Top Highlights

“Doctrine literally means ‘something taught’ or ‘teaching and instruction.’ Bible doctrine is a framework of fundamental biblical truths arranged in a systematic form.” (Page 15)

“Doctrine literally means ‘teaching or instruction.’ Theology means ‘the study of God’ or our understanding of God and His relations with humankind.” (Page 17)

“Four of these were identified as the Foundational (or Cardinal) Doctrines. Jesus is (1) our Savior, (2) our Baptizer in the Holy Spirit, (3) our Healer, and (4) our soon returning King. In this course, these four points are treated as the doctrines of (1) Salvation, (2) Baptism in the Holy Spirit, (3) Divine Healing, and (4) the Second Coming of Christ.” (Page 10)

“‘There are three basic kinds of religious authority: (1) human reason, (2) the church, and (3) God’s Word.’” (Page 13)

“One possible distinction is that theology is the thought of individuals, while doctrine is the recognized thought of a church.” (Page 17)
