Our Pastor, Dean Jones, presented a message on doctrines this morning, from following scriptures:
2 John verses 4-10 4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father. 5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. 6And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. 7For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
Other scriptures Bro. Dean used was Gal 1:6-7, Romans 16:17-18, @ Timothy 3:16
We can recognize the Doctrines of Truth if we have prayed and studied God's Word for the purpose of not being deceived by fables taught by men that purpose to exalt their own perception of doctrines.
