Should a person
have a “set,” doctrine of belief?
Answer: Yes!
Let's use a church for an example, say
the ...doesn't matter which one.
Let us use the Catholic Church as our
example.
They have set Ideologies regarding:
Mary
Baptism
Eucharist
Penance
Purgatory
etc, etc.
Better not let this church hear that
“those who have set christian ideologies have a disease....”
They certainly would abhor such a
teaching, as we can see, they have many set ideologies!
And we could have said it of any
church, the Baptists, Methodists, Lutherans, etc. etc. etc., for they
all hold to set Christian beliefs, thank God.
Where would we be today without great
men and women of faith!

Our world has known Men and Women of
principle and Biblical Ideology, and thank God, for everyone!
The question remains, who, just who
would not hold to “set,” ideologies of The Word Of God?
Certainly someone who is lawless,
better yet, someone who takes some of The Word, and leaves the rest.
Takes what suits him, and discards what he does not want.
This is nothing new, but from ancient
times, when Cain, refused to do what was right, and who hated his
brother who did. The result, he wished to kill his righteous brother,
and in his hatred, he did!
Dear friend, read The Word Of God, for
yourself, do not abrogate the eternal salvation of your soul to
anyone else! Read The Word, memorize The Word, and speak The Word.

For the commandment is a lamp; and
the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

For I am not ashamed of the gospel
of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one
that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms
and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to
The Lord.
A WARNING
FROM THE LORD JESUS CHRIST:
Matthew 7:13-23 KJV
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate,
and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many
there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which
leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of
thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a
corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a
corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and
cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter
into the kingdom of heaven;
but he that
doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not
prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in
thy name done many wonderful works?
A religious people, who call upon The Lord, by religious
observance, rather than repentance, and obedience to His Word!
Called the broadway for a reason. Broadway, because it requieres
nothing, certainly not repentance, nor adherence to God's Word.
Called the broadway because of it's WIDE ACCPETANCE- the
“popular-well received way” by the masses. No one is excluded.
How unlike our Savior who warned...
Luke 13:3,5 KJV
3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise
perish.
5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise
perish.
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart
from Me, ye that work iniquity.
False Prophets, who espouse such a hollow religion, are called by our
Savior, “Workers of Iniquity.”
All the prophesy, religious works, and exorcisms mean nothing.
Ephesians 2:8,9 KJV
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is The Gift Of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is The Gift Of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Proponents of a religion that does not Biblically require repentance
from sin, and adherence to the Word Of God, are workers of
iniquity.
Who said so? Jesus said so.
Dead ceremonialism, leads to spiritual death.
Dear friend, “set,” as your spiritual guide, the precious Word Of
God, and live by it always.
Psalm 119:11,105,130 KJV
11 Thy Word have I hid in mine
heart, that I might not sin against thee.
105 Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet,
and a light unto my path.
130 The entrance of thy Words giveth
light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
