My reply to RoosterRedux follows your comment.

Various versions, along with commentaries, sermons, YouTube videos all give information.

Discerning doctrine is an exercise in deductive reasoning in which small parts are gathered, then assembled to arrive at a picture, the picture being the doctrine.
We err by believing that which is not true, by not believing that which is true, or by assembling just a small part of the picture and then making a (usually erroneous) declaration of the entire picture.

For example, Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come onto me, for of such is the kingdom of God.’ A large protestant church morphs that verse into a doctrine that states that little children are legitimate church members of that denomination.

They ignore the next verse which reads, “For anyone who does not enter the kingdom as a little child, is not worthy of the kingdom.”
By failing to include that next verse, this denomination, in their authoritative literature deceive their members. They left a critical piece out of the puzzle. Their doctrine is completely wrong.

I am not aware of any large Protestant church doing that.

Of course there is the Bar and Bat Mitzvah where 13 year olds are considered to be Jewish adults.

Which *denomination* would that be?

If you know of that church, what is it’s name?
