The very concept of doctrines is flawed, the diseased roots of many denominations. There is only truth and error, only the whole gospel truth, as laid down in the inspired, God-breathed scripture of our Bible, only truth versus error. The bottom line, anything whatsoever that conflicts with scripture is false, a lie, may as well be "scripture" from the devil. There is nothing in between, no Baskin Robbins 31 flavors of truth: that's a delusion. The cult false prophets who've added to the word of God aside, not understanding the whole gospel is neither an excuse for a denomination. There is only doctrine, not doctrines. And people get things wrong, not the Holy Spirit, the pressing question arising as to how one could possibly believe the Holy Spirit would be failing so many believers, believers of another gospel?
Galatians 1:6-9 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
As it is written;
"Grace has been shown onto you and therefore show Grace onto others."
Church/a gathering is important, as GOD through CHRIST and the HOLY SPIRIT, want us not to give up 'gathering together' in worship, by putting away our differences and disagreements aside, when they have been already 'highlighted'. In whatever 'denomination' we may come from, we must remain in through the 'Agape' New Covenant Spiritual knowledge, be 'faithful' and 'graceful' towards one another. For we have been shown that Grace by GOD the FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST and through the HOLY SPIRIT, before and even now.
My message to 'sir gotime' and others is not to be too 'drawn' to denominations and their practices and justification. The HOLY BIBLE Scripture and especially the New Covenant does that, in order to distinguish between the 'spirit of error' and the 'spirit of truth'. i am out of 'denominations' because GOD's Word keep 'bubbling' in me about the wrong things that are happening there. At one point, i couldn't hold this 'bubbling' in me, that i had to let them out. Reluctantly, i ask GOD to give a sign that these were from HIM, an opportunity, Scripture quotes about the matters HE wants to highlight and the Pastor must give a permission for others to speak.
It truly happened, and with 'trembling', i was only able to give the Scripture quotes and ask for them to read. After they read, they still didn't 'perceive' them, as the LORD of the Holy Scripture spoke. They ignored CHRIST's message and continued as usual and also ignored me. i felt alone and out of place and had to leave boldly while hiding my trembling inside. They have not reached out to me ever since, but i forgive them and miss them and love them to know CHRIST even better.
i myself did not go back because i do not want them to be 'uncomfortable' seeing me again. i am nothing like Prophet Jeremiah that day, but i have been given a 'duty' like him. That's when later GOD placed me in this forum to learn and build up HIS people, 'like' my children, for HE did not give me with my wife, any, as well HE did in Jeremiah's.
Please i am putting myself as a servant to you all in my 'testimony' and not otherwise. When i doubted this, GOD keeps on reminding me Jeremiah's life according to the written Scripture strongly and also slightly about the other Prophets, all they, even CHRIST, had to 'encounter' and 'bear', while dealing with the 'leaders' of Israel who constantly challenge, punish persecuted them.
We only are able to help and continue with those who believe in our 'testimony' of GOD's Covenant that we are 'violating' and dishonoring CHRIST's word/teaching and in 'lawlessness' and 'witnessing' in a 'stained' garment. And we are together, 'ever learning and never come into the knowledge of the truth.'
When GOD's correction comes upon HIS Church, it doesn't mean they are condemn, no, but HE love them as a Spiritual parent, and they 'do not' be 'discouraged' but 'encouraged', for they 'abide' in HIS Word. They are written in Hebrews chapter 12.
GOD bless you all in the name of LORD JESUS CHRIST.
