DOCTRINE THAT SAVES

08/29/2010

Part 4

“Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee” (1 Timothy 4:16).

Which basic Bible truth does the negotiator want to sacrifice? When people are church shopping, there are two basic areas of grave concern: The Doctrinal and Practical. Or another way to state it – Discipleship and Evangelism.

Bible doctrine greatly influences enthusiasm and evangelism. The loyal lover of Jesus Christ must demand a pulpit ministry that is true to the Scriptures in seven areas:

1. Theology – Who is God? Is He absolutely sovereign or not? If the Triune God is not sovereign in the affairs of men, He is not God.
2. Bibliology – Is the Bible the absolute authority or not? And which Bible: the one under some glass in a Middle Eastern monastery or one you can read in your mother tongue? If the King James Bible is not the infallible, preserved Word of God, where is it?
3. Christology – The eternal Son of God is coequal with the Father and Spirit and, as the Son of God, He condescended, but He has not been demoted. He is the ONLY WAY to the Father.
4. Anthropology – Since the fall of Adam, men are born dead sinners incapable of self-birth. Freewill only restrains man from coming to Christ. Outside of sovereign grace, man is utterly hopeless.
5. Soteriology – Salvation is wholly of grace. Beginning with divine election, a particular atonement, a special wooing and quickening of the Holy Spirit, followed by the gifts of repentance and faith – the same grace that saves the guilty sinner keeps him saved.
6. Ecclesiology – The only true church found in scripture is the one Jesus started during His earthly ministry. It is local, visible and answers strictly to Christ. No board, convention or pope will ever share the affection of the Lord’s true bride.
7. Missiology – The world is the church’s mission field. Making disciples, then scripturally baptizing and enrolling each convert into a strict discipleship program, is the goal of every scriptural church. Soul-winning is a command, not a gimmick.

Which area of doctrine do you want to sacrifice because of your pet issue or your personality conflict? And which area of doctrine would you denigrate as insignificant?

Anything or anyone that would contradict sound Bible doctrine – mark them and avoid them.
“Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them” (Romans 16:17).
