Sound Doctrine
At CEMA Ministries we believe that God's word can basically speak for itself. To that end, rather than provide a doctrinal paragraph with scripture references, we have chosen to provide a docrtinal phrase with scripture references. This allows the Holy Spirit to provide the interpretation.
