Can you enlighten me further about the 3 doctrinal errors if this church namely; healing of the body in answer to believing prayer, the baptism of the Holy Spirit in response to prayer separate from salvation and the ability to live a holy and separated live in the present world.

I would also like to be enlightened about the three doctrinal errors. I was born again in the COGIC church over 40 years ago and that's all I'm familiar with. Also, what is suggested as a good biblical church?

Enlighten me too, I don't think anyone has spelled out clearly why this church is not good.

I am still waiting for further enlightenment about these 3 Doctrinal errors before I can comment further.

They are not matters of core doctrine, but denominational differences. (Unless 'live a holy and separated life' is taught as we must be 100% sinless or aren't Christian, but it's true we are a set-apart people and no longer slaves to sin).

Core doctrine is Jesus died & rose from the dead, Jesus is Messiah, salvation by faith, Resurrection of the dead, Christ has given us the Holy Spirit, etc.

Using primary doctrine interchangeably with lesser teachings is confusing, and will set up the premise that one denomination is 'right' wheras all others are wrong if they do not conform to it.

There is only one church, the body of Christ, comprised of all believers who follow Him as their Lord and Savior. (Eph 4:3-5, 1 Cor 12:12-14)

As to 'disputable matters', there are a number of eBible topics on those:
