About this Episode

Why do churches split over theology? What does the Bible really say about covenants and dispensations? Why do some Christians skip sacraments altogether? And can you lose your salvation?
In this episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird tackle church divisions, explain the differences between covenant theology and dispensationalism, and explore the Salvation Army’s unusual stance on sacraments. They dig deep into Hebrews 6, wrestling with what it really says about salvation security.
As Tom reminds us, “the heart of doctrine is the inspiration of scripture,” and this conversation shows why careful, contextual biblical interpretation still matters for unity and faith today.
