    Difficult problem, so many different denominations:

    trinity

    hell fire - that the wicked are tormented in hell (they are not)

    eternal soul

    that our spirit is a self contained life form

    Christ rose in the flesh

    that grace is all, saves forever. (doesn't - evil willful works damns forever!)

    that all good Christians go to heaven when they die

    that the earth is 6000 years old. ("In the beginning . . ." - no time stated)

    that God is omniscient -- he isn't (but he knows all our thoughts, everything happening now)

    sabbath must be observed

    tithing

    that the new earth and new heavens are literal new ones

    God has a fleshly body - flesh and bones

    Jehovah is Jesus and vice versa

    Moses saw God literally

    that the founding of the world is before the earth was created

    that the Melchizedek priesthood is of Aaron's line / descendants

    that God's people today are the fleshly Israelites

    new covenant not for all Christians

    1914 is when Jesus became king (33CE)

    1914 - soon after the resurrection began (hasn't happened yet)

    1914 - the gentile times began, (why aren't they finished yet?)

    1914 - Satan ousted from heaven -- (he is still up there!)

    that we shouldn't try to study deeply ourselves and find Bible truths

    that we must obey the GB as we would God. (not servants of men, not gospel of men)

    that the Faithful and Discreet slave has been selected

    (Matthew 24:46-47

    "Happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so. 47 Truly I say to YOU,

    He will appoint him over all his belongings."

    This scripture proves that the FD is over all Christ's belongings not just his earthly ones. Thus the present FD is false.)

    Any doctrine that goes against the word of God is a false doctrine.

    Prosperity preaching

    Name it and claim it

    Jesus is God

    Just saying the name Jesus will bring you power and deliver you from evil

    Praying to the Virgin Mary and other saints

    If God doesn't answer your prayer favorably then you did not have enough faith or didn't pray enough.

    Believing in Jesus is enough to make it to heaven, whether you followed his ways or not.

    There is no hell, just a state of mind

    You must attend church to be a true believer.

  • The ones that say that gays and abortion mothers murdering their babies by another name is right.

    The ones that preach to put yourself and money over God.

    Any other that preaches against Jesus and that sin is OK

    PS Even on here as I read, God's doctrine is rejected by giving me negatives.

    Where to begin? Ok- I'll give my best shot on what I know and have personally been subjected to first hand. I'm going to list them in caps-not yelling, just emphasis.

    *TRINITY DOCTRINE

    *ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED

    *ONLY 144,000 TO BE SAVED (JW)

    *ANOTHER TESTIMENT OF JESUS CHRIST (THE BOOK OF MORMON)

    *THE RAPTURE (THERE IS NO RAPTURE- ONLY A RESURRECTION AT THE END OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION)

    *PROSPERITY (NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING RICH AND BEIGN SAVED, BUT MANY DECIEVE WITH OTHER FALSE DOCTRINE TO GAIN WEALTH FOR THEIR OWN)

    *THE RITUALS AND PRACTICE OF CATHOLICISM (PRAYING TO IDOLS SUCH AS STATUES IS A SIN AND FALSE, TRINITY IS FALSE, CONFESSING YOUR SINS TO A PRIEST IS FALSE, YOU ONLY NEED CONFESS YOUR SINS TO THE FATHER IN HEAVEN, OR TO EACH OTHER, NOT TO A PRIEST YOU CALL FATHER, YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO CALL ANYONE FATHER ON EARTH, YOU HAVE ONE FATHER AND HE IS GOD ALMIGHTY)

    THAT THE EUCARIST IS THE ACTUAL BLOOD, AND BODY OF CHRIST, THIS IS SO FAR FROM THE TRUTH IT STINKS.)

    CONFIRMATION, SACRAMENTS, ETC...NOT NEEDED TO BE SAVED. AND MUCH MORE..TOO MANY TO LIST.

    *TO BE TOLERANT OF SIN (ALLOWING SIN IN THE CHURCH ON ANY LEVEL- JUST PRAY FOR FORGIVENESS AND KEEP ON A SINNING.)

    *LEGALISM (MAN TELLING YOU HOW TO DRESS, WHAT TO DO IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE- SETTING CURFEWS ON YOU, ETC...TO HAVE ABSOLUTE CONTROL OVER ONES LIFE. )

    *THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE THE POWER TO CAST OUT DEMONS OR HEAL THE SICK- (THIS IS FLAT OUT FALSE, YOU DO HAVE THE POWER, IF YOU ARE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND HE LEADS YOU TO DO THIS, PRAYER AND FASTING SOMETIMES IS NEEDED TO CAST OUT DEMONS, AND GOD MUST CALL YOU AND YOU MUST BE FULLY ARMED WITH THE WORD OF GOD.)

    *THAT WATER BAPTISM SAVES

    *DOCTRINES THAT DENY JESUS AS THE SON OF GOD

    There are so many other false doctrines that are contrary to the word of God, that it would take a book to cover them all. It's unfortanunt, be we are living in the days of Apostate, and we are about to see Anti-Christ revealed. Be watchful and decerning, Have the full armor of God on, Strive daily, Work out your own salvation with trembling and fear, as even the very elect can be deceived in these last days.

    Seek first the Kingdom of God AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS and all things shall be added unto you. You must be ever seeking God and the Spirit of Truth daily, continue running the race of faith in hope that you might be saved. Those who endure til the end, the same shall be saved. This means to the end of your life, or to the end of days.

    Bottom line, If you are being taught ANYTHING contrary to the Apostles doctrine, then it is FALSE DOCTRINE.

    I apologize for any typos- looks like spell check is not working.

    I tried.

    God Bless.

    i'm not positive what you recommend by ability of "being saved with large challenge". a number of what you've listed are really in simple terms denominations really than sects. there is not something in scripture that prohibits Christians and church homes from networking with each and each. also, denominations fluctuate commonly on secondary concerns which incorporates church company and liturgy really than center doctrine. except for, Christians of denominations do not carry that one should be a member of a particular denomination to be saved and to be a baby of God. we are all one in Christ regardless of the position we worship. Galatians 3:26-28. Sects--in a nutshell--reject orthodox Christian center doctrine. they'd deny the divinity of Jesus Christ, prepare salvation by ability of works or ending contact by ability of works, that one ought to belong to the sect to be saved, claims of completely being the "actual" church (the sturdy information is inclusive, not unique), claims of having a monopoly on the Bible, inflexible existence-form rules, salvation by ability of regulation, and others. The enemy's poison is frequently disguised as piety, and the concept we are hostile to Christ by ability of being a member of a denomination church is each bit as stimulated by ability of hierarchical wondering, self-pastime, and pride as is the declare that one ought to belong to a particular team to be saved. All of humanity misses the mark. this can be a huge element of the point contained in the Gospel. Our sturdy information is that salvation is a free present of God out of His love for the global which we get carry of via faith in Christ Jesus. we've all been "anti-Christ" ********** Romans 3:10-12 (NIV 1984) because it really is written: “there is not any one righteous, not even one; there is not any man or woman who's conscious, no man or woman who seeks God. All have became away, they have at the same time develop into valueless; there is not any man or woman who does sturdy, not even one.” ********** If humanity had by no ability became hostile to God, then why did Jesus die on the bypass? If we, by ability of our personal goodness and sturdy deeds, will be saved, then why did Jesus die on the bypass? it isn't we who stain Christ by ability of our contact with Him yet really Christ who washes us sparkling of all unrighteousness in His contact with us. Peace be with you.

    None of them. All doctrines, even the ones I disagree with, are based on someone's interpretation of the bible.
