What This Free Course Covers

This short Q&A course gathers four Anabaptist and kingdom Christian answers to practical doctrinal questions. The lessons move from discernment about quoting Protestant writers, to whether Christians should celebrate Passover, to the early church pattern of laying on hands after baptism, and finally to how Scripture and early church testimony should be used when discussing doctrine.

The course is careful to distinguish between receiving truth wherever it is found and uncritically importing teaching that conflicts with Anabaptist or historic Christian convictions. It also emphasizes reading Scripture at face value, giving weight to all relevant passages, and using the early church as a helpful historical check rather than as an infallible authority.

Students will hear recurring concerns about the fulfillment of the old covenant in Christ, the practice of the early church, the fruit of the Spirit, and the need for humility when evaluating other Christians.
