The Apostles taught and practised the standards of salvation that the Lord had given them through his direct teachings and through the Holy Ghost, the 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 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 all had to observe this way and do as Moses had commanded them. 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.
