It's Man-Made

When concerning churches, you will have to watch out for man made doctrine.
Matt 7.15. Mark 7.7. Rom 10.1-2.  Romans 10.1-3   This kind of dogma 
is not from God and it can rob you of liberties which are yours to 
keep and will condemn your soul.
2 Peter 2.1-2.  Matt 15.13-14.

The only defense one can have against false doctrine, is the knowledge 
of the word of God which can be learned by private study Acts 17.11.   
Rev 2.2.   Jesus said all should be students of the word to be 
confident they are hearing truth.
John 5.39   John 8.31-32.

Many people praise churches, unaware that they are rejoicing in 
division.  However, the bible teaches that there is to be no division. 
1 Cor 1.10.  That all men should teach the small doctrine and if men 
would speak where the bible speaks and remain silent where the bible 
is silent, such could be the case.
1 Tim 1.3 1 Tim 4.16. 1 Tim 6.3. 2. Tim 1.13.

We cannot worship God as we please, we must worship God in spirit and 
in truth.
John 4.24.  Demand book, chapter, and verse for practices which you 
might hear in your church.
Ask, where was this belief ever done in scripture?
