The Elementary Doctrines Of Christ

The Elementary Doctrines of Christ takes its title directly from Hebrews 6:1-2. These two verses of scripture contain the six tenets of Christianity. The Christian faith couldn't stand without one of them. You could term them the irreducible minimum of the Christian faith. Whoever would like to live a full practicing Christian life would have to accept and do these in his life. The order in which they are given to us in the scriptures is their order of occurence in the life of a Christian. The book is excellent for those who have recently put their faith in Jesus Christ. However, older Christians who have not come across these tenets will be tremendouly blessed by reading and understanding them. Curious inquirers who would like to know what Christians believe would find this book precise and invaluable.

All believers begin their walks with Christ as infants who are newly born again but whom God intends to forge into mature representations of His being. Scripture identifies specific aspects of our spiritual education as the foundation of maturity for all believers: repentance from acts that lead to death, faith in God, instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. These are known as the Elementary Doctrines, cultural imperatives in the Kingdom of Heaven.Choosing this journey to maturity requires the regular observation and daily practice of these Elementary Doctrines. Christ uses their repeating patterns and practice to reshape willing believers' lives, turning them into mature representations of God on the earth.

Just as we all begin our natural lives as infants and progress to maturity, so do all believers begin their walks with Christ as infants who are newly born again, but whom God intends to forge into mature representations of His being.Yet the basic doctrinal Christian message has mostly ignored the need for maturity in individual believers, leaving scores of church members in perpetual infancy and the Church as a whole divided into denominations each focused on their own doctrinal emphases.Scripture, on the other hand, identifies certain aspects of one's spiritual education that form the foundation of maturity for all believers: "repentance from acts that lead to death, and...faith in God, instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment" (Hebrews 6:1b-2 NIV). These are known as the Elementary Doctrines.These concepts are not a set of distinctive doctrines relating to group membership. They are cultural imperatives for the path to maturity in the Kingdom of Heaven. Choosing to walk this path may begin with studying the matters presented in this text. The process itself, however, involves the regular observation and daily practice of these Elementary Doctrines. This is the process Christ uses, in many different forms, to reshape any willing believer's way of life, so that the individual may progress toward his or her mature representation of God's being in the earth.

What are the elementary principles of Christ, and why is it important for us to understand them? In his new book 'Fundamental Doctrines, ' Boldea Biblically explains often misunderstood foundational doctrines such as repentance, faith, baptisms, laying on of hands, eternal judgment, and much more. In his Bibliocentric approach, Boldea does away with personal opinion, and focuses exclusively on what the Bible says concerning these fundamental truths, and why it is important for every believer to understand them to the fullest. Both challenging and enlightening, Fundamental Doctrines promises to catapult your spiritual growth, and stir the desire for more of Jesus in your life.

Then the Laity will become more noble in character as were the Bereans, and with maturity, combine their faith with the Word allowing them to recognize when the leaders teach in ignorance of the Word. (acts 17:11, Heb. 4:2). Our Lords Beacon: The Elementary Teachings of Christ Jesus digs into the fundamental teachings of the doctrine of Christ Jesus. Many writings about the basics of Christianity have been published but without full knowledge of these six elementary truths, while using the meat of Gods Word, full maturity un a Christians life will never be attained. If we as Christians are stuck in the milk, in Gods eyes we are still yet infants since we are not yet acquainted with the teachings of the righteous. Furthermore, solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. One cannot use/digest solid food until one can fully digest the milk, and only if God permits it. (Heb. 5:13-14). Is todays church truly mature? Can todays church possibly be conducting itself and understanding good and evil as an infant, using only the milk of Gods Word? Is the world influencing the church more than the church is influencing the world? Can everything in todays church be traced back to The Elementary Teachings of Christ Jesus?

Their faith becomes a cherished treasure in our hearts, for they believed in the gospel that holds the righteousness of God. Therefore, we all need to have such faith urgently. Anyone who believes in Jesus must know the righteousness of God and believe in it, and he must spread it throughout the world, for only then can all others also come to know this righteousness and believe in it. And through the Word of God, all sinners must learn about His righteousness. And they must believe, for this is how they can take the righteousness of God by faith. Without the faith that allows one to attain God's righteousness from His Word, no one can accept the Lord as his Savior. We must now return to the true faith that knows and believes in the righteousness of God, for only those who believe in this righteousness of God can become His royal priests. The royal priests here refer to those who have received the remission of their sins by believing in God's righteousness. We can become true believers who have this true faith only by believing in God's righteousness and becoming His righteous people. It is more than possible for all of us to have the same faith that the Apostles had. The New Life Mission https://www.bjnewlife.org

In addressing believers, the Amplified Classic version of the Bible refers to the six elementary principles of the doctrine of Christ as "matters of which you should have been fully aware long, long ago" (Hebrews 6:2). However, in our day, many have become fully unaware of these matters. This book was written to help ground all new believers and to stir and embolden older believers in the much-neglected foundational truths of God's Word. A structurally sound building is dependent on a properly set foundation. Likewise, a spiritually sound life depends on a proper foundation of God's Word, which should begin with the six elementary principles of the doctrine of Christ. They are: Repentance from dead works, faith toward God, the doctrine of baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. These foundational and eternal truths serve as a bulwark against spiritual deception that plagues multitudes of humans, keeping them blind, bound, and headed for destruction. No matter what is propagated by religion, academia, or "science" in these last days and perilous times, the six elementary principles of the doctrine of Christ, which is the infallible Word of Almighty God, shall never be prevailed against or pass away.
