Do you fully agree with your church's doctrine?
Do you fully agree with your church's doctrine? Do you feel it is wrong to question what you have been taught? If so why? If not, what do you disagree with and why? I am just curious.
I was raised in a United Methodist church but eventually gravitated to Assemblies of God. I have a couple areas of disagreement when it comes to A/G doctrine. I have arrived at these disagreements through personal study. I believe doctrine is a starting point, but that every believer should investigate to see if they come to the same conclusions.
1. I am not thoroughly convinced that the coming of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost was separate from being "Born Again" (this idea is unique to Pentecostals). But I am not convinced that it was not (most other denominations teach this). I remain neutral on the issue and don't get worked up about it.
2. I lean toward annihilation of the wicked rather than an eternal conscious punishment. This is a very big issue with lots of ramifications.
3. I don't believe a divorced person is ineligible for a church leadership role. The Assemblies will not, in most cases, ordain a divorced person. Of course a former drug dealer, etc. is eligible. This just doesn't pass the common sense test, nor does this idea stand up to proper biblical interpretation.
