WHAT DO YOUR CHURCH LEADERS BELIEVE?  by steve finnell


What do your church leaders believe? Do they believe what the Scriptures teach or do they believe the false doctrines invented by men? Far too often church leaders simply lack the courage to answer doctrinal questions and refuse to answer.

Mark 11:27-33 ....."The baptism of John---was it from heaven or from men?........ 33 So they answered and said to Jesus, "We do not know...(NKJV)

The chief priests, scribes, and elders refuse to answer the question Jesus asked. They knew the answer, however, it did not fit their narrative. There are some church leaders today who refuse to answer when confronted with the truth if it does conform to their doctrinal position or their current practices. Many church leaders honestly do not know the truth and will normally answer even if it is contrary to Scripture.

 Acts 4:8-12....."Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no name under heaven given among men  by which we must be saved." (NKJV)

Do your church leaders believe Jesus is the only way to heaven or do they believe the men who proclaim there are many ways to be saved?

 Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.(NKJV)

Do your church leaders believe what the apostle Peter said or do they believe those who claim immersion in water is not essential for the forgiveness of sins?

 Hebrews 6:4-6 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again themselves the Son of God, and put Him to open shame.

Do your church leaders believe the Bible or do they believe John Calvin and his doctrine of "once saved always saved?"

Do your church leaders believe that all denominations who claim to be saved, are in fact on their way to heaven?

Do your church leaders believe that God gave multiple plans of salvation?

Do your church leaders believe, if you confess that Jesus is the Son of God you are a Christian washed by the blood of Jesus? Or do they believe in the terms of pardon mentioned in the New Testament Scriptures?

TERMS OF PARDON: FAITH John 3:16, REPENTANCE Acts 2:38, Acts 3:19, CONFESSION Romans 10:9, Water BAPTISM Mark 16:16, 1 Peter 3:21.
