Subject: Are we presenting the gospel scripturaly |
Bible Note: Mark 7:7 'BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.' Dear Brother Mark, I understand why you have leaped over what I said, and came to a conclusion that had nothing to do with my remarks. A cherished tradition has been challenged and your immediate impulse is to challenge it's detractors. That being said, please address the points themselves. Is inviting Christ into one's heart Biblically sound advice or not? If you say it is sound, please provide it's sciptural foundation. I posted this article because, like you, I desire to see those who love darkness, come to love the light. The question is: How do we know that what we are preaching is the same gospel which Paul preached? The answer lies within the pages of God's Holy Bible. Titus 1:9 holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict. John |
