What We Believe!
The Holy Bible
We believe the Bible is the inerrant word of God in its original language. We believe it has been written by inspiration of the Holy Spirit working through obedient servants. We believe it is to be studied and that we should live life as it recommends.
2 Timothy 3:16&17
God
We believe that God is revealed in three persons, the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. That these three are perpetually in unity as one, that there is one God manifested in three persons.
Matthew 28:19 & 2 Corinthians 13:14
Humanity
We believe that God created all things, Mankind as well. The man and woman were created perfect and sinless, with an immortal soul. That God gave each free will. We believe, that as Adam and Eve, each soul chooses to make choices that God disapproves of and therefore sins, falling short of the glory that God intended.
Romans 3:10-12
The Plan
Before the creation of mankind God had a plan. Given the rebellion of the angels/demons, God knew man would choose poorly. He has always been willing to forgive if the soul be willing to admit their sin and repent, having entered a new life. We believe that Jesus fulfilled every prophecy regarding the promised Messiah/Christ and redeemed us from the slavery of sin, so that we might enter the Kingdom of God, heaven.
1 Peter 1:18-21
God’s Grace
We believe that from the beginning God has been gracious to man, and He still is. He has been long suffering toward us, tolerating blasphemes, rejection and rebellion. He has done this because of those who He knows have a heart that will come to make a choice to allow Him to be their Lord, believing, obeying and trusting Him.
Romans 2:4 & 2 Peter 3:9
The Completion
We believe that there will come a time when, in order to rescue the souls, God will catch all believers up. He will reunite all saints with Him. While we enjoy heaven, He will systematically and gradually distress those left on Earth as described in the book Revelation, that those who will realize the truth will be willing to repent and submit to Him.
1 Corinthians 15:51-54 & 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, 5:9-11
Eternity
We believe that those souls who voluntarily accept Jesus as Lord, the Father as God and allow the Holy Spirit to help and guide them through this life will live for eternity in a new heaven and a new Earth, paradise. Those who reject the opportunity to return to the God that loves them will exist for ever in a place where God is not, hell. Given that they have a wicked heart and persist in harming each other, each is isolated and aware of what they have forfeited. But it is Gods desire that no soul make this choice.
Matthew 25:46 & Luke 16:20-31 & Ezekiel 18:23
Currently
We believe that regardless of the life style we have now, to have a right relationship with God will make it fulfilling. To know that we have God guiding, protecting, providing and interceding for us enhances our peace, confidence and joy. We believe God is present and active in our everyday life.
John 10:10
Our participation
We believe we are now to draw closer to God by studying His Scriptures and applying what we learn to our lives. We believe we are to help each other to understand and grow in our relationship with God and each other. We believe that we are to be about God’s business of helping as many souls as possible become saints, and appreciate the wonder of Almighty God and His love for them.
Matthew 28:19&20 & Philippians 2:12 & James 2:20
The Experience
We believe that as a soul returns to the Lordship of God they experience a new life, they are born again. We believe that every born again soul should experience the Baptism in the Holy Spirit for power.
John 3:3 & Titus 3:5 & 1 Peter 1:23 & Acts 1:5 & 8, 2:4, 39
