What is your basic thinking on the subject of tithing from inheritance? In conjunction with the thought of tithing on the inheritance of money, what are your thoughts regarding tithing upon things such as life insurance policies, retirement accounts, and the equity from the sale of a home? For more information, visit CBTSeminary.org
In this conversation, we re-run an episode on tithing in preparation for a new episode on tithing that will be released next week. For more information, visit CBTSeminary.org

Brethren, I know we’ve had one previous conversation on Shepherding the Afflicted through the preached word, but I’d like for us to narrow in our this specific situation of affliction.  What doctrines or passages should we preach to minister to widows and widowers? What passages does the congregation need to hear for them to effectively minister to widows and widowers in the congregation?  For more information, visit CBTSeminary.org
How may we shepherd ministerial aspirants under our ministry through the preached word? What aspects of Christ’s person and work do aspiring ministers need to hear? For more information, visit CBTSeminary.org
What doctrines or passages should we preach to minister to the souls of believers who wrest with assurance? What aspects of Christ’s person and work do doubting believers need to hear? For more information, visit CBTSeminary.org
Again, we’re not “singling out” anyone from the pulpit. Like Pastor Lee mentioned in a previous episode, we don’t want to use the pulpit as a “bully pulpit.” That shows more cowardice than bravery. But when true believers are among us who have backslidden, what passages or doctrinal themes should we preach to address backslidden believers? What aspect of Christ’s person and work do the backslidden need to hear about?
What truths do new Christians need to hear from the Word, and where might you go to proclaim them? What aspect of Christ’s person and work do new believers need to learn through the preached Word?
What advice would you have for someone who wants to be born again? I've been previously assured of my own salvation in a monergistic but ultimately fruitless form of Christianity. About five years ago I was forced to consider and was soon absolutely convinced by the Scriptures I was not at all saved. Since then, I've been striving to enter the narrow gate, through prayer, sometimes fasting, constant scripture study, local church attendance, contacting the broader Church, and reading old Puritan books about my situation. I've been asking God to save me, whatever it takes, give me the Holy Spirit, break me, just don't let me die in this state, however long it takes. I hope he would be pleased to work in me the changed heart and life he is looking for. So all that to say, what is the responsibility of someone who wants to be born again, assuming they're not?
Should a Credo-Baptist church require PaedoBaptists to be immersed as believers for church membership
When admitting new members, does your church require that all members be baptized by immersion? Would you make a special exception for someone who was baptized as a believer by aspersion (sprinkling) if there was not a baptist church in their region at the time of conversion?
There are several positions that a church may take on who should be permitted to partake in the Lord’s Supper. There is the “open” position, which allows for all believers in Christ to partake, the “close” position, which allows for members of a church of like faith and practice to partake, and there is the “closed” position, which allows only for members of that particular local church to partake. From your perspective, which position is most Scriptural and what does it look like in practice in your local church (ie, instructions beforehand, fencing of the table, etc.)?
Questions about Associations | Pastor's Inbox In this conversation, Pastors Joe Wilson and Lee McKinnon answer several questions submitted by one listener related to associations. For more information, visit CBTSeminary.org
Wives, submit to your own husbands | Pastor's Inbox In this conversation, the cohosts address the meaning of "everything" in the phrase: Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. For more information, visit CBTSeminary.org
