When one considers all of the terms for the word doctrine, it reflects teaching that is done in order to influence one's understanding while shaping the will with the knowledge being taught. The book of 2 Timothy 3:16 reveals the importance of the Word of God in that it is divinely inspired and profitable for doctrine. This text will explore the doctrinal tenets that were given to the Apostles and commanded to be taught to his disciples.

This booklet is the second in a series that will explore the doctrine that the Apostles taught according to their experiences with Jesus our Lord. Many in the church world seek to avoid the subject of doctrine altogether. Doctrine at many times will cause divisions, especially because most people will not reason together in prayer and continue to seek the face of the Lord until doctrinal issues are settled, according to scriptural exegetical exposition.

The Word of God reveals to us that there is one Lord, one faith, and one baptism (Ephesian 4:5). This small work is written to explain this one faith and is based on Acts 2:38-42, a sermon text. Did the Apostolic beginnings of the church mean any thing at all? Is the church of today really standing on the solid rock? Many of the scholars in the world of Christiandom have greatly misunderstood the Apostolic faith because many of her heralds did not properly convey the Apostolic tenets.

In today’s time many people look at the church and do not see a difference between those who are in what the Bible describes as “the world”, and those who profess to be in the church, which is considered to be the Body of Christ. God has set a standard for His bride, and this standard is that of holiness.

In the world today there are many choices and many concepts about everything. With these different concepts a wide array of philosophical attitudes also exists. In philosophy many things are devoid of specifics and often lack tangent (solid) ideas.The identity of Christ is a very important factor in Biblical prophecy as well as salvation and doctrine. If the identity of Christ is misunderstood then false teaching will arise.

The person of Christ and the part He plays in your redemption is continually being questioned as well as His divinity. We are certainly living in a time where men will not endure sound doctrine. In this small volume, which is the follow up to the book entitled “Oneness of the Godhead a Systematic Study”, the Godhead will be further investigated. May every Christian believer commit himself, mind, body, soul, strength and all of his resources to the upholding of the Word of God.

It has been perhaps thousands of years since the tongues of fire first appeared in the upper room. That event was the most epic event in the history of creation, for it was the proclamation and birth cries of the new creation children. The church of the Living God was born functioning as their Heavenly Father does, using speech and releasing the praise of power of God. We must wonder why the church has not understood the importance of tongues, nor the how and why of tongues.

We have seen in the Word of God in the Book of Acts, the events of the first New Testament expression of the outpouring of the Holy Ghost. In this phenomenal outpouring, there was speaking in tongues and there were the cloven tongues of fire. There have been many conjectures as to why these tongues have not been manifested in today's religious world at large. Could it be that the general church populace has not come up to the standard in holiness and righteousness?
