I was raised a baptist. And one thing I have learned is that when we get outside of scripture. We are risking being followers of men and not followers of God.
When the reformation happened. Many of the pagan beliefs were disavowed. Sadly. Many of the other false doctrines came with them.
When we try to use history to prove those doctrines are right. Instead of using the word of God, we risk believing in a false theology.
Now if you want o risk that, thats fine. But to tell me because I chose to do what the word of God says, to study to shew myself approved, and to test all spirits.. Well forgive me, I was stuck in my denomination, until I actually started to study. I praise God I did this, or I would still be stuck in some issues which are not from God.
