354: Psychiatry views faith in God as a brain trick!
The Bible explicitly teaches that man has a spirit and a soul that is not only entirely distinct from the body, it consciously survives death. Eccl 12:7 says that at death: "then the dust (body) will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it." Ecclesiastes 12:7. This concept of the dual nature of man is rejected by most everyone in the psychiatric community. The Bible explicitly teaches that when a person dies, they do not cease to exist, but continue in conscious existence with all their memories intact awaiting judgement from God for everything they have ... A. Psychiatry rejects the soul and spirit: "At that point it may become obvious to everyone that all we are looking at is a piece of machinery, an analog chemical computer, that processes information from the environment. "All," since you can look and look and you will not find any ghostly self inside, or any mind, or any soul. Thereupon, in the year 2006 or 2026, some new Nietzsche will step ... ...

355: Official Creed of The New Apostolic Church

The Fifth Article of Faith: I believe that all ministrations in the Church of Christ are chosen and ordained into their ministries only by Apostles and that all gifts and powers must come forth out of the Apostle ministry; equipped with these, the community becomes a legible letter of Christ.

357: Fortman, Edmund: The Triune God
... "The Jews never regarded the spirit as a person; nor is there any solid evidence that any Old Testament writer held this view. . . . The Holy Spirit is usually presented in the Synoptics [Gospels] and in Acts as a divine force or power." (The Triune God, Edmund Fortman, quoted in, Should you believe the Trinity?, Watchtower publication) The spirit of Yahweh was often described in personal terms. The spirit was grieved, guided men, instructed them, caused them to rest (Ps 143.10; Neh 9.20; Is 63.10, 14).

358: The Interactive Bible:
This scripture in I Timothy 4:16, teaches that doctrine plays a part in our salvation. The Bible teaches that there are many doctrines. Jesus said, "But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." Commandments of men, even though they be of a religious nature, play no part in our salvation and worship to God, according to Matthew ... 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. Sometimes there is a tendency to emphasize Christian living and neglect Christian doctrine. This we must not do. They must not be separated. The great doctrines of Jesus form the foundation for righteous living.

363: How can I be born again?
Paul wrote, "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost" (Titus 3:5). The word "regeneration" means "new birth" (Vine, P.267). This cleansing occurs when a penitent believer is immersed in water, as may be seen in Paul's own conversion. The instruction he received was, "arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins . . ." (Acts 22:16). A clear example of the new birth is seen in the conversions which occurred on the day of Pentecost in Jerusalem. Spirit-filled men preached a Spirit-given message. Believers were ...

Worship is a time when we pay deep, sincere, awesome respect, love, and fear to the one who created us.
