Bible Note: I was not referring to anything specific, Brother Tim. Today there is a tendency to compromise truth for peace or unity. I can broadly describe some of these false teachings that are too frequently tolerated. Fundamentally they would include anything contrary to the following: 1. The Bible (66 books of the canon) alone is the ultimate authority, fully containing the will of God, and are fully sufficient to a man for salvific purposes. That all writings of men are inferior to the divine scriptures. That neither custom, multitudes, antiquity, succession of times or persons, theories, councils, decrees, or statutes are always of inferior value to the Word of God. (Psalm 119:18; 138:2; II Timothy 3:14-17) 2. That all of life is to be lived under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Every activity of the Christian is to be sanctified to the glory of God. (1 Corinthians 10:31; 1 Peter 4:11; Revelation 1:6; 7:12; 2 Peter 3:1; Ephesians 3:21; Romans 11:36) 3. That Jesus Christ is the sole mediator between God and man. Christ having stepped in and taken the punishment and judgment that was due sinners. With His own blood He expiated the sins that made these sinners enemies of God, fully satisfying Him. Christ alone is the source of divine favor and fatherly love. (1 Timothy 2:5-6; Colossians 1:13-18) 4. The regenerate's righteous standing before God is imputed by grace because of the work of Christ Jesus our Lord and not by any self-merit. Christ's sacrifice for them made a proper, real, and full satisfaction to God's justice on their behalf. That justification is only of free grace to and for God's great glory. (Ephesians 1:3-8) 5. That this salvific faith, resting wholly on Christ and His righteousness, is the sole instrument of justification. It is not alone in the regenerate, but is accompanied by good works done in love (though these deeds do not justify). (Galatians 3:6-11) I'd also include any doctrine contrary to the Nicene Creed. |
