Forbidden to Go Beyond

1. Doctrine of Christ (2 John 9-11)

2 John 9-11Whoever transgresses and does not

abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; 11 for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.


1. Doctrine of Christ (2 John 9-11)2. Gospel Preached (Galatians 1:6-8)

Galatians 1:6-8I marvel that you are turning away

so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, 7 which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.


1. Doctrine of Christ (2 John 9-11)2. Gospel Preached (Galatians 1:6-8)3. Spirit of Faith (2 Corinthians 4:13)

2 Corinthians 4:13And since we have the same spirit

of faith, according to what is written, "I believed and therefore I spoke," we also believe and therefore speak.”

Faith comes from hearing God’s word (cf. Romans 10:17. In order to have the “spirit of faith”, what we speak must be in accord with God’s word.

Romans 1:17For in it [the gospel] the

righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”

1 Corinthians 2:1-5And I, brethren, when I came to you,

did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 3 I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.



Doctrines of Men

Matthew 15:1-9; 2 John 9-11;

Matthew 15:13

Matthew 15:7-9Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah

prophesy about you, saying: 8 “These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. 9 And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.”

Doctrines of men are Vain!

2 John 9-11 Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; 11 for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.

Those who go beyond, do not have God!

Matthew 15:13But He answered and said, “Every

plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted.”

Jesus here referred to the vain traditions of the Pharisees, indicating that their traditions were not from God, and so would be rooted up.

Perverted GospelGalatians 1:6-9

Galatians 1:6-9I marvel that you are turning away

so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, 7 which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.

WithoutFaith – SinRomans 14:23

Romans 14:23But he who doubts is condemned

if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.

In eating, he is not striving to obey God’s law, therefore his eating is sinful.

Man’sRighteousnessRomans 10:1-3

Romans 10:1-3Brethren, my heart's desire and

prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.

Romans 3:13-18

Romans 3:13-18“Their throat is an open tomb;

With their tongues they have practiced deceit”; “The poison of asps is under their lips”; 14 “Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.” 15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood; 16 Destruction and misery are in their ways; 17 And the way of peace they have not known.” 18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

ConclusionBoth within and without the church,

there are men who contend that doctrine has no bearing on a person’s standing with God.

Do not heed any man who seeks to minimize the importance of maintaining faithfulness to the

words of our God!
