Special Event – Doctrine of Salvation: Dr. David Fleming, 06/07/26

In this class, Dr. David Fleming explores the foundational doctrine of salvation (soteriology); what it means to be saved, why we need it, and how we can be sure of it.

Topics covered:

The problem: Sin separates us from a holy God (Romans 3:23, 6:23)
The solution: Jesus Christ — His death, burial, and resurrection as the only basis for salvation
The right response: Repentance, faith, and confession
Results of salvation: Forgiveness, justification, righteousness, sealing by the Holy Spirit, and union with Christ

5 Common Questions Answered:

Can a person really know they’re saved? ✅ Yes, 1 John 5:13
Can a person lose their salvation? ❌ No, salvation is based on Christ’s finished work, not ours
Can a person walk away from their salvation? Explores Reformed vs. Arminian perspectives
What about the saved person who sins? Addresses false assurance vs. faith assurance, and the role of discipline
What about good works? Works follow salvation, they don’t earn or maintain it (Ephesians 2:8-10)
Key takeaway: Are you saved? If yes — rest in it, show it, and share it.Dr
