Believing in them is one thing - of course no one will confess to believing in them, while ATST many are blindly

following them.  Any time the clear teaching of God's Word is rejected or reasoned away in favor of some

doctrine or other this is taking place.  In fact I experienced it just yesterday in a class where I saw a video

explaining why the denomination I attend baptizes babies.  It can't be justified by God's Word and they twist

a scripture or two to try and lay the foundation.  I don't understand why we can't just dedicate the babies

like Mary & Joseph.  Take them to the temple (?) and consecrate them to God since they can't understand

the meaning of baptism and noone can commit their lives for them.  judyt

We (here on TT) have gone a long way in proving that unity based on "true" doctrine is not the pathway to unity.   All of the issues listed below were discussions over what the Bible has to say about those particular concerns.   Not one person on this site believes in "doctrines of men."  All are trying to approximate the truth.  If we cannot allow for "unity" to found in the commonality of our search for truth, there will be no unity in Christ.

We lay aside doctrines of men and everything that does not conform us to godliness and

holiness and we receive with meekness the "engrafted word" which is able to save our souls.

Think about it;  if we do not unite and gather around the truth of His Word - we will never agree on

which spirit is the "holy one" because we will have no frame of reference.  judyt

 

How do we continue when there are so many differences? 

 

 

 

Eternal Sonship

Trinity

Word v Holy Spirit

Inspired interpretations

works v unmerited grace

the place of water baptism

tongues as an evidence of the infilling

Continuance of apostles and prophets

The place and function of the Church Fathers

What is "unity."

What the hell is an ad hom

Holiness and the indwelling

Holiness as a gifted consideration

The works of James v the works of Paul

What is proof texting

The  Word of God

Christ as the King of the Jews

The Incarnate Christ

Christ as God v a representative of God

The narrow road

The place of the apostles in the church

Honoring the claim of discipleship

The use of context

Hermeneutics

 

 

 

I would continue but I am watching "The Quiet Man"  and the greatest big screen fight of all time is about to be shown  (John Wayne and company).
