@erdenpilger I am not certain I can share in such a short post, but when it comes to doctrine, we stick to salvation essentials as laid out in the Bible. Jesus did not make it difficult to receive salvation, so the onus is on us to keep it as simple as He did. Who are the Christians in the Bible? Its not enough to identify as one. Its not enough so simply say it - Christians were identified by one thing.... those following Jesus. Our doctrine is one of following. following is'nt easy. It's simple, but not easy. Simple and easy aren't the same thing. You can be a JW and say that you are a Christian - but you aren't a follower because Jesus did not lead that way. You are going a different direction. You can be a homosexual pastor and say that you are a Christian, but you aren't a follower, Jesus did not lead that direction. It is not just about bad doctrine. You can also embrace the correct doctrine, confess with your lips, and not be a follower. We must be followers.
