In the Bible, the doctrine of Christ includes his virgin birth, his miracles, his death, burial and resurrection, and ascension to the right hand of God. However, there are other things that are important which are in the doctrine of Christ. They include his church, worship, repentance, baptism, the Holy Spirit, the Lord's Supper, right living, and his second coming as well as others.

Does God Approve Instrumental Music in church? Thus, if an act of worship -is done without scriptural approval, it is done without faith, for faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Because that which is not of faith is sin, it is unnecessary that the Word of God prohibit the act; it is only necessary that it be uncommanded.

Sola Scriptura: Mistakes made by the Apostolic Fathers based ... The Lord created Me at the beginning of His work, the first of His acts of old (RSV).

Arius' answer was that the Logos is a creature, albeit the highest, noblest, and best of creatures. Those who sought to uphold the Orthodox doctrine that Christ is the uncreated Son of God had to deal with Arius' interpretation of Proverbs. St. Hilary of Poitiers wrote that this passage was "the greatest billow in the storm they raise, the big wave of the whirling tempest." The Orthodox countered that the passage refers to the humanity of Christ, not to His divinity.
