Doctrine

"We Belive in the Apostolic Doctrine

 

Then they that gladly recevied his

word were baptized :and the same day there

 were added unto them about three thousand

souls.

And they countinued stedfastly in the

 apostles' doctrine and fellowship,and in

breaking of bread,and in prayers.(Acts 2:41-42)

 

Whosoever transgresseth,and abideth

not in the doctrine of Christ,hath not God.

He that hath abideth in the doctrine of Christ,he

hath both the Father and the Son.

If there come any unto you,and bring

not this doctrine,recive him not into your

house ,neither bid him God speed.(2 John 1:9-11)

 

Moreover,brethren,I declare unto

you the gospel which I preach unto 

you , which also ye have recevied, and 

wherein ye stand;

By which ye also are saved, If ye keep in

memory what I preach unto you,unless ye

have belived in vain.

For I deliver unto you firt all that

which I also recevied,How that Christ died

for our sins according to the scriptures;

And that he was buried , and that he rose 

agian the third day according to the scriptures:(1 Corinthians 15:1-4)

 

Ther fore leaving the princeiples of the

doctrine of Christ ,let us go on unto per-

fection;not laying agian the foundation of

repentance from dead works,and of faith 

toward God,

Of the doctrine of baptisims,and lay-

ing on of hands, and of resurrection of the

dead, and of eternal judgment.

And this we will do,if God permit.(Hebrews 6:1-3)

 

Know ye not, that to whom ye yeild

yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye 

are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto

death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

But God be thanked, that ye were the

servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the

heart that form of doctrine which was deliv-

erd you.

Being them that made free from sin, ye be-

cause the servants of rightueosness.(Romans 6:16-18)

 

Now I beseeh you, brethern,  mark

them which cause divisions and offences con-

trary to the doctrine which ye have learned;

and avoid them.(Romans 16:17)

 

Paul, and apostle of Jesus Christ by the

commandment of God our Saviour,and

Lord Jesus Christ,which is our hope;

Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith:

Grace, mercy, andm peace, from God our Fa-

ther and Jesus Christ our Lord .

As I besought thee to abide still at Esp-

esus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou

mightest charge some that they theach no 

other doctrine.

Neither give heed to fables and endless 

genealogies, which minister questions,rather

than godly edifying which is in faith : so do.

Now the end of the commanment is

charity out a purt heart, and of a good con-

science, and of faith unfeigned:

From which some having swerved have

turned aside unto vain jangling;

Desiringto be teachers of the law;un-

derstanding neither what they say, nor

whereof they affirm.

(1 Timothy 1:1-7)

 

 

For whoremongers, for them that de-

file themselves with mankind,for mensteal-

ers, for liars, for prejured persons, and if 

there be any other thing that is contrary to

sound doctrine;

According to the glorius gospel of the 

blessed God, which was commited to my

trust.(1 Timothy 1:10-11)

 

...Sin

Sin is the transgrestion of the law,or commandments of God (I John 3:4).The guilt of sin has fallen upon

all humanity from Adam until now (Romans 3:23). The wages of sin is eternal death (Romans 6:23;

Revalation 20:14) to all those who refuse to accept salvation as set forth in the word of God.

 

...Salvation

Salvation consist of deliverance from all sin and unrighteousness through the blood of Jesus Christ. The

New Tetament experience of salvation consist of repentance from sin, water baptisim in the name of the 

Lord Jesus Christ for thr remission of sins, and the baptisim of the Holy Ghost, after which the Christan

is to live a godly life (Acts 2:36-41).

 

...Water Baptisim

Water baptisim is an essential part of New Tesament salvation and not merely a symbolic ritual. It is part

of entering into the kingdom of God (God's church, the bride of Christ),and therefore, it is not merely a

part of local church membership. (See John 3:5; Galatians 3:27).

 

...Mode of Baptisim

Water baptisim is to be administered only immersion. Paul said,"We are buried with him [Jesus

Christ] by baptisim (Romans 6:4;see Collossians 2:12) Jesus came up "out of the water" (Mark 1:10), and

Philip and the eunuch went down "into the water"and came up "out of the water" (Acts 8:38-39).

Jesus' death, burial, and ressurection are applied to our lives when we experience New Testament

salvation:"Repent [death to sin], and be baptized [burial] every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ

for the remission of sins, and ye shall recive the gift of the Holy Ghost [resurection." (See Acts 2:38;

Romans 6:1-7;8:2).

Sprinkling, pouring, or infant baptisim of any kind cannot be substantiaed by the Word of God, but are 

only human tradition.
