I'd love to see this app out for the iphone and for mac apps so we can use it on our computers. This seems like a great teaching tool I'd love to use.

In Q1, we believe that we "belong to God and to our Savior Jesus Christ", but it doesn't say that we belong to the Holy Spirit.

Does anyone know why the Holy Spirit is excluded?

Thanks! Also, is there a better place to post these kinds of questions?

Nancy, no offense is meant by this, but if you think one of the biggest errors of our day is propelled by Charismatic/Pentecostal beliefs and theology, I'm not sure you're paying attention. Not that I have the definite handle on the question of what the biggest errors of our day are either, BUT I would be predisposed to think they are the following:

1. God is not Sovereign (an emerging open theism which is subversively spreading throughout evangelicalism, chipping away at God's right to do just about anything. Case in point, the upcoming book from Greg Boyd called "The Crucifixion of the Warrior God")
2. Jesus did not receive in his body the due penalty for our sins (a denial of penal substitutionary atonement)
3. Denial of the classic doctrine of Hell

The question of how charismatic theology is understood and applied in the church today is a great and worthy topic of discussion and debate, but I'm just not sure it qualifies as one of the biggest errors of our day.

Just my opinion. Take it for what it is.

[...] Tim Keller has explained the purpose of catechisms this way: Catechisms were written with at least three purposes. The first was to set forth a comprehensive exposition of the gospel—not only in order to explain clearly what the gospel is, but also to lay out the building blocks on which the gospel is based, such as the biblical doctrine of God, of human nature, of sin, and so forth. The second purpose was to do this exposition in such a way that the heresies, errors, and false beliefs of the time and culture were addressed and counteracted. The third and more pastoral purpose was to form a distinct people, a counter-culture that reflected the likeness of Christ not only in individual character but also in the church’s communal life.
