God told us in - {Ephesians 4:14} - to be no more children - tossed to and fro - and carried about with every wind of doctrine - by the sleight of men - and cunning craftiness - whereby they lie in wait to deceive. As to doctrine - the great majority of Christians are still children - or babes - What a spectacle we behold today in Christendom - with the mixture of Ritualism - Modernism - and Fanaticism - to say nothing of the Satanic cults. The slogan of the Modernist is - {back to Jesus} - They prefer the religious program of Jesus among the Jews to the Dispensation of the Grace of God which the risen Christ committed to Paul for the Gentiles - {Ephesians 3:1}. The Ritualist knows nothing of Paul’s Gospel and Body truth - Then there are multitudes of saved people - who love the Lord and His Book - who are following the traditions of men instead of - {Rightly Dividing the Word of truth}. Their rule is to practice what the church organizations have been practicing for centuries instead of searching the Scriptures to see whether these things be true. Then there are many genuine Christians who - with courage and zeal - are trying to recover for the Church of today the miraculous healings - tongues and other signs - with their slogan - {Jesus Christ the same - yesterday - today and forever}. Their program is one of disorder - discord and delusion - But they have at least dared to disregard the traditions of the elders in their earnest endeavor to bring back to the Church the signs and gifts of the 4 Gospels - of the Book of Acts - of the Epistle of James - and of the first six Epistles of Paul. They have failed to obey the Word of the Lord - in going on to perfection - from that which is in part to that which is perfect - they are - {babes - tossed to and fro - They have NOT put away - {babyish} things. And how sad and deplorable it is that our outstanding Fundamental Bible teachers look on helplessly - having no scriptural corrective - because they - {NOT} - only refuse to recognize the transition from the 4 Gospels - through the Book of Acts - with the great change and new revelation in Paul’s final Epistles - but bitterly oppose the servants of the Lord who do. God will surely teach them their lesson with the rod of Fanaticism - Pauline truth is the cure for almost every heresy and delusion with which the Church today is troubled.
