About God

There is only one God, the creator and ruler of all things – the things we know about and those we do not. He exist in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They three are co-equal and together are one in God. There is no authority above or beyond God and there never will be.

[quote] In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. 2 Corinthians 13:14[/quote] Also: Genesis 1:26-27; 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2

About Jesus

Jesus is one of three things: a liar, a lunatic, or the Lord. He either lied about being the Son of God, made it up, or He is indeed the truth. We believe He is who He says He is. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, co-equal to the Father. He was born of a virgin and lived a sinless life on earth. He died by crucifixion upon a cross as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people. He rose from the dead after three days to fulfill the scriptures and demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended into Heaven’s glory and will return again to earth to reign as the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.

[quote] Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are – yet was without sin. Hebrews 4:14-15

For what I received I passed on to you as first importance; that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6[/quote] Also: Matthew 1:22-23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5, 14:10-30; Romans 1:3-4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14-15; Titus 2:13

About The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He exists in the world to make men aware of their sin and their need for Jesus. He resides in every Christian from the moment of salvation and provides authority, power, and spiritual gifts for all who believe. He acts as a counselor and provides spiritual revelation to Christians and daily guidance for this life.

[quote] Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? 1 Corinthians 3:16

And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit. Ephesians 1:13 [/quote] Also: 2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-16, 14:16-17; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 5:1

About The Bible

The Bible is the holy and complete word of God. It was written by human hands under the supernatural revelation of the Holy Spirit, as the source of truth for the world. It is truth and the ultimate authority for all Christians. The Bible is whole. It cannot be divided or separated into parts to suit anyone’s personal preferences. The Bible is without any mixture of error. After every preacher or teacher passes away, the word of God will endure.

[quote] All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and t the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever. 1 Peter 1:24-25

Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 1:20-21

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12[/quote] Also: 2 Timothy 3:16, 1:13; Psalm 119:105, 160, 12:6; Proverbs 30:5

About Salvation

Salvation is the true gift of forgiveness for all people’s sins and eternal security. Salvation comes to an individual only through God’s grace and remains with those who have accepted it only through God’s grace. Nothing, any person, at any time could, would or has ever done can keep them from receiving salvation by grace or cause them to lose their salvation. Accepting Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness is the only way for anyone to be saved from sin’s penalty, eternal death and separation from God. Accepting God’s gift of salvation requires a complete surrender of one’s self. The moment a person is saved, their new eternity begins.

[quote] For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

For the wages of sin is death, but he gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know what you have eternal life. 1 John 5:13
[/quote] Also: John 14:6, 1:12; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1

About the Church

The Church is the body of Christ. Anyone who has accepted Christ as Lord and Savior for their lives is a member of the Church. Christ is the head of the Church and God has placed all things under his leadership for the Church. Membership in a church does not make anyone a member of the Church, only salvation by grace. The body of Christ cannot be divided by denomination, geography, race, or time. Man’s feeble attempt to do so will one day come to an end when the bride of Christ makes herself ready for the Lord’s second coming and the Church is called up together to join Him in the air. Each member of the Church serves in a certain role with a single purpose: to see the world come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. The Church and every individual part has been given power, authority, revelation, and direction by the Holy Spirit. The Church is to be in this world but not of it.

[quote] Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying of pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” He said to me “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. Revelation 21:1-7[/quote] Also: 1 Corinthians 12:12-27; Ephesians 1:22-23; Revelation 19:6-9; Ephesians 5:22-33
