HERESY IS ALIVE AND WELL IN THE DENOMINATIONS by steve finnell
Denominations are
not formed because there is disagreement over the color of the carpeting
in the church building. Denominations are established in order to teach
doctrine contrary to the apostles doctrine. (Acts 2:42 They were
continually devoting themselves to the apostles teaching....)
Do denominations
teach how to become saved according to the apostles doctrine? What are
their basic teachings about forgiveness from sin and being added to the
body of Christ?
Denomination teach various and sundry ways to be forgiven from sin.
The apostles did not teach multiple ways of salvation.
Can anyone name a
denomination that believes only adult believers who have believed for
the forgiveness of sins, who has been immersed in water for the
forgiveness of sins, repented for the forgiveness of sins, and have
confessed Jesus as the Christ for the forgiveness of sins, have been
saved from the penalty of sin?
What is not the apostles doctrine?
1. Saved by grace alone.
2. Saved by faith only.
3. Saved by water baptism only.
4. Saved as a non-believing infant who has been baptized.
5. Saved as a non-believing adult.
6. Saved by repentance alone.
7. Saved by confessing Jesus as Lord and Christ alone.
This is the apostles doctrine.
1. Faith--John 3:16
2. Confession--Romans 10:9-10
3. Repentance--Acts 2:38, Acts 3:19
4. Immersion in Water-- Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38. Acts 22:16,
