What are the essential beliefs every Christian must hold? In this episode of The FORGE Truth Podcast, Dr. Pete Alwinson, Bishop Jayson Quiñones, and producer Zach tackle one of the most foundational questions of faith: What is essential for salvation, and what is essential for living as a mature believer?

They explore topics like:
• The difference between being saved and being a growing Christian
• The role of Scripture as the ultimate authority
• The Trinity and the nature of God
• Salvation by grace through faith – and the dangers of both legalism and hyper-grace
• How to have fellowship with believers who differ on non-essentials

The guys break down key doctrines using Scripture, historical creeds, and practical wisdom. Whether you're new to faith or a seasoned believer, this conversation will challenge and equip you to grow in Christ.
