The Development Of Doctrine
The development or propagation of doctrine was always two-fold; it was to combat false teaching and teachers while at the same time instructing the saints, the elect of God; believers, those chosen from before the foundation of the world, and then called out to be the congregation to which instruction in the truth is to be made.

The Value Of The Divine Scriptures
In studying the Word of God, we do not come to sit in judgment upon the Book, but to hear reverently and believingly what God, the Author of the Book, has to say unto us. In the language of youthful Samuel we say, "Speak, Lord, for Thy servant heareth." If we would gain profit by the study of God's Word, we must ourselves be taught of the Holy Spirit. Our intellect, our heart, our conscience must be entirely submissive to His teaching. Then when we are willing scholars surrendering ourselves to Him, He will teach us all things, and bring all things to our remembrance which our Lord hath spoken to us.

A Review: The National Synod Of The Belgic Reformed Churches, Held At Dort, In The Years 1618 and 1619
We conscientiously object to an established church in any form, believing that such establishments are unscriptural, and always have proved themselves to be, more or less, persecuting bodies. These religious formations stand opposed to the separate, independent churches formed by the apostles under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Every true church is complete in itself.

44 Bible Doctrine – The Being (Existence) Of God
I would like to welcome you back to another study in Bible Doctrine. I am pleased to say that we begin this day with the actual content of Gill’s “Body of Divinity”. We are looking at the first thirty chapters, all dealing with the blessed Godhead of the TriUne Jehovah. Of course, I have rearranged these chapters in order to align them with the Framework of Sovereign Grace. These chapters are located on the top right corner of the diagram, next to the TriUne Jehovah, all of which deal with the being, existence and perfections of the Godhead.

Body Of Divinity: The Being (Existence) Of God (DB1/C1)
Having undertaken to write a System of Theology, or a Body of Doctrinal Divinity; and Theology being nothing else than a speaking of God, or a discoursing concerning him; his nature, names, perfections, and persons; his purposes, providences, ways, works, and word: I shall begin with the Being of God, and the proof and evidence of it; which is the foundation of all religion; for if there is no God, religion is a vain thing; and it matters not neither what we believe, nor what we do; since there is no superior Being to whom we are accountable for either faith or practice.
