?
