Doctrine is still the primordial basis on which the entire scheme of grace reposes; it is still the explaining, substantiating, comprehending element in the great scheme of salvation revealed in the inspired Word. In a secondary sense of the term, doctrine may be defined in general as any human statement or expression of the dogmatic element thu...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
