Is doctrine important? 1 Timothy 1:3 , 1 Timothy 4:6 , 1 Timothy 4:16 , Romans 16:17 Sound doctrine reflects the intent of Gods will.
2 Timothy 4:3-4 , our faith is based on the message of the gospel and any improper change or modification which distorts the gospel will have detrimental spiritual impact. Doctrine is the instruction and teaching of the Holy Spirit of God to His saints. The Spirit teaches the same things, the same doctrine, the one truth to all the saints. Every Christian is taught by the Holy Spirit, John 14:26 , Matthew 10:19-20 , 1 John 2:27 . Jesus and the Apostles preached the gospel for a total of about 70 years but the understanding of the words they spoke came from the Spirit. 1 Corinthians 2:12-14 , John 14:17 , 1 Corinthians 1:18 , Jude 1:19 . Doctrine comes to us by Gods Spirit enabling the saint to understand the preaching of Jesus, the prophets and Apostles . If Jesus was not resurrected and ascended to God to send the Holy Spirit then no one would ever understand anything spiritual. 1 Corinthians 15:14-17 , once those 120 people received the Spirit on Pentecost a remarkable transformation took place in their spiritual understanding and just as Jesus told them before their conversion, John 14:26 , they remembered , John 2:22 , John 7:39 . The Apostles understood because the Spirit taught them then they went out and preached and any who did hear them were enabled by the same Spirit to hear. Jesus preached to the Apostles and the Spirit taught them the Apostles preached and the Spirit taught those who God selected to be chosen in this age. The will of God for humanity is revealed in the teaching of sound doctrine by the Holy Spirit to all called to be saints In this age and the age to come.
