A message of hope and truth
Identity of God
Our
God is just one God.
There are no separations of of His divine nature given to us in
scripture. God is the Father of all creation, He is referred as the
Heavenly Father, and Jesus called him Father. God is the Son manifested
in the flesh; foretold by the prophets and angels. God is the Holy
Ghost, a Spirit that was poured out on all flesh on the day of
Pentecost. Finally, the name of the God is Jesus. We have no other name
given to man that we must be saved by. We are to call on him in our time
of need, worship him, be baptized in the name of Jesus, and he is the
head of the church. Isaiah the prophet spoke of Him in this manner: "For
unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given...and his name shall be
called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God,
The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
Plan of Salvation
Salvation is only
given if one follows the biblically based plan as preached by Jesus
and by the Holy Ghost filled Apostles. Man cannot save himself,
therefore any doctrine of man should be ignored and rejected. According
to Jesus in Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, John 3, and the Apostle Peter
in Acts 2, we must repent, be baptized and we will receive the Holy
Spirit.
Repentance
The scripture is sure to speak the all men need forgiveness of their
sins.
Repentance is essential to receiving forgiveness, not forgiveness of man
even though we must forgive one another. Repentance to our God is the
only true way to remove sin from our lives. Too
many believe God will forgive without repentance and that is simply not
true.
Baptism
The Apostle Paul beautifully expounds
to us by way of the Spirit the importance of baptism. Paul writes in Romans, chapter 6, "Therefore we are buried with him
by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also
should walk in newness of life." Jesus tells a leader of the religious
world that to enter into the kingdom of heaven, one must be baptized in
water and spirit. Water baptism is just half of the baptismal
experience.
Holy Ghost
God is a Spirit and His temple is our bodies. He wants to live in you so
you may live in Him. Jesus, after he rose from the dead, instructed the
disciples to wait to be given power from heaven. In Acts chapter 2, the
disciples have done just that and when all were praying and worshiping
for one purpose, the Holy Spirit fell on them and they began to speak in
a new language as the Spirit gave them the ability to do. Many people,
thousands in fact, received the same experience and spoke in other
tongues. This experience is still real today. Receiving the Holy Spirit
is the completion of the baptism of water and fire.
The Word
The Holy Bible is indisputable and complete Word of God.
It clearly demonstrates in the Gospel according to John the power and the life contained completely in the Word of God.
In John chapter one: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God....(v.14)
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us..." We are commanded to
preach this gospel and no other. In fact, Paul said that if any other
gospel is preached, that person who preaches it is cursed.
All preaching is lead by the Spirit and is solely taken from the Holy Bible. All statements above are taken directly from scripture and not the interpretation of any man.
