 - We would encourage anyone who moves away to find another local
 - 00:06
 - Bible -believing church, and also it says, of like faith. So number one, the church should be
 - 00:13
 - Bible -believing, and number two, if at all possible, and it might not be possible. If you move to an area, maybe the best church option has a few differences, so it really depends.
 - 00:24
 - But here's some of the similar doctrines, the key doctrines that would be in line with what we teach.
 - 00:31
 - Believers' baptism by immersion, I think that's a big one. In the day and age we live in, finding another church that believes in the autonomy of the local church, because the denominations are just going liberal at a rapid rate, so it's best,
 - 00:48
 - I think, to find a church that's independent. A proper view of the spiritual gifts,
 - 00:54
 - I think is important, a proper view of eschatology in the end times, the closer we get to the return of Christ, the more important it becomes to have a proper view of eschatology.

 - 02:06
 - Spurgeon said that, what, 120 years ago? And if he was around today,
 - 02:12
 - I don't know what he would say, I have an idea, but obviously we want to show reverence and respect to God, and have a healthy fear of God, and that's just something that's lacking more and more.
 - 02:26
 - So these are a few things, and if you ever do move away, which again, I don't want you to obviously, but I'd be happy to help assist in finding a good local church to attend.
