Episode 47: Reconsidering Salvation, Loyalty, and Our Response to the Gospel w/ Matthew Bates

What does it mean to have faith in Jesus? If the gospel is more centered on Jesus’ kingship (as we’ve explored on our previous two episodes) perhaps Christian faith looks more like allegiance. Matthew Bates, Associate Professor of Theology at Quincy University, joins us to discuss the relationship between the gospel, salvation, faith, obedience, and grace.

Matthew’s Books:
The Gospel Precisely
Gospel Allegiance
Salvation by Allegiance Alone
