Have you met my family?

No. Please tell me that they are not serpents.

Or did you mean that they take up serpents?

Or none of the above?

We must read the scripture within context, and we must compare it with the rest of scriptures. If we are rightly dividing the Word, we should not have a conflict between passages of scripture.

well I disagree 1,000,000,000,000,000 % yes it is necessary to have at least two scriptures to validate a doctrine.

The premise is silly.

Not the premise is not silly, it maybe silly to you, but no it is not silly.

Then please provide the two or more scriptures that validate your doctrine.

Are there any other doctrines we follow that are only mentioned once?

The doctrine that "a woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment".

The doctrine that "baptism doth also now save us."

The doctrine that one must be BORN AGAIN of "water and Spirit".

Apparently, some who believe in a great end time revival teach it from one passage in Revelation ch 7...

with the exception of the "garments and end time revival" as far as I know. There are many more scriptures that teach on baptism and being born again.
But what do the folks say about the "garments" that dont believe one scripture is enough to establish a law or doctrine.

There are "many more Scriptures that TEACH ON"... but yet the specific doctrines or beliefs I mentioned are found in only ONE passage each. There are many passages for example teaching things about our appearance and what is acceptable clothing etc, but there is only one verse in the entire Bible that tells us it is an abomination for a man to wear a women's garment or for a woman to put on a man's garment.
