What Is Apostolic Doctrine? by Eddie L. Hyatt

| November 21, 2024 | 4 comments

Apostolic doctrine, therefore, is not the new and novel teachings of someone who calls himself an apostle. Apostolic doctrine is the message of Jesus, His redemptive work, and His call to selfless discipleship that is found in the 27 books of the New Testament. It is time that we asked ourselves, “Are we continuing in the apostles’ doctrine?”

Great explanation here Dr. Hyatt. This really helps support what I’ve been teaching my students (Master’s College & Seminary — no not connected to McArthur’s school :-)). It’s not enough that the church have generic “teaching” (on practical Christian living, and/or life and leadership principles). But along with, and in fact of far greater importance than, such practical teaching is that we pass on the teaching of the Apostles–the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ, and the Spirit’s outpouring on Pentecost. There is a tradition, a story, that needs to be passed on and into which we must find ourselves immersed if any of the practical teaching elements are to make sense. So, it’s important that we don’t neglect “apostles'” as the modifier of what was being taught. Thanks for this.
