Question on Worship

Should we use instrumental music in worship or not?

Answer

The New Testament reveals the early Christians worshiped by singing, not using instrumental music.

Question on Authority

Can we trust the Bible is inspired?

Answer

Scripture was given by holy men who spoke as they were moved by God’s Spirit, not man’s will.

Question on Government

Do Christians need to obey the government?

Answer

The Bible says governing authority is established (generically) by God. We should obey them, so long as their laws do not violate God’s law.

Question on Doctrine

Does it really matter what we believe, so long as we agree Jesus is Lord?

Answer

Truth matters. Jesus said that we would be judged by His word in the last day (John 12:47-48).

Question on the Kingdom

Will Jesus reign on the earth for 1,000 years?

Answer

The Bible says Jesus will not set foot on the earth again. He will come a second time for judgment (Hebrews 9:27-28).

Question about the Antichrist

Who is the Antichrist?

Answer

John identifies the antichrist as those who reject Jesus coming in the flesh. He also states “Many antichrists have come” (1 John 2:18, 22; 4:3).
