Right in faith ...wrong in doctrine.
You may be inspired by the faith of some people and maybe even certain groups ....but you may not be able to and or should not ...follow their doctrine.
At one time, towards the end of John Alexander Dowies' ministry, six ministers from six different denominations along with several doctors all watched as John Dowie reached up and pulled a large growth off the side of a ladies face, all in the name of Jesus Christ.
This lady was supernaturally healed right in front of these eye witnesses! The doctors present immediately began to examine her and marvelled at the creative miracle of new skin, like the skin of a new born baby, right where the growth had been.
One minister present exclaimed afterwards, "Don't tell me that you can't follow the faith of a man like that!"
Another minister, who was there as well, answered and said, "You can follow his faith, but you can't follow his doctrine!"
If you examined Dowies' doctrine you would find that it wasn't correct. Dowie even eventually came to tell everyone that he himself was Elijah, the Restorer, and the Messenger of the Covenant.
How can someone be right in faith and wrong in doctrine?
Well ...you can be right in your heart ...but wrong in your head.
If God only blessed those who were right in the head ....none of us would be blessed! 🤪
Study to show yourself approved able to RIGHTLY DIVIDE the scriptures.
Be aware ...you may be attracted to a groups passion, faith, and maybe even the miracles ...but those alone don't equate to that group having sound doctrine.
