Living Faith Fellowship's Certainty Conference is October 5-8th, 2025 at First Baptist Church of New Philadelphia, Ohio.

The Certainty Conference will be a focused time of preaching, teaching, and theological discussion centered on the theme “God’s Redemptive Plan for Israel”.

Through main sessions and breakouts, this year’s conference will explore the biblical and prophetic significance of Israel within a dispensational framework—highlighting both the historical roots and doctrinal development of dispensational theology. Guest speakers will address topics such as the rise of dispensationalism, its role as a hermeneutic for rightly dividing Scripture, and the future fulfillment of God’s promises to Israel.

On October 5-8 to deepen your understanding of God’s word and strengthen your relationships with fellow believers.

On today’s show, we’re tackling a question that has defined centuries of Christian thought: Did the Church replace Israel? This idea, often called supersessionism or “replacement theology,” touches on God’s covenants, the role of Israel in His plan, and the Church’s identity today. 

It’s also one of the key themes of this year’s Certainty Conference, hosted by First Baptist Church of New Philadelphia, Ohio. The conference will bring together pastors, teachers and Bible students to consider why this question is not just theological but deeply cultural, especially in light of recent events in the world and ongoing debates about Israel. 

To help us navigate this conversation, we are joined by Pastor Troy Stogsdill of First Baptist Church.

In today’s episode with pastor Sam Miles, president of Living Faith Bible Institute, we discuss the definitions and errors of Supersessionism (otherwise called Replacement Theology or Fulfillment Theology) and Covenant Theology. We also look at how redefinition of Scriptural terms by these groups ignores literal dispensations of God’s dealings with humanity in Scripture and His promises to specific audiences. This man-made hermeneutic along with made-up covenants gives way to an allegorical approach to God’s Word where the nation of “Israel” is changed to “the Church.” This conflation of God’s promises to Israel with God’s promises to the church, unfortunately results in an anti-zionist attitude as exemplified in the writings and actions of the most famous Church Fathers all the way down through history to today.

Pastor Sam walks us through a few biblical passages which show us the prophets of old together with the Lord Jesus Christ plainly declaring that Israel has an eschatological purpose which literally will come to pass as surely as Christ rose from the dead.
