Please post your answers to the following questions:
1. True faith is made up of content or knowledge (notitia), agreement (assensus), and trust (fiducia). Discuss the validity of these distinctions.
2. Give examples of how our society admires people who have trust without knowledge or content.
3. Give examples of how you have had knowledge and agreement without trust. How can you change this?
4. Give examples of how you have had knowledge and trust without agreement. In other words, how can a person trust in something that they are doubtful about?
5. Repentance essentially means “to change.” Confession means to “agree with.” Do you ever confess your sins without repenting? Explain.
6. The Lordship View of salvation teaches that salvation includes both faith and repentance, which are two sides of the same coin. In repentance, the believer is committing to give up all known sin, thereby making Christ Lord of his or her life. Do you agree with this position? Discuss your experience. Did you give up all your sins?
7. The Free Grace View of salvation teaches that salvation is by faith alone. Repentance and submitting to Christ’s Lordship is something that only a born again believer can do. Do you agree with this position? If so, discuss the problems discussed in the notes.
8. How was your thinking challenged the most by the lesson? Explain.
