451: Official creed of the Foursquare Gospel church (4-sqauare)
International 4 Square (The Foursquare Gospel Church) The Holy Scriptures We believe the Bible is God-inspired (2 Timothy 3:16,17). The Eternal Godhead We believe God is Triune: Father, Son and Holy Ghost (2 Corinthians 13:14). The Fall Of Man We believe that man was created in the image of God, but that by voluntary disobedience he fell from perfection (Romans 5:12). The Plan Of Salvation We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, signing the pardon of all who believe on Him ... Baptism And The Lord's Supper We believe that baptism by immersion is an outward sign of an inward work (Matt. 28:19).

Baptism With The Holy Spirit We believe that the Baptism with the Holy Spirit is to endue the believer with power; and that His incoming is after the same manner as in Bible days (Acts 2:4). The Spirit-Filled Life We believe that it is the will ... ...

456: Official creed of Church of the Nazarene
This Manual contains the decisions and judgments of ministerial and lay delegates of the Twenty-first General Assembly, which met in Anaheim, Calif, June 23-38, 1985, and is therefore authoritative as a guide for action, Because it is the official statement of the faith and practice of the church and is consistent with the teachings of the Scriptures, we expect our people every where to accept the tenets of doctrine and the guides and helps to holy living contained in it. To fail to do so, after formally taking the membership vows of the Church of the Nazarene injures the witness of the church, violates her conscience, and dissipates the fellowship of the people called Nazarenes. With the Bible as our supreme Guide, illuminated by the Holy Spirit, and the Manual as our official agreed-upon statement of faith, practice, and polity, we look forward to the new quadrennium with joy and unswerving faith in Jesus Christ.

459: McKenzie, John L.: Dictionary of the Bible
The Watchtower takes little bits of McKenzie's comments on Jn 1:1 (a god) and leaves the false impression in the mind of the reader that McKenzie agreed with the JW's mistranslation. What is clear, is that when McKenzie says Jesus is a divine being, he is saying that Jesus is in that unique class of divine being with the Father and the Holy Spirit, to the exclusion of all others. Jehovah's Witnesses satanically redefine the meaning of the phrase, "divine being" into something different than what McKenzie meant.

472: Is your home built with Bible Blueprints?
After careful examination of the blueprints, it was discovered that the architect had forgot to draw the utility blueprint. Everything the architect had drawn was perfect and without flaw, but he provided an incomplete set of blueprints for the builders. Now in our parable, God is the architect of the church and we are the builders. God has provided man with a set of blueprints... the Holy Bible. (Heb 8:5 & 1 Cor 3:10-11) They are the pattern of doctrine and worship for the church. But are the blueprints complete? Did God provide a complete set of blueprints or are we left to guess? Is the Bible complete enough to be considered an all sufficient guide? Jesus made this promise to the apostles in Jn 16:13, "But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth". The apostles were inspired directly by the Holy Spirit and thus we have all the truth in the New Testament. This fulfills the very promise that Jesus made to them.

Notice there is to be a plurality of elders in every church or congregation. This is the way the Lord set up His church. But what does the Lord intend for the elders to do in His church? In Acts 20:28 the apostle Paul was talking to the elders from the church at Ephesus and told them, "Therefore take heed to yourselves, and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers." The church the Lord built is to be overseen by a plurality of elders. The qualifications of elders who are to oversee each congregation of the Lord's church are given in 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and in Titus 1:3-9. Is each congregation of the church you belong to overseen by a plurality of elders? If not, why not? If it is to be the Lord's church and has men who qualify, each congregation is to be overseen by a plurality of elders.

476: Is your home built with Bible Blueprints?
After careful examination of the blueprints, it was discovered that the architect had forgot to draw the utility blueprint. Everything the architect had drawn was perfect and without flaw, but he provided an incomplete set of blueprints for the builders. Now in our parable, God is the architect of the church and we are the builders. God has provided man with a set of blueprints... the Holy Bible. (Heb 8:5 & 1 Cor 3:10-11) They are the pattern of doctrine and worship for the church. But are the blueprints complete? Did God provide a complete set of blueprints or are we left to guess? Is the Bible complete enough to be considered an all sufficient guide? Jesus made this promise to the apostles in Jn 16:13, "But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth". The apostles were inspired directly by the Holy Spirit and thus we have all the truth in the New Testament. This fulfills the very promise that Jesus made to them. Isn't it great to know that we have a ... ...

However, the additional words of Job's wife (Job 2:9a,9b,9c, 9d, LXX) found in the Septuagint but absent in the Masoretic are a different matter altogether and likely represent a scribal addition (gloss).

496: 4 Essential Truths that are required for someone to convert!

Do this by confronting the student with the teachings found in the creed book used by his/her own church. Show that the creed book teaches things foreign to the Bible. Let me illustrate by two examples. A. The Discipline of The Methodist Church (1960) First, from the Discipline read the following: We have therefore expected that the discipline would be administered, not merely as a legal document, but as a revelation of the Holy Spirit working in and through our people. Then ask, Does the Methodist church use the Bible only? Second, read the following: Wherefore that we are justified by faith only is a most wholesome doctrine and very full of comfort. Then compare this statement with James 2:24. B. AGC Articles Of Faith And Doctrine (1983) (Canadian denomination) First, from the Articles read the following: Calling of the ... ...

Church Creeds: The fuel of religious division In a historical trial in Waterloo, Iowa in 1951, the will of one who had left large sums of money to Christian charities was contested. In it, three Protestant clergymen were asked: "What is a Christian?" They responded by defining a Christian as one who believes in the Apostles Creed, the Holy Trinity, in God, the Divinity of Christ, and who subscribes to a confession of faith. Notice this definition denies to those refusing to accept the Apostles Creed and a denominational confession the name Christian. By it neither Peter nor Paul would qualify as a ... Some may wonder how anyone could legitimately object to it as a confession of the church. The problem is not that the Apostles Creed is erroneous, but that it is a human expression placed on par with the divine revelation of the Bible.

Both share a similar hermeneutic on how to determine truth: Catholics have a system called, "Doctrine of Development" popularized by Dr. Newman, but anticipated by the German theologian Mohler in his work, Symbolik.
