Doctrinal Purity - Is it THAT Important?
Coonskinner mentioned that doctrinal purity was at the top of the list of attributes needed by a pastor. He put it on the same level as a love for God, and a love for people. Does this mean that any preacher desiring to be a pastor should attend a college/University to study doctrinal theology before they pastor? Or.....can doctrinal purity be achieved with a simple bible study?
How does one know they have achieved doctinal purity?
I'm not sure that doctrinal purity is even achievable!
1Cr 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
Thoughts?
