Well, CCC teachings was from their founder Kip Mckean and THEIR FOUNDER [Kip Mckean] was even disfellowshiped from their movement, somewhere in 2002.
http://www.davaochurch.wachanet.com/teachings.htmlTheir beliefs is:
4. Repentance and Baptism are necessary for the forgiveness of sins and to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38)
http://www.seachurches.org/new_website/resource_beliefs.htmHowever, kindly note that Acts 2:38 was preached by Peter to people of Israel.
After Jesus Christ ascended into heaven, Peter preached that the people of Israel should believe that Jesus Christ was who He said He was, the Messiah. They should repent, and be baptized with water (Acts 2:38). If they all did this, then Jesus Christ would return and bring in the kingdom just as the Old Testament prophets had foretold (Acts 3:19-21).
In order to understand the Bible, one must study dispensationally, that is, rightly divide the scriptures (2 Timothy 2:15). But what does it mean to study dispensationally or to rightly divide? On the most basic level: It is reading a Bible passage and asking, "Am I in the group of people being spoken to here?" That is, "Is this passage speaking to Christians?" Most commonly, we are taught that the entire Bible is written to us. But that is not entirely correct. The whole Bible is written
for us, for our learning, but not all of it is addressed
to us.
For example: When God gave the law to the people of Israel through Moses in about 1500 BC, one of the laws was to do no work on the Sabbath. The Sabbath lasts from sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday. When a man was found picking up sticks on the Sabbath in Numbers 15:32-36, God commanded the people of Israel to put him to death by stoning. Now does that mean if we see our neighbor mowing his grass on Saturday morning that he is committing a sin? Should we round up the whole neighborhood and kill him? Of course not. We must realize that the children of Israel were not Christians. We are not under the law of Moses like they were then. They lived in a different
dispensation from us.
Well, we CANNOT take the Scripture out of context and make it to be a doctrine
Our Christian beliefs must be based on the New Covenant, Jesus's Finished Work on the Cross.
Shalom,
one of God's many prodigal sons
