2 John 1:6 (KJV)
And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.

Notice that this epistle is not self contained. The reader is dependent upon those things “ye have heard from the beginning” for proper understanding. The transgression of the doctrine of Christ, mentioned in verse nine, can only be properly informed by what we learn in other passages.

The Mormons have a doctrine of Christ
But it is different than a Christian’s.

The Jehovah’s Witnesses have a doctrine of Christ
But it is different than a Christian’s.

The Seventh Day Adventists have a doctrine of Christ
But it is different than a Christian’s.

Even the Muslims have a doctrine of Christ
And it is different than a Christian’s.

In every case to understand the doctrine of Christ we must refer to what has been previously taught. In order to get the doctrine right we must go back to what the Bible teaches and not a church denomination or other religion.
