1. What are the minimum doctrines that a Christian must be taught in the church? How should the church go about teaching these doctrines, through catechisms, Bible Studies or both? A problem with only doing Bible Studies is that it becomes possible to teach only what is preferred by the church or the teacher. If one uses a catechism or creed, one is able to be sure to touch on areas that are not as often dealt with through a Bible Study (for instance, the ten commandments are not taught very often to people in the church, in fact many do not even know all ten).

2. Because God is good, is it the case that God will save all people no matter how sinful they are? Does the idea of 'universal salvation' make more sense in light of God's nature, or is it more reasonable to think that in order for people to be saved they must repent before God? Go here for a tentative formal argument of 'universal salvation'.

3. Is it appropriate for Christians to use secular media methods, but with a Christian message in order to reach people. Does this violate the sanctity of the Gospel? Is entertainment an appropriate method for edification (e.g. Christian videos, Christian music (rock, country, jazz, etc.)).

4. Should a person, who has been a homo-sexual, becomes a Christian and abstains from the practice of homosexuality, be allowed to participate within the church and/or become a member? Or must the person "convert" to a hetero-sexual before being allowed to be active in the church?
