"Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ."
Do not think for a moment that, "....according to the tradition of men," is just for the "mainline denominational" people. Evangelicals and Charismatics have just as much, "according to the tradition of men," as they do.
It is imperative that you and I do not allow anyone or anything to bring a, "not according to Christ," in us. "....According to Christ," is our life, 0ur creed, our witness, our service to humanity. "For in Jesus dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Jesus, Who is the head of all principality and power."

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
