Doctrine #7 Ordinances of the Church

So guard yourselves and God’s people. Feed and shepherd God’s flock—his church, purchased with his own blood over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you as leaders. I know that false teachers, like vicious wolves, will come in among you after I leave, not sparing the flock. Even some men from your own group will rise up and distort the truth in order to draw a following. [Acts 20:28-30] This is where your life of wisdom and knowing what the Word of God says is critical or you could easily be sitting in a lukewarm, fluffy church. As Acts 20:28-30 indicate there will be people in the pulpit that will be distorting the truth and will be false teachers.
