Beliefs

1) That there is only one true God, & is the eternal existant in three persons: the Father, the Son, & the Holy Spirit. a) God the father is perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, & has divine unlimited powers. That He hears our prayers and He answers our prayers. And all who has repented of their sins and believes that Jesus Christ is His Son. b) Jesus Christ, is the divine, eternal, and only begotten Son of God. That Jesus Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin and lived a sinless life! That He shed His blood to atone our sins. That He was RESSURRECTED from the dead & is at the right hand of God. That Jesus Christ intercess for us, His children. And that He will return for His children in power and glory. c) The Holy Spirit in deity & has a personality. He was sent forth from God the Father to convince the world of sins, of righteousness, & of judgement. The Holy Spirit also came to regenerate, indwell, sancify, instruct, & comfort all of Gods children. 2) The Bible is the true Word of God & His only Holy Word. It is the supreme authority in all matters of faith & conduct. In other words if the Bible says it; That Settles It!! 3) The Gifts of the Spirit to be used only as stated in the Bible. No other way. To walk in Love First. because with out Love the Gifts of the Spirit is nothing. 4) The Fruits of the Spirit. Walk as Jesus did. 5) That all men are, by nature, & by choice are sinners destitue of power to save themselves. That all men are in need of salvation through Jesus Christ and repentance of sin. 6) That all Christians are ordained by the power of the Holy Spirit to spread the Gospel to the world. Not all are to be Pastors; but all are to use their Gifts to Present the gosple. An in 1 Corinthians 12:28-31. That the primary message to the world is, one must repent of their sins, & through confession to God that he/she is a sinner who is hopelessly lost. That Jesus Christ is the one & only true Son of God. And through Jesus Christ there is any other way. The only way our sins are forgiven. That Jesus Christ blood paid the full penalty for our sins, & that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead, & now is seated at the right hand of God in heaven. that we ourselves cannot earn our way to heaven but through God's FREE gift of Jesus Christ the Lamb of God, sacrificed blood. 7) That the unrepentive lifestyle of any sin, fornication, homosexual, stealing murder, adultery, abortion, ect... ect... All of which must be repentented of. We should love the person, & hate the sin. 8) That the method of baptism is by water submersion of his/her body. As this is a represention of the spiritual burial of the old man & the resurrection of the new man in Jesus Christ. That ones salvation is not dependent on the baptism itself. It is the outward evidence of ones desire to be obedient to God & His Commandments. This is one of the two sacraments. 9) That "The Lord's Supper" as often as it is taken, is second of the two sacraments., other then baptism, that the church is commanded to administer to the saints. That if anybody has problems with somebody they first must handle it, before they can take communion. 10) a) That there is a real heaven and the place where believers go immediately upon the death of their earthly bodies. They are in a conscious state & are glorifying God. b) That there is a real hell, a place of eternal torment & there is no way out. That the unrepentive sinner will be forever separated from God. 11) I believe that salvation can only be obtained through Jesus Christ & not through any law keeping of keeping a Saturday Sabbath. I believe that the New Testament Church established keeping Sunday as the day of the week to come together. They set this day aside because it was on that day that Jesus Christ arose from the dead. 12) That all things should be done unto the Lord. And to bring Honor & Glory to Him.
