    In this podcast I look at Act 10 and Acts 15 and how the Apostle's had to figure out how to handle all these pagans getting filled with the Holy Spirit and getting baptized. What now? How do you instruct them? What does a born again pagan do now? Stop fornicating and drinking blood was part of the answer!

    The second level of Hell is for those given to the sin of incontinence...no, it's not that, its the old world idea of those who have a 'lack of self-restraint' or allow their reason to be subject to their lusts, desires and passions.
