17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. 18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple (Romans 16:17-18).
Not all teaching concerning the Gospel is correct. We should always test what is taught and said according to the light of scripture. There are doctrines that are claimed by some to true, and yet there is not a shred of evidence from scripture that support them. Additionally, in the church today, many have mixed human reason and societal norms with church doctrine. The authority to which we should always appeal is God. It is God’s word that is true. It is God’s ways that are correct.
