Tithing wasn't mandated to Abraham either, yet he did it. Are we the children of Abraham because of faith only?
No one ever told me to give tithes when I became a Christian. I decided to follow the example of Abraham when I read the OT for the first time, then eventually when I got in church I learned what tithing was.
