The
Apostles did the teachings and practiced the standards of salvation, which the Lord
had given them through his direct teachings and through the Holy Ghost. These
words that we now hold fast the word of God. We are instructed to “earnestly
contend for the faith that was once delivered unto the saints. We endeavour to
comply with what the Prophets and the Apostles left on record in order to instruct
and lead the people of God.
As man has tried to go
before God and do what they think is best they have erred and as a result
watered down the Standard of Salvation and ignored the word and principles.
Therefore it is imperative that we maintain God’s standards and expose those
that would pervert that doctrine and lead people in to captivity.
God had only one way for
Israel and they all had to observe this way and do as Moses had commanded.
Hence, we must observe and do all that was commanded to us by the Lord Jesus
through the Apostles. God has required of us but one way. He has also given us
an example of what we must do: "Except a
man be born of the water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of
God" (St. John 3:5). Men and women alike
must receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, speaking in other tongues, according to
Acts 2:4
Therefore it is our earnest
desire to follow the word of God as outlined in the scriptures, as the word of
God said, “He that believeth on me as the scripture says out of his belly shall
follow rivers of living water”. Every word of God is right and true.
Hear and your souls shall
live.
