Doctrine, Jesus Christ as the Source of
(From Forerunner Commentary)

1 Corinthians 1:10  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) The members of God's church do not establish their own doctrines. If they did, confusion would result, for each member is at a different level of growth in knowledge and character. God's church is organized, speaking the same thing, unified through the authority God has placed in His ministers. The doctrines of God's church come from God through Jesus Christ through His Word and His inspiration in the men He has chosen to direct His church. Let it be emphasized that the church's purpose is not merely to give salvation to church members—the purpose is to teach and train them to become the instruments God will use to save the vast majority. Pentecost: Only 'Firstfruits' Now Called!

Hebrews 6:1-2  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) The seven doctrines listed in Hebrews 6 are not all the doctrines of the church, but represent a basic understanding of God's truth early in the process of conversion. The first, "go[ing] on to perfection," means pressing on to or striving for spiritual maturity. It is not enough for a Christian to maintain a basic level of understanding—He must grow toward perfection, completion, or maturity in the doctrines of Christ. Part of this process we call "overcoming sin." Martin G. Collins Basic Doctrines: Doctrine
