::: Verse of the Day :::
For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work.
If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.
| 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 |

After teaching discipleship group on Sunday, Justin asked some questions that made me think... He was talking about what he had learnt from others about each one interpreting the bible differently. I believe that although its true that there is no set syllabus, we are still accountable to what we tell others about. People tend to blur the lines between right and wrong. You won't go to hell if you don't believe in healing from God through Christ. But you don't know what you're missing out on.

My opinion is, as long as you are walking closely with God. Spending time with Him and listening to Him, you should be alright. Of course there is the matter of obeying what time bible says. Kenneth Hagin Jr. hit the nail on the head when he wrote in His bible "what the Word says, I will do."
We must also take into consideration what example we're setting to others. But again, if Christ shines through, we don't have to worry about that.

Of course... this is susceptible to more debate.
