No. God's intent is that we develop a personal realtionship with Christ, through whom we gain salvation, purchased at the price of Christ's passion upon the cross.
The Bible is written for us to read as individuals, through which it is Christ's wish that we grow closer to him by a better understanding of his word.
While it also said that we should fellowship with one another to share our thoughts so that we may grow together as the body, the idea of dogma and doctrine are things of religion, and not our personal walk.
That's why its so easy to attack doctrine, its not what is meant to save us.
