On this edition of the White Horse Inn, the hosts interact once again with polls taken at a Christian convention, this time relating to the doctrine of justification.

Is it true that there are many paths to God or is Christianity the one true religion? If Christianity is exclusively true, does this mean that other religions are 100% false?
