2.-It was Never Accepted as Doctrine in Any Statement of Faith, Baptist or Otherwise. 3.-This New Doctrine, Like the Claimed Authority of Popes and of Priests to Forgive Sins and Control All Christian Activities, Grows Out of Selfish Ambition of Men. That sounds bad but most heresies are started by good men who have some bias, some preference that causes them to pervert a good doctrine or start a heresy to fill what they believe is a need. But if a teaching is not in the Bible and is contrary to Bible truth, it is a heresy. And storehouse tithing is not Bible doctrine, so it is a heresy, as we will easily prove.
All heresy has a moral guilt attached.
Because of this tendency to seize on incidentals and ignore essentials, the Lord Jesus spoke in parables. People have a tendency to give their own private and biased interpretation, so Jesus spoke in parables so that no one would get the truth except those who honestly and seriously sought the truth. God holds truth as precious and He will not force it on the unwilling heart. He allows people to remain in darkness whose hearts do not seek the light. They try to find Scriptures for sprinkling.
