Babies are not born lost in sin or totally depraved—they are pure and will be in Heaven if they die or are murdered (2 Sam. 12:23; Ezek. 18:20; 28:15; Mt. 18:3; 19:14).
God must come before family (Mt. 10:34-39).
God loves homosexuals, but He hates homosexuality (Jn. 3:16; 1 Cor. 6:9-11; Jude 7; Heb. 1:9).
A marriage is only for an eligible man and an eligible woman (Mt. 19:3-9).
A couple joined by God in marriage may only divorce for one reason—fornication (the spouse not guilty of fornication may put away the adulterer—Mt. 5:32; 19:3-12).
God is both good and severe (Rom. 11:22). “God is love” (1 Jn. 4:8); and “God is a consuming fire” (Heb. 12:28-29; cf. 10:31).
Hell is just as real and enduring as Heaven (Mt. 25:41, 46).
We do not “have to” sin; we have a choice, for which we will be held accountable (Rom. 6:23; 1 Cor. 10:13; 2 Cor. 5:10; 1 Pet. 1:15-16; 1 Jn. 2:1-6).
If we say we know God and live in disobedience to Him, John said we are lying (1 Jn. 1:6; 2:3-4; 5:3).
Refusing to faithfully assemble and worship God when able will cause a child of God to miss Heaven (Jn. 4:24; Acts 20:7; 1 Cor. 11:23-34; 16:2; Eph. 5:19-20; Heb. 10:23-31).
If we show support for false teachers or false religions, we are partakers of their guilt (2 Jn. 10-11).
Christ only built one church, and it still exists today (Dan. 2:44; Mt. 16:18-19,28; Eph. 4:4; 5:23).
The concept of denominationalism (man-made religious divisions) is against God’s will, and is therefore sinful (Jn. 17:17-23; Rom. 16:17; 1 Cor. 1:10-13; 1 Jn. 3:4).
If one simply follows the Bible, he cannot be in a denomination, but will be in Christ’s one church He promised to build (Mt. 16:18; Acts 2:38-41,47; Rom. 16:16).
Women are commanded by God to submit to their husbands (Gen. 3:16; 1 Cor. 11:3; Eph. 5:22-24, 33; Col. 3:18; 1 Pet. 3:1-6).
Husbands are commanded to love their wives as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for it (Eph. 5:25; Col. 3:19).
Women have their own role in the church, but are not allowed to take leadership or teach/preach over men (1 Cor. 14:34-35; 1 Tim. 2:8-15; 3:1-12; Titus 1:6).
A saved child of God can fall from grace (Gal. 5:4; Heb. 3:1,12; 4:1,11; 10:23-31; 2 Pet. 2:20-22; Rev. 22:19).
Men must obey the law of their civil government, unless obeying a civil law will cause one to violate divine law (Acts 4:19; 5:29; Rom. 13:1-7; 1 Pet. 2:13-15).
Sound doctrine is essential for becoming saved and staying saved (Jn. 8:31-32; Gal. 1:6-9; 1 Tim. 4:16; 2 Tim. 2:15-18).
We cannot earn it, but we have responsibility towards our own salvation (Acts 2:38-41; Rom. 6:16-18; Php. 2:12; 1 Pet. 1:22; 2 Pet. 1:10; Heb. 5:9; 1 Jn. 1:6-9).
In the Bible, there is no such thing as “the sinner’s prayer” for an alien sinner to become a saved child of God under the New Covenant—prayer passages have been taken out of context to support a man-made doctrine.
The phrase “faith only” is only found once in the Bible, but notice how it is used: “Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only” (James 2:24; cf. Acts 10:35).
Water baptism is not for infants, who are sinless—it requires accountable sinners able to understand/believe the Gospel, repent, and confess Christ (Mk. 16:16; Acts 2:38; 8:36-37).
Jesus said water baptism is essential for salvation (Jn. 3:5; Mt. 28:19; Mk. 16:16).
Paul said water baptism is essential (Rom. 6:3-5; Gal. 3:27; Eph. 5:26; Col. 2:11-13; cf. Acts 22:16).
Peter said water baptism is essential (Acts 2:38; 1 Pet. 3:20-21).
Baptism alone is no more valid than faith alone (Acts 8:12-24; James 2:14-26).
In fact, nothing “alone” saves, because there are several things and beings involved, with God being the one who made it all possible through His Son (Jn. 3:16; Rom. 5:8-10; 1 Jn. 2:1-2; 4:9, 10).
