1. In the Apostle's creed, it refers to Jesus as descending into hell. Is this a reference of him being separated from God? Or is it something else?

3. Does the biblical command for baptism require literal water, or is it spiritual?

4. Does leaving a common-law "marriage" qualify as a divorce?

5. Do people in the Old Testament go to hell? Like Ananias and Safari? Or do they go to Hades and have opportunity to believe in Christ the Messiah?
