Basics of the Faith
Have you ever considered what are supposed to be the most basic elements of the Christian Faith? I know for me I have always wondered where is the line between the basic course and the advanced course in Christianity. Today, I came across a list in Hebrews 6 that gives us some insight into what are some of the basic tenets of Christian Faith.
According to the author of Hebrews here are the starting points for developing a basic understanding of the Christian Faith:
- Repentance from works that only lead to death (sin)
- Faith in God
- Ceremonial washings, baptism could be included in this
- Laying on of Hands
- Resurrection of the Dead
- Eternal Judgment

Amazing isn't it that the first issues of the faith are tough issues for the modern day believer?Why is it so? "Instant coffee" syndrome may b one reason for this sad if not tragic situation. Easy believism and impatient preachers concerned with numbers of decisions for Jesus and not with genuine conversions.
The Lord said a disciple is not greater than his teacher.If the teacher has no idea about the issues of Hebrew 6 how shall he teach the new believers the same?
