THE PRINCIPLES OF THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST

Building Your House Upon The Rock, as Followers Of Christ, first of all requires a blueprint approved by the three member Planning Board: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Since the Church has been "built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets", we have a long tradition of proven architecture and expertise from which to draw. But those fundamental requirements of our foundation always remain the same. We also need to employ a "wise master builder" to organize the project, along with a "master of assemblies" to oversee every detail of the construction, so we can guarantee our complete success. Do you have your Permits? Will you be ready for your Inspections?

Greetings Beloved, In the Precious Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I'm Rev. John McFarland, and I'm excited to welcome you once again to the Wonderful Counselor experience of prophetic outreach ministry and apostolic empowerment for your life, which is in modern terms, your "spiritual life coach".

“I Am Here To Call You Forth Into God’s Kairos Time:

To Confirm And Accelerate Your Heavenly Vision,

To Declare And Reveal Your Windows Of Opportunity;

To Open Doors To Your Future,

Which Can Never Again Be Closed;

And Close Doors To Your Past,

Which Can Never Again Be Opened."

When Nehemiah was called by God to restore Jerusalem, the first thing he did was seek and obtain written permission from the King, not only for lawful passage to survey the problems and undertake the work, but also to engage others for the resources necessary to build and restore the Holy City. We also have our marching orders from the King!

Hebrews 6
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us then go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And this will we do, if God permit.

The foundation of our Christian faith has been directly set forth in Hebrews 6:1-3, and plainly declared to be “the principles of the doctrine of Christ.” If we really need a systematic theology, as others advocate and develop, then let us make use of God’s system, presented here, as being those proper designations, or necessary assignments, of the Holy Spirit. Whether articulated as rudimental proposition, fundamental requirement, elemental criterion, prototypical guide, touchstone, benchmark, or just the basic ideas, I am persuaded any doctrinal issues may be readily subsumed within the context of their simple outline, which is further confirmed to be the foundation, by the perfectly clear admonition and instruction, about “not laying again the foundation”, these principles comprise.

Repentance From Dead Works

Faith Towards God

The Doctrine Of Baptisms

The Laying On Of Hands

Resurrection Of The Dead

Eternal Judgment

But, before we begin to examine the scriptures, which explain and develop these principles, we need to consider exactly what is meant by “the doctrine of Christ”. It is something more specific than the standardized definitions we might find in dictionaries, as this rendering from The American Heritage Dictionary will help us to understand by comparison, as we search out a uniquely spiritual definition.

Doctrine (noun):
1. A religious, political, scientific, or philosophic group; dogma.
2. A rule or principle of law, especially when established by precedent.
3. A statement of official government policy, especially in foreign affairs.
4. Archaic - Something taught, a teaching.

What you just read is a rather simplistic and sterile definition. But Moses had a completely different take on doctrine, because he had encountered the Living Word. During the upcoming year, I pray your eyes will be opened to see what Moses saw in every blade of grass crowned with a dewdrop of glory, declaring the real doctrine of Christ, as "the hidden things of God, are revealed in the things which are made"..

Deuteronomy 32

Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers bestow upon the grass. Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
