Four ChoicesIt’s a great question, and the theological guideline is that we can pray to anyone who is God. So you’ve got three choices. You’ve kind of got four choices, not because there are four persons who are God but because you can pray to God without specifying a person of the Trinity, without having a Trinitarian thought in your head. And it’s not that the letter goes unanswered when it reaches heaven. There is no clear biblical examples of prayer to the Holy Spirit.

Theological convictions abound in matters of eschatology. But rather than focusing on secondary and often popular matters such as the rapture or the millennium, this episode of the Credo Alliance introduces listeners to the pinnacle of the Christian life: the blessed hope of the beatific vision. The doctrine of the beatific vision is often brushed away as an addendum to Roman Catholicism, but seeing God is the biblical hope that spans the Scriptures.

“Begotten, not made; of the same essence as the Father.”With these words, the Nicene Creed sets the standard of Christian orthodoxy for pastors and church members.

In this episode, Credo Fellows Scott Swain, Fred Sanders, J.V. Fesko, and Matthew Barrett discuss why they believe in eternal generation.
