The apostles doctrine (Act 2:42), the doctrine of Christ (John 1:9), and the doctrine of God our Saviour (Titus 2:10) are used interchangeably in the scriptures. However, this is a scripture which will seem to be contradictory. First let's take a look at this scripture in (John 7:16-19) before we go into the beliefs and actions of the apostles and the doctrine of Christ.
Listen to what Jesus is saying in John 7:16-19. Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. My doctrine, the doctrine of Christ is in the name of God, Spirit, who sent me and this doctrine, the doctrine of God, was developed before the manifestation of the Sonship.
Therefore, My doctrine, the doctrine of Christ, was developed when Jesus was in His Spirit form as the Father. Jesus became a man, which was sent from God (The Spirit - Deity-The Father). God revealed his saving name at the manifestation of the Son. Therefore, the doctrine of Christ was not revealed to man until then. Thus Jesus is saying this is my doctrine, not as a fleshly man only, but I developed it in my Spirit form. Jesus is the visible form of God and the manifestation of God's Highest Name. Thus, the doctrine of God is the same as saying the doctrine of Christ.
“If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.” Meaning - If one will do the will of God by studying and following his word, one will know who Jesus is, and one will know whether Jesus speaks as God (Deity) or whether he speaks as a Man. “He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.” Meaning - he that speaketh of himself, in the flesh, seeketh his own fleshly glory: but he that seeketh glory for God, the same is God. Jesus speaks of himself as God.
Jesus said, “Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me.” Meaning - Moses has told you, Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord. The one Lord is also our Saviour. Why would you kill me? I am the God of Israel and your Saviour - God in the flesh "The promised Messiah.”(Isaiah 43:11)
Jesus spoke on many occasions in this same manner. Christians would have to know Jesus in order to understand whether Jesus is speaking as a man or as the Spirit, thereby, understanding the concept of the doctrine of Christ being the doctrine of God. Christians and Jews should study to find out how God was using these manifestations of himself for the salvation of man.
When we understand the mystery of who Jesus is, then we will understand that the apostles’ doctrine which was taught by the apostles, the doctrine of Christ and the doctrine of God is the same doctrine (Acts 2:42).
