Hello,
Today is another wonderful day and the beginning of the mass Indoctrination service.
So, I want to share with you the word of God that I learnt from The mass Indoctrination day 1 session.
Thanks be to God.
According to Mathew 28: 19-20,
Christ instructed the disciples to go into the earth and make disciples by baptising them and teaching them all the doctrines of the gospel.
The first doctrine of the church is baptism. Followed by teaching of all the doctrines of Christ.
In our time, we have to first examine the doctrine of Christ then after, we baptise.
We have to examine the doctrines of Christ to see if it's the true doctrine of Christ before we accept and be baptized.
Any teachings that is not in the Bible, should not be accepted.
Now, what is the proof that the first doctrine is baptism.
According to the Bible, The apostle Paul was a member of the Jewish religion and so he persecuted the members of the church of God. But later he was called by Christ and the first commandment that he was asked to obey is to be baptized. After baptism, he joined the church and began to teach the doctrine of Christ.
I also learnt that is it necessary to join the church? And the answer was yes.
Because, when you examine the word and believe it then you will be baptized and after that, added to the church. According to the bible, those early Christians who were baptised were added to the church.
Again, The church was established by God through Christ. Christ is the head of the church. Christ bought the church with his blood.
And again as gentiles, God wants us to be part of the body of Christ. The body is the church. And Christ is the head of the body. As gentiles we have to join the church and be members of the body.
Another reason is that, the church was established so that the wisdom of God can be taught according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ.
What I learnt again was that, the official name of the church is the church of God.
That was the church that Christ preached in the Bible. The owner of the church is God so he was named after the church.
Thanks be to God
