Full Question: My sister and I can't agree on this. Should we be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit or just in the name of Jesus? I stand on Matthew 28:19 and she stands on Acts 19:5 and Acts 2:38.

Full Question: Can a person get saved through seeing visions or having dreams of Jesus? or does salvation come by hearing the word of God, getting convicted of sin and then responding in faith? I’ve heard and read of stories especially from the Middle East of people (mostly Muslims) seeing visions of Christ and having dreams than waking up and converting to Christianity. Please clarify or explain ways of salvation (Biblically)

Full Question: My question concerns Romans 1:24-28, where Paul is talking about the unrighteous, and how “God gave them up,” first in the “lusts of their hearts,” then to “dishonorable passions,” and finally to a “debased mind.” 

What does it mean when God does this? Is it a progressive removal of divine restraints and consequences that push people closer and closer to “rock bottom?” Does it ever go to the point that God abandons the unrighteous and they can never be saved, or is there still hope for them through the Gospel? If there is still hope for them, why does Paul seem to put them in a special category of being “given up?” Wouldn’t they be in the same state as everyone else before conversion, i.e. biased to choosing sin over holiness until God changes their hearts?
