Question: it says even the "demons believe" did that mean they repented too when they believed. So how is faith and repentance the same if the demons believe and have faith?

We are going to edit the video and then make it live on YouTube. I am not sure if the links in the post here will keep working. We will get up the complete video as soon as we can.

Unknown,

If they didn't repent, then they didn't have saving faith. Demon faith isn't saving faith. Unrepentant faith isn't saving faith.

I watched some of the second part. Dr Ross presented the biblical case masterfully, and roundly refuted the Campbellite errors.

I especially appreciated his genuine appeal to Dr Jacoby to turn from trusting his own works, to believe in Christ alone for salvation:

Jacoby: Do you think I'm a Christian? Do you think I'm right with God?

Ross: If you think that baptism is part of how you become right with God, I urge you to reject that belief, and repent and believe the gospel, because I would love to see you in heaven.

Will the Once Saved, Always Saved debate be posted?

Yes, we will announce when it is available, as well as the edited video of the baptism debates (the breaks will be cut out between speeches, etc.)
