Do you think Paul took the scripture out of context when he used the Red Sea crossing as a type of baptism? exodus says nothing of the sort.
Im not saying twist the scriptures to conform to a man made doctrine. Im simply saying there are many applications to certain scriptures. and if thats not the case then we have no right to preach against tobacco products, drugs, pornography, just to name a few things that are not found in the Bible.

Maybe that is the point, maybe you don't have the right, if it is not spelled out in scripture leave it alone.
And if it is not in scripture and you still teach something, expect that someone is going to challenge you.
