We present one or more of the new testament chapters on each daily blog and when we finish Revelation we began again with Matthew, the first book of the New Testament Bible.
The doctrines for the New Testament church are presented in the New Testament Bible.
Individual churches often publish their own doctrines but it is critical that each of their doctrines line up with the New Testament Bible and that they do not add to scripture or take away from scripture.
One time we met a Jewish woman who said she is a born again Christian and now believes in Jesus. This woman was hoping to remarry after divorce.
Pam Padgett warned this woman that if she does that, she will commit adultery according to the Bible. And Pam shared what Jesus said in the following scripture:
Matthew 5:32 But I say unto you, "That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.”
* If the faithful wife is divorced by her husband and if she remarries after he divorces her she will commit adultery and that husband who divorced her will be the cause of her adultery.
* And the man who marries the woman who has been divorced will commit adultery.

The divorced Jewish woman said to Pam, "Oh, we have our own doctrine about this."
Pam was shocked and she told me what the woman said, and I cried out: "There is no doctrine other than the doctrine presented in the New Testament Bible!"

Each of us will appear at the judgment seat of Christ where we will be judged by the Word of God, by the Holy Scripture, for that which we have done on this earth, "whether good or bad."
The apostle Paul says:
2 Corinthians 5
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men;

Matthew 12 Jesus says:
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
While we live on this earth as Christians, we align our thinking with those scriptures of the New Testament Bible.
2 Timothy 3
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

So we who are of God, read the New Testament scriptures and we re-read them, many times, as long as God leaves us on this earth.
We conform ourselves to the New Testament Bible, the New Covenant, although many promises of God are presented in the Old Testament and apply to us today. And all scripture is given for our own admonition.
I Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

So we conform our thinking to the scriptures given by God to the church. We read the Bible to do that as God opens our eyes to see the truth.
I Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Jesus says:
John 3:3 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Unless we are born again, we cannot see spiritual things.

God showed Ezekiel the prophet what the New Testament church would be:
Ezekiel 36 God says:
25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27 And I will put MY spirit within you, and cause you to walk in MY statutes, and ye shall keep MY judgments, and do them.

We read the Bible by the Holy Spirit of God which is in us and God gives HIS people an understanding to know things of God and to know the scriptures.
We follow God by the Holy Spirit of God.
Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

God tells us of the apostate churches of the end times:
2 Thessalonians 2
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
(In 1982, I was reading the above scripture, when God spoke to me and said: "The falling away are not people leaving the churches. The falling away are the churches leaving the scriptures."
When Jesus returns to gather the elect of God and to raise the dead, HE will judge the world and the apostate churches.
2 Thessalonians 2
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
If the church you attend casts aside certain scriptures and sets up doctrine opposite to the Bible, you are attending a church of the end time apostasy.
Leave now. Uphold the Bible. Worship God in Spirit and in truth.
