Spiritual discernment in light of the original apostles’ doctrines – sermon audio
The world of Christianity is vastly different today than it was in the the first century when they were following the apostles’ doctrine (Acts 2:42). The apostles were qualified as such in that they were eyewitnesses to Jesus Christ’s life, ministry, and resurrection. This combined with abundant foundational revelation from God and Christ’s acknowledgement of their preeminent status in His kingdom makes them an order of magnitude above the Protestant reformers such as Martin Luther, John Calvin, and, well, anyone before or since.
