Bible Note: Brian: I am fully in agreement with you that confessional churches that actually hold to and teach their confession are the most sturdy ones. God has indeed provided the church with teachers, and given standards for overseers of congregations to guard against falsehood. The only thing we need to be careful of is that there are indeed false teachers out there. That is why we all should have a thorough, working knowledge of the "textbook" ourselves so that we can spot those who claim to be speaking on behalf of God but who truly are teaching the doctrines of demons. In other words, it is not an "either-or" situation. We need to study the Scripture for ourselves AND listen to those who hold to Scripture alone as their authority. The Holy Spirit works through both of these means to bring us to the knowledge of the truth. Kind of a rudimentary "checks and balances" so that we collectively as God's people can guard against error from without and within. --Joe! |
