Bible Question (short): Mistaken View Or False Doctrine? |
Question (full): Dear Forum Members, I have been pondering something lately, please forgive me if I seem to be bringing up something old and please bear with me. I myself have posted several things about false doctrine in here, perhaps even about one or more of these beliefs below, but the good testimonies of some people are leaving me in doubt as to whether they are just mistaken about the process. Do you think that these constitue false doctrine and what scriptures would you give to support that? I know of a few things to support what I believe already, but I am thinking about those scriptures which might shed some light on what the apostles considered to be false doctrine? I have been pondering whether or not certain teachings about Jesus plus within the process of salvation are merely mistaken views about the process or whether they are to be considered false doctrines. I have friends and family members who believe in these Jesus plus concepts about the process of salvation and some of them have been Christians for a very long time and seem to be bearing good fruit. Here are some of the views, I am leaving out the other major 4 Jesus plus beliefs because there is so much about them that is obvious false doctrine that there is no doubt in my mind; Salvation comes by repenting of sins and believing in Jesus, plus it is not completed until baptism, living a sinless life until death and staying in scripture study to keep the Holy Spirit working inside. Salvation comes by repenting of sins and believing in Jesus, plus it is not completed until baptism. Salvation comes by repenting of sins and believing in Jesus, plus tarrying at the altar to get tongues as evidence of having received the Holy Spirit as the sign of salvation.
