Can "people" in hell repent and get a transfer to heaven?
The Bible says that God does not want "anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9). Does this mean that souls and spirits who have been condemned to hell can change their minds and be admitted to heaven?

Homosexuality -- how should we respond?
For many Christians, homosexuality is not merely an academic issue. It increasingly hits home, as friends and family members "come out of the closet." How should a Christian parent, friend or relative respond?

Does the Holy Spirit "leak out" of us?
Is the Holy Spirit some kind of spiritual commodity that we have to refill ourselves with as we use it up?

The end is here -- again?!
Self-styled prophets and prognosticators continue to set dates for the rapture, the tribulation and the end of the world. What can you do about it? You can participate in PTM's upcoming webinar on end times prophecy -- by sending us your questions and comments!
