“...AND THEY CONTINUED STEADFASTLY IN THE APOSTLES DOCTRINE...” Acts 2:41-42
          The Bible speaks of several types of doctrine. There is sound doctrine, unsound doctrine, false doctrine, and
          more specifically,“the apostles doctrine.” What is “the apostles doctrine?” Below I have assembled for your
          consideration a collection of the apostles doctrine on how believers are to interact with “one another.” We have
          instruction from eight different epistles and four different apostles. Take the time to prayerfully meditate on this
          display of some of the commandments from our holy apostles that we are to obey (2 Pet. 3:2). Think of your
          personal interaction with other believers from your local congregation, and you will know to what degree you
          are “continuing steadfastly in the apostles doctrine”:

Did you give yourself a passing or a failing grade? We are called to:

       “EXAMINE AND TEST AND EVALUATE YOUR OWN SELVES TO SEE WHETHER YOU ARE HOLDING TO YOUR
        FAITH AND SHOWING THE PROPER FRUITS OF IT. TEST AND PROVE YOURSELVES...” 2 Cor. 13:5 Amplified
