Brother Eliseo started with the importance of learning the doctrines of Christ. He taught that we must learn the commandments of Christ and not of Man, He said that if we uphold the doctrines of men and neglects the doctrines of Christ in the name of religion, that our religion activities are all in vain. Matt 17:5, The bible made it know to us that Jesus is the beloved of God and it is His doctrines that we must learn.
What are the important points we have learned from the words of God discussed in the Zoom meeting?
One of the doctrines of Christ is to join the church through Baptism. Bro Eliseo taught that the formal act of joining the church is through Baptism.
JOINING THE BODY OF CHRIST (CHURCH OF GOD)
This teaching by brother Eli assented on the Church of God, he was teaching us the importance of becoming a member of the Church of God. He thought about how Paul who had been persecuting the church was called into the same church and how he was baptized for him to become a member of the church. Galatians 1:23
baptism is an important doctrine in joining the church, and this is the formal act of joining the church this is the law of Christ. Before we go for baptism baptism it is important to know the teachings of Christ. Matthew 28:20
We have to join the church to become a member of the body of Christ. If it is not necessary to join the church,then Jesus will not build the church. Ephesians 3:6
We all should be part of the body. What is this body?
Colossians 1:18
Here we know that the body is the church and Jesus is the head of the church and the body is called the Church of God.
Anyone that accepts Christ and reject his commandment is the same as rejecting Christ Jesus himself. Anyone that refuse to join the Church of God as rejected Christ .
John 12:48
The official name for the church in the Bible is the "Church of God" name after the owner "God". Isaiah 43:7 taught us that anything that is of God should be named after its owner which is God
Everything that is of God is named after God even Christ is called Christ of God. The people of God are called by the name of God and so also the Church of God.
What are our former beliefs or expectation that was improved for listening at the Zoom meeting?
Before listening to this Indoctrination session, I used to believe that baptism is not that important, that the only important thing is to confess and accept Jesus Christ as Lord and saviour. I used to believe that the name of the church doesn't matter, be it assembly or Baptist Church.
How does the study affect us that can make us a better person that we can use in our daily lives?
The study will really do a lot in improving lives of christians as this issue of baptism and church names is not clear to some people. I as a person now see baptism as an important thing.
