Hi
Apostles prophets (the prophetic movement) and the five-fold ministry is another doctrine going around, although Ray has touched on it with his bible study on church government.
Spiritual warfare and casting out devils.
Healing and deliverance although I guess that might well come under WOF movement which has previously been mentioned.

This goes along with the Catholic confession thing, I think, that many churches teach to repent or ask for forgiveness daily. I know we die daily, but it is my understanding that we are brought to repentance and receive the Holy Spirit and NOT continually 'daily' repent.
I found a site where this is explained.
Daily Repentance Stirs the Mighty Waters of Baptism
In the gift of forgiveness of sins, the Holy Spirit stirs the waters of our baptism. As He stirs the waters through daily repentance, He drowns the Old Adam and brings to the surface our New Adam. It is the New Adam, the creature of love, who daily rises to build the marriage (Eph. 4:22ff).
Beneath the keyboard of my computer are the words of Luther's Morning and Evening prayers. These prayers of repentance prod me to see my constant need to repent! Through repentance the Spirit stirs the waters of Holy Baptism with God's "yes" in Jesus Who accepts the sinner!
When Luther declared in the first of his 95 Theses that "the whole life of the Christian was to be a continual repentance," this was beautiful baptism language. It was a call to that blessed daily death called "Baptism." In Baptism we are brought into union with Christ (Rom. 6:3). It is this union which can feed the marriage union. By daily repentance of our sins, we stake to the cross the arch enemy of any marriage, our sinful nature.

I don't know, one traditional church doctrine I've yet to see Ray expand upon is the one that states that during the final judgment we'll be made to watch the lives of every single person that ever lived.
Of course, come to think of it, maybe he hasn't, because that doctrine just sounds very dumb. (20 billion people, (random number) times 75 years (average) = WORST. MOVIE. EVAR. or "Daddy, where's the popcorn?" or "When do we get to the good parts?")
