What then must we do with the doctrinal error prevalent amongst churches today? Paul’s 3-fold question in Romans 10:13-15 is the starting point in looking at the untaught followership

And it’s true: “Everyone who calls on the Lord’s name will experience new life.” But how can people call on him for help if they’ve not yet believed? And how can they believe in one they’ve not yet heard of? And how can they hear the message of life if there is no one there to proclaim it? And how can the message be proclaimed if messengers have yet to be sent? That’s why the Scriptures say: How welcome is the arrival of those proclaiming the joyful news of peace and of good things to come! Romans 10:13-15 (TPT)

This is a call to action for every concerned believer who lives with gravity of the price paid by the Lord to save the least of these misled souls! The abundant life Christ gives is not about money and good living! It is about living the life of Christ.

Consider the following scriptures:

i.             But avoid useless controversies, genealogies, pointless quarrels, and arguments over the law, which will get you nowhere. Titus 3:9 (TPT)
ii.            2 Timothy 3:8-2 Timothy 4:5 (Please take time to study these verses, which for reason of brevity we do not write) and
iii.           above all note

• Fasten your hearts to the love of God and receive the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who gives us eternal life. Keep being compassionate to those who still have doubts, and snatch others out of the fire to save them. Be merciful over and over to them, but always couple your mercy with the fear of God. Be extremely careful to keep yourselves free from the pollutions of the flesh. Jude 1:21-23 (TPT)
• We are convinced that everyone fathered by God does not make sinning a way of life, because the Son of God protects the child of God, and the Evil One cannot touch him. We know that we are God’s children and that the whole world lies under the misery and influence of the Evil One. And we know that the Son of God has made our understanding come alive so that we can know by experience the One who is true. And we are in him who is true, God’s Son, Jesus Christ—the true God and eternal life! So, little children, guard yourselves from worshiping anything but him’. 1 John 5:18-21 (TPT)

These are the most fundamental of precepts or guiding light to walk by. Ground yourselves in these, then you are ready to be useful to Him in correcting errors. Selah.
