Correct answers should all be "yes." Important verses to consider:
- Jesus said we are to observe “all things whatsoever I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:20).
- Practicing the doctrines of men makes worship vain (Mark 7:7–9).
- All plants not planted by the Father will be rooted up (Matthew 15:13).
