from the Matt, Luke, John
Jesus loved so much tt He loved Judas, His traitor
-every church have to focus on doctrine, experience and practice
-live out based on what we believe
-unnatural development
-big doctrine, studying the bible only
-big experience, wanting to experience God only... no time to reflect on their life
-big practice, doing good, helping the poor only
-grow in knowledge (doctrine)
-grow spiritually (experience)
-ethics, morals.. our life measure up to our goals (practice)
2. spirituality
-our life with God
-pray
-walk by faith, love unconditionally
-christlikeness, developing the fruit of the spirit (vivification, mortification)
-the more knowledge, the more spirituality
3. ethics
=knowing about right and wrong according to the Bible
-has to do with our attitude, behavior and morality
-we need to have a balance of knowledge, spiritually, ethics
-we need to have the faith.. come to an understanding
-without values and priorities, will be a self-help club
-we naturally like to be with people tt we have something similar, but this is not a strong foundation.. its is doctrine tt will strengthen
-early church is so united cos they have the same doctrine
-"one accord" - musical, different instruments come together and make a beautiful melody
-ppl comes from different background believe in the same doctrine
-bible is inspired by the Holy Spirit.. can never fail
-can read it literally
-cross - penal substitution of Jesus
-conversion - all have to be born again
-community engagement - doing good in the society
1. baptism in the Holy Spirit
-2nd blessing after salvation
2. speaking in tongues
-initial evidence
3. continuationism
-miracle is for today
4. worship
-worship must be experiential
-in the bible, every time people worship God, there is a tangible presence and power of God
5. evangelism and missions
6. Arminianism
-God in His love is so sovereign gives us the free will to choose
-we believe Jesus is coming back in a rapture and establish the kingdom rule on earth
social gospel is abt doing good works
we cannot have a purpose without being unclear
only God can define love... not by our feelings
there are 2 groups of things
-things tt we dont know.. we have to be humble
-things tt are revealed to us.. we have a responsibility to guard it.. dont doubt what is given to us
a child can nv make up ones mind.. always shaken
-have an open mind to things unclear..
-things tt are obviously revealed to us... we cant be shaken
-reason = discuss using scripture
sometimes we are so heated tt we generate heat instead of light
