We're Taking Jesus to the World

We believe that He is the Son of God; who took away our sins, and the Saviour of the world. We also  believe that Jesus is God and was born by Mary the Virgin. He is God revealed in the flesh. Through  Him all things were created. John 1:1-14; John 14:9; Matt. 1:18-25, Is 9:6; Is 53:5-6. We believe in His  death on the Cross, and resurrection, by which He brought redemption – Is. 53:4-10; I Pet. 2:24; John  10:11; Gal. 3:13, Matt. 20:28; I Cor. 15:3; Rom. 4:25; II Cor. 5:14; Heb. 2:9; Heb. 9:26.

We believe that the entire Scripture, both Old and New Testament are written by the inspiration of  the Holy Spirit – II Tim. 3:16-17. All the Christian teachings and the Christian attitude of the Children  of God are such as are established in the Holy Bible – II Tim. 3:10-15; II Peter 1:21; John 17:17; Ps.  119:105.

As revealed unto us by the Bible, we believe that there is only one God, Who is the Creator of both  visible and invisible creatures -Gen. 1:1; Ps. 86:9-10; Is. 43:10-11; John 1:1-3. Only God will be in  existence forever. Ez. 3:14; in God every creature receives life -John 5:26.

The Holy Spirit is the third Person in the TRINITY. He has the same power, the same glory with God  the Father and God the Son – John 14:16-17; John 15:26; Matt. 3:16; Acts 13:24. He is one with  Father and the Son who is to be worshiped and served. Three Persons that become one are the  source of blessings to all the living creatures in Heaven and on earth – Matt. 28:19; II Cor. 13:14; I  John 1:5-7. The Holy Spirit has a great work to perform. He Teaches, He Speaks to men, and bears  witness in us – Acts 16:6-7; He performs the work of regeneration for man- John 3:5-6; He also  performs the work of Sanctification in the born again souls until they are fully sanctified – John 16:8;  Eph 1:17-19; II Thess. 2:13; I Cor. 6:11. This same Holy Spirit endows believers with gifts they can use  – I Cor 12:7; He empowers one in the Lord. Acts 1:8.

Repentance is the sorrow of a godly man for his sins with decision to abstain from them – Acts 3:19;  20:21; II Cor. 7:10; Mark 1:15; Is. 55:7; II Chron. 7:14; Ezek. 18:21.

This is God’s grace whereby we are cleansed from our sins by which we are able to stand before God  as though we have never sinned. Acts 13:39; Rom. 3:25-26; Rom 5:1; I Cor. 6:11; Gal. 3:24; John  1:12-13; 3:3; II Cor. 5:9; Titus 3:5; I Peter 1:23; Acts 10:43; John 3:3,5.

Sanctification is another grace of God by which our souls are progressively and completely cleansed.  This is the second accomplishment of the grace which through our faith in the Blood of Jesus Christ  is wrought after we have been justified and free from our sins or regenerated – John 17:15-17; I  Thess. 4:3; Heb. 2:11; 12:14; 13:12; I John 1:7; Luke 1:74, 75; II Cor. 7:1; I Peter 1:16; Eph. 5:25-27; I  Thess. 5:23-24; II Thess. 2:13.

All born-again souls should ask for the Holy Spirit from above, as the Apostles were ordered to wait  in Jerusalem until they were filled from above. It is the promise of the Father. It is God’s gift which  He gives to those who obey Him – Luke 24:49; John 4:14-26; Acts 1:4-5; Acts 5:32; Acts 8:14-17. It is  God’s promise unto those who are far and all whom the Lord shall call – Acts 2:38-39. Any Christian  who receives the baptism of the Holy Spirit must speak in tongues – Acts 2:4; Acts 10:34-36; Acts  19:2-6.

The Second coming of Jesus Christ will be in physical form and will be visible to all in like manner as  He was seen ascending up to heavens – Acts 1:9-11; John 14:3. His return will be in two stages: A.  Christ’s return in the sky – The Saints or Bride of Christ will be raptured to meet Christ in the sky – I  Thess. 4:15-17; I Cor. 15:51-52; Matt. 24:40-44; Matt 25:10 B. His return to the earth – He will return  to the earth to judge the sinners and the ungodly – Rev. 19:19-21; II Thess. 1:7-10; Jude 1:14-15;  Zech. 14:3-4.
