Denominational Differences: Anglicans, Catholics, Works, Faith and The Holy Spirit

Tom Wright dives into heaven, the rapture, and the nature of hell through the lens of Christian eschatology in this thought-provoking episode. They address the dangers of sensationalism in interpreting scripture and emphasize the importance of viewing these topics within the broader narrative of God’s new creation.

💡 Does God send sinners to eternal torment? Where is heaven exactly? Can baptized Christians who fall away from faith still face hell? How can we be certain of our salvation? These crucial questions are explored, alongside key insights into dispensationalism, misunderstandings about the rapture, and the relational reality of heaven.

✨ The conversation also unpacks:

The restrained New Testament view of hell as tragic loss, not eternal torment.

Comfort from biblical texts like Romans and Isaiah for those struggling with faith or anxiety.

The enduring connection between heaven and earth in biblical theology

👉 Whether you’re wrestling with questions about salvation, curious about the nature of hell, or seeking a deeper understanding of Christian eschatology, this episode offers clarity, hope, and encouragement.

Questions about Heaven, Hell and the Rapture?!

Tom Wright and Dr. Mike Bird dive into deep theological questions in this episode, tackling Inclusion Theology, Universalism, Predestination, and the question of Free Will.

Tom and Mike unpack these complex questions, shedding light on biblical perspectives that emphasize transformation, assurance, and the church’s role in reflecting God’s image in the world.

Key themes in today's episode:

Why determinism vs. free will is often a misleading debate.

How predestination is about God’s purpose, not exclusion.

The Holy Spirit’s role in salvation and human responsibility.

Why the New Testament presents salvation as both universal and personal.

The Biblical view of the soul vs. Platonic philosophy.
