About this episode

The episode continues the discussion on means of grace, addressing various theological questions related to baptism and belief.

As the student questions series continues, I'm talking through ideas for conversation inspired from a text we use in Core Theology class at Concordia University-Irvine– Called to Believe by Steven Mueller. In this episode we continue with chapter 12, which discusses the means of grace. Some thought prompts for discussion: I've heard it said, "We baptize babies because they can't believe." What would be a helpful response to this? The phrase "born again" does not occur in the Bible. Is this a surprise? The Bible teaches "believer baptism". What does that mean? "You can't be saved unless you are baptized." What are we to do with this? What about the argument that it's not possible for Jesus to give us His body and blood to eat and drink?
