00:00:00.000 Welcome to Real Christianity. Today we are talking about biblical salvation and the authority of
00:00:05.180 scripture. So welcome guys. Some of you guys might be hoping that this episode is going to be on the
00:00:10.020 difference of salvation theories held by Calvinists and Arminians, but that's not the case for today's
00:00:15.460 episode. We will touch on those topics later on in this series, but for today we're going to just
00:00:21.300 be discussing just the basics of biblical salvation. And for the next four episodes I'm
00:00:26.680 going to be interviewing dale about his new book real christianity how to be bold for christ in a
00:00:31.820 culture of darkness um we're going to be going over about um about over each chapter two per
00:00:37.460 episode for about 20 to 30 minutes minutes per episode yeah um so dale i know you've poured your
00:00:43.720 heart and soul into this book you spent a lot of hours typing you spent a lot of hours praying
00:00:48.980 um personally as my opinion i think that this is your greatest work out of all the books that
00:00:55.560 you've written so far this is book number four number four yeah um and it's definitely i mean
00:01:00.740 the titles were christianity it's definitely your most christian book yeah um but i'm excited to hear
00:01:05.880 the uh thoughts and opinions once this book gets into other people's hands yeah me too i i'm i'm
00:01:11.520 really excited about it guys if you're watching this on video you get a chance to even see the
00:01:15.980 book i'm hoping that it's not blown out because we have lights all over it but um you can see
00:01:20.440 it's a very small book. It's a short read. Richie liked to write short reads. I do like to write
00:01:25.280 short books. I'm a fan of short books. And so I'd say, you know, a couple of things, this book's
00:01:30.240 really aimed at the unspoken space, um, on, you know, I think a lot of Christians aren't talking
00:01:37.480 about, and they've, a lot of people have found themselves in this kind of lukewarm place of this
00:01:42.420 barrenness of lethargic Christianity. Uh, I would even say Bible-less Christianity where they're
00:01:49.280 kind of walking through their faith journey based off of sermons, not based off of scripture.
00:01:56.200 The thing that happens a lot is that they just base everything they know about God based
00:02:00.520 off of what they heard, not based off of what they've actually read.
00:02:04.480 And, you know, so basically the book was designed to confront that space between cultural and
00:02:12.060 real Christianity and let people look at the scriptures according to the Bible and examine
00:02:20.560 their lives against it. Like, wow, am I actually a Christian according to scripture? Or have I
00:02:27.420 adopted some version of Christianity that actually has nothing to do with the Bible and it's been
00:02:32.820 twisted and renovated and innovated and molded and manipulated into something else? And I think
00:02:39.280 that's the main point of the book. As I said, you know, again, I'm going to hold it up for you guys
00:02:44.500 if you're watching the video. It's very short. It's about a little over 15,000 words. That's
00:02:49.800 about the length of a long magazine article, you know, at like The Atlantic. It'd take you about
00:02:55.400 an hour and 20, hour and 30 minutes to read it. And it's a hardcover, so it's a hard case,
00:03:02.000 which I kind of like. It's not jacketed hardcover. It's just a hard case. It's got this really cool,
00:03:07.680 it's hard to see maybe but kind of metallic uh spot uv ink texture on the front of it and um
00:03:15.000 the inside is just uh it's pretty simple in terms of the layout i have you know it's nice white
00:03:21.720 pages again pretty i mean if you guys have any of your other dale's other books it's similar style
00:03:27.500 similar layout yeah and it's got questions at the end of each chapter that i think make it engaging
00:03:32.400 I also created an accompanying study guide that you can pick up with it.
00:03:37.820 It's 60 pages.
00:03:38.960 It goes through every chapter.
00:03:40.680 I think we get way deeper in the study guide on looking at more scriptures.

00:04:21.820 Awesome.
00:04:22.800 Okay, so after the introduction in your book,
00:04:25.040 you open with a chapter titled,
00:04:27.000 Belief in Christ Doesn't Make You Christian.
00:04:29.940 Now, you cover a few different topics in that chapter, but I want to take out just one.
00:04:34.780 You teach people that Christianity is more than merely believing in Jesus.
00:04:39.640 Isn't that idea contrary to saved by faith alone? 0.91
00:04:43.780 Yeah, I think that's a good question to ask.
00:04:46.560 And, you know, the whole conversation of salvation is important.
00:04:50.380 And so, you know, first we have to realize that faith is different than belief.
00:04:54.760 and you know we sometimes want to lump those into the same conversation jesus's brother uh the
00:05:01.740 apostle james uh i think it's james 219 is even the demons believe and tremble well if the demons
00:05:07.960 believe why aren't they saved if if belief and faith are the exact same thing so obviously that
00:05:13.120 that's a pretty good illustration but demons don't have a saving faith in christ but they do believe
00:05:18.380 in Christ um I'd say there's a good analogy or or um parallel to this is that the Jehovah's
00:05:24.440 Witness you know believe in Christ too they don't have necessarily a biblical and saving faith in 0.96
00:05:29.440 Christ there's a different Jesus the enemy is really good at creating counterfeit Jesuses to
00:05:34.460 to put your faith in and so uh belief alone isn't what makes you Christian um it's you know faith
00:05:42.820 in Christ, according to scripture, that does make you a Christian. So, you know, we want to look at
00:05:48.500 what does the scripture say in regards to salvation. So, I pulled out one of the easiest verses on the
00:05:53.820 topic. It's Romans 10.9. It's in the book, and again, this is just one topic in this chapter,
00:06:00.860 but it says, Romans 10.9, that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart
00:06:07.680 that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
00:06:11.280 And so this is a pretty important verse to Christian theology.
00:06:16.720 I'd say it's one of the main verses used for evangelism
00:06:20.760 and understanding what that means.
00:06:21.880 So let's just break it down a little bit.
00:06:23.940 And I talk again about this in the book,
00:06:25.640 but I think I'm going to break it down a little more clarity here.
00:06:31.480 You know, confess.
00:06:32.760 It doesn't just mean that you're just yelling out in a crowd,
00:06:35.840 the Lord Jesus, or Jesus is Lord.
00:06:39.820 That's not necessarily what it's saying.
00:06:42.180 The Greek word for confess is homo legeo.
00:06:45.360 And a couple things is that it means to agree.
00:06:49.560 It means that you're in agreement.
00:06:51.700 That's what the Greek word means.
00:06:53.420 So having that perspective there,
00:06:55.380 you don't confess something that you're not in agreement with.
00:06:59.320 And so that's an important step.
00:07:00.600 So step one in the salvation journey for anybody
00:07:04.160 is confessing that you're in agreement with what God holds to be true.
00:07:09.140 And you're in agreement that you need a Savior.
00:07:12.420 You're in agreement that God sent a Savior.
00:07:15.700 You're in agreement that Jesus is the only Savior.
00:07:20.140 That's what confessing that Jesus is Lord is really about.
00:07:24.080 And that Jesus is the only way to be reconciled with God.
00:07:27.440 I am the way, the truth, and the life, and nobody comes to the Father except through me.
00:07:30.400 when Jesus says that, that confession of that agreement with that idea is important.
00:07:37.940 That's the beginning part of this salvation theology here.
00:07:42.620 And this is where the demons fail, right?
00:07:45.320 Because they're not in agreement with what God holds to be true.
00:07:49.000 And I'd also say that this is not a private confession, but this is a public confession.
00:07:54.940 and it's interesting you know um you know that philippians talks about this idea you know whether
00:08:03.560 you confess it privately or publicly or you don't confess it you deny it at some point in history
00:08:08.880 you will confess this and philippians 2 1 or 10 through 11 says that at the name of jesus every
00:08:15.540 knee shall should bow of those in heaven and on those on earth and those under the earth
00:08:20.480 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord
00:08:25.180 to the glory of God the Father.
00:08:27.980 So whether you're going to confess it now or confess it later
00:08:32.220 at some point in history, you will confess it.
00:08:36.180 It's going to happen.
00:08:36.920 It's going to happen.
00:08:37.900 And you're going to confess it in this manner,
00:08:39.880 that you recognize that he is Lord and that he is the way.
00:08:43.800 And so it's not talking about just saying it out loud.
00:08:45.900 It's a true confession, a recognition of who he is.
00:08:49.940 And so lastly, again, you're not just confessing anything.
00:08:54.100 You're confessing that Jesus is Lord, and that's important.
00:08:59.300 He's your master.
00:09:00.180 You don't make any decisions outside of his counsel, his input, his boundaries.
00:09:09.760 You're submitted to him.
00:09:10.560 You're owned by him.
00:09:11.240 You're ruled by him. 0.72
00:09:12.000 First Corinthians 6, 19 through 20, I think is what it is, talks about this idea that, you know, you are not your own.
00:09:22.180 You're bought with a price.
00:09:23.420 You're bought with a price. Therefore, glorify God with your body and your spirit, which are God's.
00:09:29.020 And so, you know, you're bought at a price and you're not your own.
00:09:32.260 So this recognition of lordship is it's confession.
00:09:35.560 I'm in agreement with it's a recognition of who who Jesus is, that he's Lord.
00:09:40.080 So step two really is this after confession and believing,
00:09:46.920 but not just believing in Jesus as Lord,
00:09:50.180 but also believing in your heart that God raised him from the dead.
00:09:54.740 It's fascinating that we just kind of brush over the fact
00:09:57.480 that God included the resurrection in this confession.
00:10:01.700 And so one thing I want to point out is the heart.
00:10:05.560 Confess with your, you know, believe with all your heart, right?
00:10:08.820 in your heart that god raised from the dead this is a type of belief that's sincere it's not false
00:10:14.360 it's not fake um it's not just words it's not just words it is it's from the heart yes exactly
00:10:20.720 and so it's sincerity and we have to recognize again how important the resurrection is to the
00:10:27.100 gospel and if you read first corinthians chapter 15 you can see that paul even says man if the
00:10:32.120 if jesus didn't resurrect like none of this matters and he gives a really good case of why
00:10:37.480 none of that matters that's also why the resurrection is under attack all the time
00:10:41.000 and so the resurrection is God's validation of Jesus's atoning work on the cross he when Jesus
00:10:49.380 is resurrected it's God saying that I accept your sacrifice Jesus that's really what's being said
00:10:58.480 there that the atoning work of Jesus is sufficient and the the approval of that is the resurrection
00:11:05.800 of Jesus. And that's because it was just, you know, he died an unjust death because he was
00:11:14.140 actually perfect. And so there's lots to talk about there. This is why he's the propitiation
00:11:19.640 of our sins. That's a biblical word. That word means to appease the wrath of God through blood
00:11:25.300 sacrifice. That's what that word propitiation means. So you got a couple steps here that are
00:11:30.000 important um you're in agreement with him number one number two you're publicly identifying with
00:11:36.520 him number three you're making him lord and number four uh you're believing in your heart that god
00:11:42.300 validated you know his atoning work on the cross through the resurrection so that's that's a good
00:11:48.540 simple breakdown i think of what real salvation looks like um in terms of coming to to christ
00:11:58.400 Now, this doesn't talk about sanctification.
00:11:59.960 This doesn't talk even about being born again necessarily or regeneration or transformation or any of this stuff that comes after this process.
00:12:08.220 But we go through that in the book.
00:12:10.460 But I just want to hit that at least to start.
00:12:13.660 Okay, so let's talk about one topic from chapter two, which is titled, If Some Are False, Then None Are True.
00:12:20.460 Basically, you build a case that argues that either all the scripture is true or none of it is.
00:12:24.860 can you explain why Christians need to settle in their hearts that the Bible is completely true
00:12:30.160 and completely authoritative over their lives yeah so it's a good question you know I'll ask
00:12:36.160 you how did you come to be saved the gospel was presented to me and where did that person that
00:12:44.200 pastor get the gospel from the word of God from the Bible right so this is this is what makes this
00:12:49.220 question so important um you see if the bible isn't completely true then why should the gospel
00:12:56.700 be true like who says that just that piece of the scriptures are true and the rest of it isn't like
00:13:03.460 who gets to become the arbiter of what's true and what's not um and that's a problem to kind of
00:13:08.340 cherry pick the verses in scripture uh that we like while abandoning the ideas that we don't like
00:13:15.940 is absurd. And I think that happens a lot today in the church. And this is why people take the
00:13:21.340 gospel, which they actually hear mostly from the letters of Paul. We think that we take the gospel
00:13:25.580 mostly from the gospels. But if you actually listen to evangelists and people presenting
00:13:30.380 the gospel, they're using language that comes from Paul most of the time. And so the thing is,
00:13:40.220 is that Paul wrote a lot of stuff, and he wrote lots of clarification on the gospel and truths
00:13:48.040 about the gospel. He also wrote a lot of truths about Christian life and Christian morality and
00:13:51.640 Christian sanctification. And so it was Paul who wrote Ephesians 2, 8 through 9, which I know,
00:13:57.900 babe, you have memorized, is, for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of
00:14:02.280 yourselves, it is a gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. Every true Christian
00:14:08.300 on the planet is going to agree that that verse is a universal truth in the church. I don't think 1.00
00:14:16.260 that anybody's going to disagree with that idea. People love that verse, but if you just flip
00:14:20.580 one page over and you land in chapter five of that same letter, it says this verse that
00:14:28.780 not a lot of people, or I should say a lot of people reject. Wives, submit to your own husbands
00:14:34.340 as to the Lord for the husband is the head of the wife as also Christ is the head of the church and 0.97
00:14:38.740 he is the savior of the body therefore just as the church is subject to Christ so let the wives be to
00:14:42.620 their own husbands and everything and so you know it's interesting how we'll take that
00:14:48.720 Ephesians 2 passage totally universal authoritative and then we just jump over and we go oh that's
00:14:56.180 actually not for me I'm actually not going to buy into that we do that in 1st Corinthians too you
00:15:01.740 You know, we love the love chapter of 1 Corinthians 13.
00:15:05.820 1 Corinthians 14 talks about some really controversial stuff. 1.00
00:15:08.940 Again, women in the church. 1.00
00:15:10.600 1 Corinthians 6 talks about sexual immorality. 1.00
00:15:13.800 And 1 Corinthians 5 and church discipline.
00:15:15.880 And so there's lots of things that we just like to cherry pick what we like and leave the rest.
00:15:21.220 And that's a problem.
00:15:23.140 You know, is this passage on marriage all of a sudden, you know, just to the local audience now?
00:15:29.780 Is it not a universal truth?
00:15:30.780 It's just a local thing.
00:15:31.700 That's a lot of people say, oh, it's just talking to the Corinthians.
00:15:33.720 Oh, it's just talking to the Ephesians.
00:15:35.380 You know, it's like, well, why was the verse a couple verses back talking to everybody?
00:15:39.320 There was no change in the text that said that it was talking to the local people.
00:15:43.680 You know, or maybe this passage is now metaphorical, right?
00:15:46.420 This is metaphorical.
00:15:47.220 Now, I know, you know, that's kind of what it meant.
00:15:49.120 But there's lots of room for interpretation.
00:15:51.340 It becomes ambiguous of what it actually means is no longer authoritative.
00:15:54.660 um but again you know we don't want to embrace the scriptures that we like and then reject the
00:15:59.940 scriptures that we dislike that's a problem we have to remember that we're saved by the word
00:16:05.340 faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of god uh he's you know we sanctify we're sanctified
00:16:12.020 by the word um you know god teaches us by the word he encourages us by the word uh he comforts
00:16:17.980 us by the word the word of god is so foundational in our relationship with with god that any doubt
00:16:25.940 in it will actually make your entire christian experience crumble um and this is why i say and
00:16:31.800 i argue in the book that either all of it's true or none of it's true because if if only some of
00:16:36.620 it's true who gets to become the arbiter of what's true and what's not a person another man another
00:16:44.460 woman just your emotions your experience some guy that went to harvard for divinity school
00:16:50.080 you know what like who is it oh i understand the hebrew and the greek so it's like you know what
00:16:55.580 hey you're you're you're then placing your faith in that person determining what is right and what
00:17:01.360 is wrong so you you really have a theory that becomes self-destructing um and you you end up
00:17:07.620 putting your faith from god into man if if if not all of it's true now we do need to look at it all
00:17:12.860 through context we do need to look at it all properly interpreting interpreting it I would
00:17:19.560 say according to tradition tradition is really powerful I always tell people when I have a
00:17:26.040 commentary of you know on a certain passage of scripture and I read a commentary from the 1500s
00:17:32.900 the 1600s the 1700s the 1800s and the 1900s and every single one of these men interpreted this
00:17:40.320 verse generally the same and they've never met each other they're on different continents
00:17:46.780 um i just go wow that's the holy spirit unifying the church bringing unity through all these people
00:17:53.560 who have come to the same conclusion on this very you know important text and so when that happens
00:17:59.240 then all of a sudden in 2019 or 2020 or whatever um we change the interpretation of the text
00:18:06.180 i go oh wait wait a second because there's like hundreds thousands of theologians that have never
00:18:14.080 come to that conclusion what's going on and so um again i want to talk about just the reliability of
00:18:20.940 the scriptures and that's what i spend this chapter on is is you know we did this in our
00:18:27.080 marriage right when we first moved up to oregon what was the what was the first step for us
00:18:31.740 uh in terms of is the bible true yeah i think i would say just you know we said that we're
00:18:39.800 christians we kind of were i would i don't know just very very baby christians yeah um and i think
00:18:46.420 we just had to recognize or say out loud or kind of own the fact that like do we believe what the
00:18:54.860 bible says or not is it authoritative in our lives or not um and we both agreed yes it was probably a
00:19:02.100 hard yes for us to say at the time because our flesh didn't like it but we did believe that
00:19:06.100 and we and you know the next step was okay well then we need to live according to what the word
00:19:11.500 of god says yeah you can really use it as an instruction manual like you can you can totally
00:19:17.160 do that um again this is why theology matters and understanding the word matters so you can
00:19:22.460 interpret it correctly. But the reason we believe the Bible is true is because the Old Testament
00:19:26.320 and the New Testament declared that it's true. Jesus declared that it was true.
00:19:31.660 You know what? He referenced, out of all the things he referenced, he referenced
00:19:34.500 most of the Old Testament books, but he referenced Genesis the most. He references
00:19:38.680 the hard stuff like Noah and the ark, Jonah and the fish,
00:19:42.620 creation story, Adam and Eve. Like, are you going to believe in Jesus and not
00:19:46.520 believe in the authority of Scripture? Jesus believed in the authority of Scripture. It's crazy.
00:19:50.320 So the Old Testament and the New Testament
00:19:51.660 both claim that it is impossible for God to lie.
00:19:54.680 It's impossible.
00:19:55.520 The scriptures can't be broken,
00:19:56.500 it says in another verse.
00:19:58.180 All these, you know,
00:19:58.900 heaven and earth will fade away,
00:20:00.200 but my words will never fade away, Jesus says.
00:20:02.240 2 Timothy 3, 15 through 17 says,
00:20:05.160 Paul writes to Timothy,
00:20:06.520 and that from childhood you have known
00:20:08.660 that the holy scriptures,
00:20:09.700 which are able to make you wise for salvation
00:20:11.700 through faith, which is in Jesus Christ,
00:20:14.060 all scripture, all of it,
00:20:15.960 is given by inspiration of God
00:20:17.260 and is profitable for doctrine,
00:20:18.480 for reproof, for correction,
00:20:19.420 for instruction and righteousness that the man of God may be complete, that man, that word man
00:20:23.680 is man and woman, are thoroughly equipped for every good work. So again, I talked about this
00:20:31.080 in the chapter, breaking this down with an argument that you guys need to really get down to.
00:20:35.940 Is the word of God authoritative? When I read something, do I actually do it? And that's an
00:20:41.440 important process uh to go through and so i also argue in the book um you know uh people think that
00:20:49.540 oh look the word of god's been changed over the years like this is what the mormon religion the
00:20:54.120 islamic religion and the uh jehovah's witness religion thinks that there's a corrupted bible
00:20:59.160 and that it's changed and that we needed to write a new bible right uh that's not true either um
00:21:06.640 And if you go, I actually, I'm going to leave a link in the show notes for this episode because I watched a fantastic video that was actually, I had to, it was required viewing for one of my seminary classes on hermeneutics.
00:21:21.640 It's titled New Testament Reliability by Daniel, or Dr. Daniel Wallace.
00:21:27.520 So if you want to look that up on YouTube, New Testament Reliability by Dr. Daniel Wallace.
00:21:32.920 It offers a fantastic mountain of evidence on the reliability of the text.
00:21:37.240 And so you guys can look at that.
00:21:38.880 I'm going to put the show notes.
00:21:39.780 If you go to relearnchurch.org forward slash listen on this episode, it'll be there.
00:21:44.160 So hopefully, again, you know, we're just diving just quick little snippets on the book.
00:21:49.260 Again, the book title is Real Christianity, How to Be Bold for Christ in a Culture of Darkness.
00:21:55.240 And it's just a basic book.
00:21:56.780 It's not super complex.
00:21:58.660 And our hope is that you could pick up a copy and support our ministry.
00:22:02.920 you just go to relearnchurch.org forward slash rc a couple things we want to mention the last
00:22:10.840 thing i know i just talked about my book but we're also working with a couple publishers for
00:22:16.080 what we're calling real christianity resources and these are higher thinking resources yeah so

00:22:46.000 it just helps you get more mature and biblically thinking about christianity this is veronica's
00:22:52.880 favorite book right here love it she's she's kidding here you guys can't see this this thing's
00:22:57.840 a brick it's probably the size of my fist yeah which isn't saying much i mean i have small hands
