Welcome
to our web site
WHAT WE BELIEVE
We have ONE God, who is absolutely
and infinitely perfect; who exists eternally
in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son
and God the Holy Spirit; they are never in disagreement;
but are always in perfect harmony in all things.
God CANNOT lie, and CANNOT sin in any way. God
will never change. God has always been, and
always will be. God is NEVER wrong in any thing
He ever does.
Our
Saviour and Lord, Jesus the Christ (the Messiah),
is the only begotten Son of God the Father.
He is absolutely 100% God, and absolutely 100%
Man. He was conceived by the Holy Ghost and
born of the virgin, Mary. He suffered just as
the prophets said He would, then bled and died
on the Cross at Calvary; the JUST for the unjust
(the world, us), as an acceptable substitutional
Sacrifice to God on our behalf. ALL (whosoever) believe in Him are completely forgiven of all
their sins; justified by His precious and holy
Blood, thus receiving His righteousness as their
own (1 Cor.1:30). He rose from the dead (was
resurrected), again, according to the Scriptures.
He ascended to the right Hand of God, the Father
Almighty where He now acts as our great High
Priest and Advocate.
The
Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost) is a divine PERSON;
one of the three Persons of the Trinity. He
is 100% God! He is sent to baptize, indwell,
guide, teach, admonish and empower all those
who trust Jesus as their Saviour and Lord. He
also convicts the world of their sin, of righteousness
and of judgment (John 16:8-9). Both
the Old Testament and the New Testament are
inerrant (never wrong) as originally given,
and both were inspired by God and are a complete
revelation of His will for the salvation of
mankind and his daily lifestyle. Throughout
the Bible, God speaks to us, showing us what
He expects of us.
Man
was originally created in the image of God:
with a capacity to think, to feel and to know
God. He fell through disobedience; bringing
on himself both physical and spiritual death.
Since the fall of Adam, ALL men (and women)
are born with a sinful nature, and are separated
from God by their sin, and are God’s natural
enemies. We can be rescued from our fatal plight
only by the atoning Blood of Jesus, and His
Work on the Cross.
Salvation
(being saved from sin and spiritual death) has
been provided through Christ Jesus for ALL mankind.
ALL (whosoever)
who humble themselves and repent, believing
on the Lord Jesus Christ are "born
again" (spiritually). Once
you TRULY believe and have become God’s child,
you receive the GIFT of eternal life and NO
ONE can ever take that away from you (John 10:27-29). ONCE SAVED, ALWAYS SAVED!
The
TRUE church is made up of ALL "born
again" believers (saints), NOT denominations!
Only Almighty God can make a "saint." Christ is the Head and the Cornerstone of the
Church; and EVERY believer has the duty of telling
others about Jesus (witnessing, Mat.28:19).
This duty does NOT belong just to preachers
and teachers, but to ALL believers! We, as the
church, are to gather together to worship God,
and learn more about Him, and to fellowship
together.
ALL
who have ever lived shall one day be bodily
resurrected. God’s children will receive glorified
bodies like Christ, and shall be granted entrance
into Heaven (God’s Home). The unjust (ALL unbelievers
who reject and deny Jesus) shall also be resurrected
bodily; that resurrection unto judgment (Hell). The
Rapture (1 Thes.4:13-18) is imminent and impending
and will be a personal calling out of ALL God’s
children (ONLY the TRUE church), BEFORE the
Great Tribulation Period. The TRUE church will
NOT go through the Great Tribulation (Rev.3:10;
1 Thes.1:10; John 5:24). Since NO ONE knows
when this event will take place, we should live
our lives as if Jesus were coming today. We
must be ready! ALL
God’s children (the church) will stand before
the Judgment Seat of Christ to receive rewards
or lose rewards that they could have had. Our destination (Heaven) has already
been assured the moment we turned to Christ
to save us.
ALL
the wicked (unjust, ungodly, unbelievers, all
who reject and deny Jesus) shall stand before
the Great White Throne Judgment. Since their
sins are not washed away by the Blood of Jesus;
they shall receive punishment for EVERY sin
they ever committed, and they shall spend eternity
in Hell (everlasting destruction).
What We Believe
We believe that everyone (whosoever)
places their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour
and Lord, and believes that He died to pay for our sins on the
cross (1 Cor.15:3-4) shall be saved. We believe that we are saved by the grace
of God through faith alone (Eph.2:8-9), and are baptized into
Christ by the Holy Spirit (1 Cor.12:13), and we are sealed in
Him for the coming day of the Rapture (Eph.1:13; 4:30; 1 Thes.4:14-18).
Two Ordinances
We believe that the church has two ordinances:
Baptism, by immersion unless the person is not able, and the
Lord’s Supper (Communion), to celebrate His death until
He returns (Mat.28:19; 1 Cor.11:24-32).
The Bible
The entire authorized Word of God (NOT the new corrupt, modern versions), all 66 Books, in its original writings was inspired of God and
is of complete authority (2 Tim.3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21).
The Godhead, the
Triune God
There is ONE God, eternally existing in three Persons: the
Father, the Son, Jesus and the Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:26; Matthew
3:16-17; Matthew 28:19; John 14:26; John 15:26; Romans 8:9;
1 Cor. 12:3-6; 2 Cor. 13:14; Ephes. 4:4-6; 1 Peter 1:2; 1 John
5:7; Jude 1:20-21; Rev. 1:4-5).
Virgin Birth of
Jesus
Christ Jesus was the only begotted Son of God, conceived by
the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin, Mary. Christ Jesus
is 100% God and 100 % Man. He never gave up His right as God,
but set it aside because of His great love for us. He left the
glory of Heaven to come to Earth as Man to suffer and die on
the cross, for us! He paid a debt He didn’t owe because
we had a debt we could’s pay. Anyone who denies the virgin
birth of our Lord, Jesus cannot be a "Christian" in
our estimation.
Salvation
God the Father justifies repentant sinners by His amazing
grace, when they believe on the Lord Jesus and confess Him as
their Saviour and Lord. When we accept Jesus and believe in
His work on the cross, we are washed in the precious Blood of
Jesus. (John 1:12; Rom.5:1-2; 6:6-7; 10:9; 1 Cor. 6:20; Col.
2:13-14; Hebrews 9:12; 10:19; 1 Peter 1:2, 18-19; 1 John 1:7).
Eternal Security
NO one is saved by their own works. Only Christ Jesus can
save your soul (John 14:6; Acts 4:12). Once saved, always
saved. Upon a sincere and heartfelt acceptance of Christ,
the Holy Spirit comes to abide within and when He comes, He
is there for ever (John 14:16; 2 John 1:2). You do NOT possess
the Spirit one day and the next day He is gone. God does NOT
give the Spirit by chance. He gives the Spirit, only to those
people who are genuine and honest in their committment to Jesus.
And once you are saved, you saved for ever! A wonderful Promise
from God. (Col.3:1-3; Phil.1:6; Rom.8:1, 29-34, 38-39; Eph.
1:13-14; 4:30; John 14:16; 2 John 1:2). For
ever!
Person and Work of The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost), is the third Person in the Triune God that we Christians worship. He convicts us of our sin, He regenerates us, He baptizes us into the Body of Christ (the church), He enlightens us, He empowers us, and He indwells TRUE believers for ever! (John 14:16; 2 John 1:2; John 16:8; Titus 3:5; 1 Cor.2:10; 12:13; Eph.1:13,17-18; 3:16; 1 John 4:13).
The Body of Christ
(the Church)
There are NO denominations in Heaven, just born again believers.
There is only one TRUE church, that being the Body of Christ
(1 Cor.12:13; Eph.1:22-23; 3:16). The church started with the
apostles and disciples were first called Christians (Acts 11:26).
Spiritual Gifts
The gifts needed for the edification of the Body of Christ
are listed in Rom.12:4-8; Eph.4:7-16. Many of these gifts were
needed for the early church and are no longer in operation today.
All sign gifts such as tongues, healing and prophecy were temporary
and have ceased (1 Cor.13:8-11). We do not believe in the “You
Name It, You Claim It” doctrine of today. We do not believe
that unless you must speak in tongues, you are not a Christian.
Riduculous! Show me where Jesus tells us we must speak in tongues.
NO where!
Resurrection
Christ Jesus was resurrected from the dead bodily
(Luke 24:39-43). Because of this, ALL persons shall be resurrected
bodily the same as Jesus (1 Cor. 15:20-34). ALL people, the
righteous and the wicked, shall have their body resurrected
(Acts 24:15). The saved shall have everlasting glory and the
unsaved shall have everlasting punishment in the Lake of Fire
(John 5:28-29; Rev.20:11-15). Also see: Job 19:26; Psalm 16:10;
Psalm 49:15; Isaiah 26:19; Daniel 12:2; Hosea 13:14; John 6:39-40,
44; 1 Thes.4:14-18.
The Rapture of the Church
The rapture of the church which is the Body of Christ (1 Thes.4:14-18)
will come as a thief in the night (Mat.24:43; 2 Peter 3:10;
1 Thes.5:2). He shall return in the clouds the same way that
He left (Acts 1:9-11; 1 Thes.4:17). The Rapture shall take place
just before the Great Tribulation. NO one knows the day that
it will happen (Mat.24:36; Mark 13:32).
The Great Tribulation
Period
We believe that immediately following the Rapture of the church
(John 14:1-3; 1 Thes. 4:14-18), that the righteous judgment
of Almighty God shall be poured out on the unbelieving world
(Jer.30:7; Dan.9:26-27; Mat.24:21-29; 2 Thes.2:7-12; Rev.16:1).
This time is prophesied by the prophets of old (Dan.9:26-27;
11:36; 12:1; Jer.30:4-7; 46:21; Joel 2:1, 31; Isa.10:3; 22:5;
Eze.22:17-22; Hos.9;7; Mic.7:4; Zep.1:15; Mal.4:5). It is also
mentioned many times in the New Testament (Mat.24:8, Luke 21:34-36;
21-29; 1 Cor.5:5; 1 Thes.1:10; Rev.3:10; 6:16; 6:17).
The Second Coming
of Christ
The Second Coming of Christ to the Earth shall be different.
ALL people shall know that it is Christ returning just as He
said He would (Zec.14:2-4; Rev.1:7; 19:11-21). His Second Coming
will be seven years AFTER the beginning of the Great tribulation.
The 1000 Year
Reign of Christ Jesus on Earth
We believe that after the Great Tribulation period, Christ
shall occupy the throne of David on Earth (Mat.25:31; Luke 1:31-33;
Acts 2:29-30). Christ shall establish His Kingdom on Earth for
1000 years (Rev.20:1-7). During this time the saints resurrected
at the Rapture shall reign with Him over Israel and all nations.
This reign shall eb preceded by the overthrow of the Antichrist
and the False Prophet, and by removing Satan from the world
for those 1000 years (Rev.19:11-21; 20:1-6).
We believe that the 1000 year Kingdom will be a fulfillment
of God’s Promise to Israel (Isa.65:17-25, Eze.37:21-29;
Zec.8:1-17) to restore them to the land that they forfeited
through their disobedience (Deut.28:15-68). The result of their
disobedience was that Israel was temporarily set aside (Mat.21:43;
Rom.11:1-26), but they shall be awakened through repentance
to enter the land of blessing (Jer.31:31-34; Eze.36:22-32; Rom.11:25-29).
The Great White
Throne Judgment
We believe that after the release of Satan from his 1000 year
prison sentence, after the 1000 year reign of Christ (Rev.20:7-8),
Satan shall again deceive the nations and gather them together
for one final battle (Rev.20:9). After his defeat, he shall
be cast into the Lake of Fire (Mat.25:41; Rev.20:10). Christ
will then judge the great and the small at the Great White Throne
(John 5:22; Rev.20:11-15). All those before this Judgment shall
be judged according to their works (2 Cor. 11:15; Mat.25:31-32,
40; Rev. 20:12). The books shall be opened. (Daniel 7:10). The
books of God's remembrance, both of the evil and the good (Psalm
56:8; Psalm 139:4; Malachi 3:16): of conscience (Romans 2:15-16),
the Word of Christ (John 12:48), the law (Gal.3:10), God's eternal
counsel (Psalm 139:16). Whosoever is not found written in the
Book of Life shall be cast into the Lake of Fire (Rev.20:15).
The Condition of Lost Mankind
ALL people by nature are dead in trespasses and sins and are
therefore, completely unable to achieve salvation of their souls
by their own strength and/or wisdom. NO person is righteous
in God’s eyes without acceptance of Jesus. ALL people
are sinners (Psalm 14:1-3; Psalm 53:1-3; Rom.3:10,23; 6:23;
1 Cor.1:18-31).
The State of the Dead
God’s Holy Word does NOT, in any place, extend the hope
of salvation to any unsaved person. Instead God clearly reveals
that that they shall continue to be in a state of conscience
suffering ( Luke 16:23-28; Rom.1:21-32; John 3:36; Phil.3:19;
Col.3:6; 2 Thes.1:8-9; Rev.14:11; 20:14-15). Any teaching of
universalism, the brotherhood of man, probation of Hell after
death, purgatory, annihilation of the unsaved dead, or the unconscience
state of the dead, saved or unsaved, is totally unscriptural
and extremely dangerous to your eternal soul (Ecc.12:7; Luke
16:23-28; Phil.1:23; 2 Cor.5:6-8).
Mission and Work
of the Church
The purpose and assignment of the church, the Body of Christ,
is to proclaim the Gospel of Christ to the world (Mat.28:19-20;
2 Cor.5:14-21). We are to preach Christ Jesus according to the
mystery (Rom.16:25; Eph. 3:8-9) with all boldness. We, like
the apostle Paul must preach and teach the entire Word of God
(2 Tim.4:2; Gal.1:8-9). We preach Heaven, we must preach Hell,
or we shall be held accountable. God’s Word has much more
to say about Hell than it does Heaven. Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: (KJV)
We MUST “Go ye therefore!” The majority of people
who “profess” Christ (say they are a Christian),
do NOT do as our Lord Jesus tells us in this verse. If we say
we trust Jesus, we must OBEY Him as well! Trust and obey, for
there is no other way! IF you do NOT "Go
ye therefore" it is doubtful that
you are really saved.
