Working out a good understanding of doctrine is messy. Good thing we are saved by Grace rather than doctrine.
Spiritual reveation of God's Truth comes only through the indwelling Holy Spirit.aspen said:
Some of us have their minds and hearts open, and some do not.
Some of us are blinded by long-held religious dogma, false doctrines and opinions, biases, etc.
When I was saved at age 35, I had none of these to hinder me.
I believe strongly: the only way is to trust Scripture and the Holy Spirit's revelation of its meaning!
A good way to test your doctrine is to present it in a forum like this one. You will soon find willing participants who will critique such beliefs against the word of God. 1 Timothy 4:16
Even keeping in mind that we discuss and work through some very sober topics, a forum is not the place to be deriving doctrine. I always welcome and suggest it as a tool to refine, potentially purify (by fire), and even learn about other doctrines, but I strongly caution against it becoming a place where you get doctrine. I'd look more to study, reference tools and ultimately Churches to do that line of work to let Christ work in our hearts.
This is, of course, keeping in mind such passages as those in 1 & 2 Timothy and Acts 17:11.

Hammerstone,
I agree which is why I posted this as a tongue in cheek way to combat the "why you shouldn't trust the doctrines of your church" thread.

Fairly soon, you will discover just how incompetent (I could use far worse language)
the churches have really been ... So, enjoy everything while you can!

which are not preparing the sheep for anything, let alone the end-times!
But, I wish you the best of luck!

We are indeed saved by Grace, but it doesn't end there.aspen said:
1Ti 4:16 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.
I don't think any doctrines being promoted here are original. They are just what some have learned. Sadly, the word 'doctrine' has taken on some very negative connotations. I prefer 'dogma' when it comes to those kind of teachings. Many here have a good grasp on scripture, but we seem to see the most activity on threads where BAD doctrine is being promoted.
