Our pastor once said, "This is a rule here (at the school). There is no verse for it, but it is a rule." I thought it was very good of him to explain why we had rules, and the difference between those and commandments. Usually the rules that were not based on commandments in Scripture, you were not likely to get kicked out of school for. Our school/church was big on the study of Scripture and making us ask over and again, "Why do I believe what I believe?" We had to read books from authors opposed to generally accepted doctrines and then say if we agreed with them or not, and why or why not. It really drove me and DH to look into Scripture for doctrines. That came in handy when he began to talk to someone looking to change denomiations. Dh made him ask what things each believed and why. Neither was our denomination, but DH feels he made the right choice in sticking with his current church which is a lot closer to Bible Truth.
