03/29/22  IT IS A STARK CONTRAST

Our salvation depends on a proper knowledge of Doctrinal Truth, and Personal Experience of Practical Christian behavior.

 

But some folks focus on the Doctrinal to the exclusion of the Practical.

 

But you can't see or understand the Doctrinal if you don't see or understand the Practical.

Some other folks focus on the Practical to the exclusion of the Doctrinal.

 

Conversely, you can't see or understand the Practical if you don't see or understand the Doctrinal.

 

As priests of God, our lives should be adorned with Bells (verbal witness) and Pomegranates (experiential witness) of salvation.

Our walk with God, our growth in Christ should be based in knowing God's word, and showing God's power.

Our belief must be based in Divine, inerrant revelation.

Our experience must be produced by a vital, personal relationship with God's Spirit.

Doctrine without Experience is head religion.

Experience without Doctrine is emotional and behavioral.

Our salvation must be a combination of the Scriptural and the Personal.
