Bible Debates
In 2005, the Caneyville church of Christ supported brother Jarrod Jacobs in two debates he had in Grayson county, KY. The audio from both debates are below. In these debates, brother Jarrod Jacobs met Roger Holland, a missionary Baptist, in debate. The subjects were concerning whether or not baptism is necessary for salvation and the "once-saved-always-saved" doctrine (impossibility of apostasy). We include these debates below for your study and consideration. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
