Doctrine is the difference between life and death; eternally.

I do not agree with the premise of this question except what is considered major and minor doctrines. We all have our own opinions what is major and minor. The first major doctrine that Jesus gave to mankind was the Ten commandments given in Ex 20. The commands of Jesus given throughout the NT and OT, are these considered major or minor doctrine. If the Creator God of all things and tells us something to do, is it important to him and only minor to us. As we know the scriptures tells us that the only way we can show love to God is by obeying His commands. When someone thinks in their minds that this is a major doctrine, I should follow it and think this is a minor doctrine, then we can or may not do it, there is a problem and I feel Satan influence has creep into the teaching from the pulpits.  All doctrine is what Jesus teaches that mankind should follow in His Way of Life, not what we think but what the scriptures teaches.  Blessing

(2 Tim 3:16-17 NIV) All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, {17} so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

(2 Tim 4:1-4 NIV) In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, … correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction. {3} For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. {4} They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

(1 Cor 15:2-5 NIV) By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. {3} For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance : that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, {4} that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, {5} and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve.

(John 14:15 NIV)  "If you love me, you will obey what I command.

(John 14:23-24 KJV)  Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. {24} He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

(John 15:10 NIV)  If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love.
