Hong Kong
Lessons on Foundational teaching are continuing to be sent to believers in Hong Kong. The teachings are based on two passages:
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.
Matthew 16:15-18 NKJV
Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
Hebrews 6:1-2 NKJV
The foundational topics being taught are
(1) Jesus Christ is the Son of God, (2) repentance, (3) faith, (4) the doctrine of baptisms, (5) the laying on of hands, (6) the resurrection of the dead (7) eternal judgment
