Summary of what I learnt from the teachings of brother Eli on our Mass indoctrination held on zoom.
It is evil to forsake the doctrines of Christ and follow the commandment and tradition of men. Let us do a proper examining before joining a particular religion because there is great deceit and manipulation in our world time. A lot of pastors preaches the wrong doctrines to us even the Bible itself warns us about such pastors. The doctrines of Christ are with l written in the Bible. So we should not accept any other word or teaching that is not in the Bible.
1 Corinthians 14:37 This scripture explains it all. This scripture is saying that if anyone claims to be a messenger of God or he or she has a spiritual gift, such person much realize and accept that what is in the scripture is the commandment of the Lord.
Matthew 28:19-20 In this scripture Christ was telling his disciples to go everywhere and make everyone his disciples. baptize the people in the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit. after baptizing them they should teach them to obey everything Christ has commanded them. Christ himself will be with them always till the end of time.
The very first thing that God told Paul to do when he left Judaism was to be baptized. You have to be baptized in the name of the father, the son and the
holy spirit before you can be a formal member of the true church of God. Paul became a member of the church of God he was persecuting.
Galatians 1:23 in this scripture one of the member of the church was saying that Paul who was persecuting them is now preaching the faith that he wanted to destroy.
The very first doctrine fufilled by paul was baptism. Baptism is the formal way of becoming a member of the church of God. After recieving the word of God and then accept it in our heart the next we should observe is baptism.
God did not build the church only for us to ignore and reject the church. because Christ himself talked about the church. he is the head of the church while we true believers of the word are the body of the church. The church is very important in our christain life. if we receive Christ we must recieve his teaching too.
