Statement of Beliefs |
| |
|
| 1 |
We believe
there is just one God, Mark 12:29 says: “And Jesus
answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel;
The Lord our God is one Lord:” |
| |
|
| 2 |
We believe
that Jesus is the only Lord. See John 14:6. John quotes Jesus as
saying “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” See
also Philippians 2:9-11 where Paul shows us that Jesus is Lord of all:
“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name
which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should
bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the
earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.”
As you can see, when we pray, we pray through our Lord. If you use any
other medium during prayer, then you are going against our Lords
teachings and what we believe. |

We
acknowledge the Resurrection. In failing to do so, you will be denying
all that our Lord Jesus had done and stood for. 1 Corinthians 15:17
states that, “And if Christ be not raised, your faith is
vain; ye are yet in your sins.” And Romans 10:9-10 says, “That
if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe
in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be
saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with
the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” |

We stand by
what the Gospel teaches. If you believe or respect another Gospel,
then you are being taught by a false scripture.
Gal. 1:8-9 says, “But though we, or an angel from heaven,
preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto
you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so
say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that
ye have received, let him be accursed.” |
| |
|

In 1 Corinthians
15:1-4, Paul states that the Gospel is the Word of our Lord and we
should believe in what it teaches: “Moreover, brethren, I
declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye
have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, if ye
keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in
vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also
received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the
scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third
day according to the scriptures:” |
| |
|
| 6 |
It is also
important to repent of our sins. Luke 13:3 says: “I tell you,
Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” 1 John
1:8-9 says, “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive
ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is
faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.” |

Without seeking
forgiveness, we can not move on and develop our faith because our
relationship with God. Paul shows in Romans 5-8 that we are free from
sin when we accept Jesus as our Lord and die with Him. But He tells us
that we must stop sinning or we become servants of sin and not of God.
Jesus tells us in John 15 to abide in Him so that we may bear fruit.
To abide in Him we must not just repent of our sin, but seek His
forgiveness and walk in the Spirit, not in the flesh. Galatians 5:25
says, “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the
Spirit.” |

THE APOSTLES CREED |
| |
I believe in God
the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the
Holy Spirit; Born of the Virgin
Mary; Suffered under Pontius Pilate; Was crucified, dead and buried;
He descended into Hell; The third
day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven; And sitteth
on the right hand of God the
Father Almighty; From thence He shall come to judge the living and the
dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit; The Holy Christian Church, the Communion
of Saints; The Forgiveness of
sins; The Resurrection of the body; And the life everlasting. Amen. |
