Speaking in Tongues: A Response to Remnant Radio (Part 1 of 3)

Image
The following is a transcript of a response I gave to Remnant Radio on the WWUTT podcast, Episode 2375, after they twisted my comments about speaking in tongues. I also included in this episode a brief history of the modern charismatic movement. Listen to the audio below or read the transcript beneath. Back in the fall of 2023, the documentary Cessationist debuted at the last G3 national conference, a documentary I was pleased to take part in, thanks to the invitation of creator David Lovi. I did not have an opportunity to respond to any interview requests because we were at that time moving from Texas to our home now here in Arizona. However, charismatic pastor Sam Storms and the guys at Remnant Radio, a charismatic podcast, did a series of critical responses to the Cessationist documentary, and I did a three-part rebuttal to select portions of their combined 24-part series (Remnant Radio did 9 episodes and Storms did 15 articles). You can listen to my three rebuttals in episodes 20...

Ordered Loves: When JD Vance Brought up the Ordo Amoris

A lawyer asked Jesus a question to test Him: “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” Jesus said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. A second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets” ( Matthew 22:34-40 ). An interesting debate was stirred a couple weeks ago when Vice President JD Vance said in an interview that the political Left prioritized illegal immigrants over their fellow American citizens.

A lot of the far left has completely inverted that. They seem to hate th...

What's Wrong With Phil Vischer's Video "Holy Post—Race in America"?

In his sermon at the Areopagus, the Apostle Paul said that God "made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place" (Acts 17:26). Every single human being on earth is descended from one man, Adam. There is only one race—the human race. What we call racism, prejudice against another on the basis of their skin tone, is absurd (as all sin is) since fundamentally there's no such thing as races. There's also no such thing as "red and yellow, black and white," as the Sunday school song goes. Essentially, we're all the same color—just varying shades of brown, depending on how much melanin you have. To pass judgment on another for the tones of our skin is to pass judgment on yourself. What divides people—from each other and most especially from God—is sin. We are all sinners. The problem of sin will persist until God comes to judge the world in righ...
