Thinking Deeper About the Word “Saved”

In this week’s episode of Words of Grace, Ben Winslett dives into the nuanced biblical usage of the word “saved,” challenging the common assumption that it always refers to regeneration. Exploring the term’s application in both eternal and temporal contexts, he clarifies that while salvation is solely by grace, Scripture sometimes links it with actions like baptism or sound doctrine, which pertain to assurance or deliverance rather than the initial act of being saved. By examining various passages, Ben reveals how the word “saved” can also signify deliverance from physical danger or doctrinal errors, urging believers to understand its broader biblical significance.

We Believe in Regeneration

In today’s episode of Words of Grace, we continue our series on the Articles of Faith with an examination of our beliefs regarding the subject of the new birth; also called regeneration, quickening, translation, a spiritual resurrection, and an act of creation as well. If you’re a long time listener, you know how much we enjoy speaking on this topic. Why? You and I are walking miracles! We were dead in sin, but now are raised to life in Christ. We are born again. We are acts of Divine Creation as new creatures in Christ. It’s an awesome and amazing subject that personally applies to each and every person who is born again.

We Believe in Original Sin and Total Depravity

Today on Words of Grace, we come to message four in our recent series on the standard Statement of Faith held by Primitive Baptist Churches.

Our focus today has to do with the concepts of original sin and total depravity. We’ll be considering articles 4 and 5 from Flint River’s statement of faith which reads:

4 – We believe in the doctrine of original sin.
5 – We believe in man’s impotency to recover himself from the fallen state he is in by nature by his own free will and ability.

Join us for this Biblical study of such an important theological concept!
